Encountered unknown tag 'endfor'

I have watched the video twice and redid my code with the {% if current_user.is_authenticated %} and I tried it with {% if current_user.is_authenticated() %} and both of them don't work I keep getting the error "Encountered unknown tag 'endfor'. Jinja was looking for the following tags: 'elif' or 'else' or 'endif'. The innermost block that needs to be closed is 'if'." And I change it to and if statement then it changes the error to something else. I appreciate the help I've been stuck on it for a few days

Thanks

There are two things I see.

You have {{ endif }} instead of {% endif %} in 

<h1>Hello{% if current_user.is_authenticated %} {{ current_user.username }}{{ endif }}!</h1>

You're missing a % in

{ for category, message in messages %}
