Answer 1

Well, the error is dispatched because you should not make a POST to /resource/:id (/users/2). In case you expect to update info use PUT. I think that you are passing #opinions to form_with helper, which I guess is an array of Opinion of a user. If so, you should create a variable #opinion = Opinion.new to execute correctly in the user views. But please edit the post with the UserController.rb file to help you better.
A correct way should be like this:
##UserController.rb
...
def show ## I will guess that you are using Opinion form in User Show
#user = User.find(:id)
#opinions = #user.opinions
#new_opinion = Opinion.new
end
...
## app/views/users/show.html.erb
...
<%= form_with(model: #new_opinion, local: false) do |form| %>
<%= render 'opinions/form' form: form %>
<% end %>
...
## app/views/opinions/_form.html.erb
...
<div class="field rich p-3">
<div class="control">
<%= form.rich_text_area(
:body,
label: "What's Your Opinion",
input_html: {class: "textarea"},
wrapper: false,
label_html: {class: "label"},
placeholders: "Your opinion...",
autofocuse: true
) %>
</div>
...
</div>
...
<%= form.button :submit, class: "button is-info" %>
...
Remember, the form partial should not contain the form_with tag. Use local variables of render tag to pass the form attribute.
Hope I help. Good Luck!
