How to solve this error and why getting this error? I also keep my all foreignkey fileds unique by using related_name

The error was for two reason:

  1. I was using default Django User in my all models author = models.ForeignKey(User,on_delete=models.CASCADE,max_length=100, related_name='author') it should be author = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,on_delete=models.CASCADE,max_length=100, related_name='author')

  2. I was using wrong name for AUTH_USER_MODEL in my settings.py

This should help you with when to use AUTH_USER_MODEL and when to use get_user_model() …
