[Python] TemplateDoesNotExist at /users/register/ bootstrap5/uni_form.html

I am building a registration form for my django project, and for styling it I am using crispy forms. But, when I run my server and go to my registration page, I see this error:

Internal Server Error: /users/register/

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

This doesn't look like the usual TemplateDoesNotExistError I get. I think this is the error in my crispy form, because if I remove the crispy template tags in my form, everything works fine.

Here is my register template:

{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}

{% block title %}Register{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
<h1>Sign up for a new account</h1>
<hr>
<form action="" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form|crispy }}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">Register</button>
</form>
<p>
Already have an account?
<a href="#">Log in</a>
</p>
{% endblock %}


And just in case it is required, here is my view function:

def register(request):
form = RegistrationForm()

if request.method == 'POST':
form = RegistrationForm(data=request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return HttpResponse("Successfully Registered!!!")

context = {
'form':form,
}
return render(request, 'users/register.html',context)


I have specefied CRISPY_TEMPLATE_PACK in my settings.py and also added crispy_forms to my INSTALLED_APPS. Where am I going wrong?

EDIT:

So I did a bit more research on this topic and this error is probably because crispy forms does not support bootstrap 5 yet. So, by changing the bootstrap5 to bootstrap4 in my CRISPY_TEMPLATE_PACK, the error is solved
