Help me please!

  1. Have you done a “makemigrations” / “migrate” for this app? (Or, if not, have you created these tables?)

  2. Have you made the appropriate settings change to use this CustomUser?

  3. Is the name of the app in which this CustomUser resides named “users”?

  4. Can you post the output of a “showmigrations”?

Ans of your question.

  1. I’ve done them.
  2. Help me do it.
  3. Yes it’s users.
  4. Show migrations:

To answer your question, see Substituting a custom User model and the AUTH_USER_MODEL setting.

Something’s out of sync. Since you’re using Sqlite as the database, I’d suggest trying it from scratch. Change the database to a different file, migrate, and verify that the table has been created in the database. If that works, check your current database to see if that table exists. If it doesn’t, then that table got dropped somehow. (No way to tell how.)

views.py

        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            email = form.cleaned_data.get('email')
            messages.success(
                request, "Your account has been created! Your ar now able to login.")
            return redirect('login')
    else:
        form = CustomUserCreationForm()
    return render(request, 'users/register.html', {'form': form})


@login_required
def profile(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        u_form = UserUpdateForm(request.POST, instance=request.user)
        p_form = ProfileUpdateForm(
            request.POST, request.FILES, instance=request.user.profile)

        if u_form.is_valid() and p_form.is_valid():
            u_form.save()
            p_form.save()
            messages.success(request, "Your account has been updated!")
            return redirect('profile')

    else:
        u_form = UserUpdateForm(instance=request.user)
        p_form = ProfileUpdateForm(instance=request.user.profile)

    context = {
        'u_form': u_form,
        'p_form': p_form
    }
    return render(request, 'users/profile.html', context)

Is there any problem with my views.py flle?

So you’ve verified your database and can see the table in it?

Yes, it’s possible that you have errors in your view - but none are going to generate that error.

Thanks I accidentally deleted my migrations folder.
Then I created it and created a file named init.py inside it.
Deleted the db.sqlite
then did all the makemigrations and migrate.
It worked for me.

From seeing all the other problems you’ve reported, I was starting to get the impression that you had mistakenly deleted one or more migration files. Glad to see you’ve gotten it working.
Be aware - you do not want to delete any migration files, unless you’re going to delete all of them. (And even then you want to be careful doing that.)
