Um. It sounds like you've misunderstood something about how the template
inheritance mechanism works or what it's for. Do you expect rendering
base.html to show stuff in templates that extend base.html ??? It
doesn't work that way.
If you want to render a child template, render the child template.
Say you have a base template, base.html, with two blocks foo and bar.
If your child.html template extends base.html, and provides a block foo,
when you render child.html, it renders like the base template but with
the foo specified in the child.html.
(OTOH, if you want to include a template in another template, you can
use the include tag)
** base.html:
{% block foo %}
Hello
{% endblock foo %}
{% block bar %}
World
{% endblock bar %}
** render base.html:
Hello
World
** child.html:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block foo %}
Goodbye
{% endblock foo %}
** render child.html:
Goodbye
World
