Why does my django webserver stop after trying to send password reset mail

Question

The problem: I am setting up the "forgot password" functionality for my website but whenever it is triggered the webserver shuts down. (when I hit the "submit" it waits for a while and then exits the program, then I have to "runserver" again)

The URLS:

path('reset_password/',
     auth_views.PasswordResetView.as_view(),
     name="reset_password"),

    path('reset_password_sent/', 
        auth_views.PasswordResetDoneView.as_view(), 
        name="password_reset_done"),

    path('reset/<uidb64>/<token>/',
     auth_views.PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(), 
     name="password_reset_confirm"),

    path('reset_password_complete/', 
        auth_views.PasswordResetCompleteView.as_view(), 
        name="password_reset_complete"),

Settings setup:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '*******@gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = *******'

Here are the logs, I tried to read them but I got no idea how to fix this error.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Seems like you are missing the key: [is_nav_sidebar_enabled]

attribute django.template.base.VariableDoesNotExist: Failed lookup for key [is_nav_sidebar_enabled]
