In need of immediate help from Django community

[Aritra Ray]

Hi,

I've been facing a problem recently in creating a Django Profile model for an E-commerce website.

Error: FieldError(message) django.core.exceptions.FieldError: Unknown field(s) (username) specified for Profile

Kindly help me out if possible. The screenshots have been attached below and the github link for the project has been provided.

Regards,

Aritra

I think in second image ( usercreateform ) your model needs to be User not profile

Error is in forms.py file. 

"model = User" not profile.

Default "User" model comes with username, email filed.

Why you're creating another email field in the Profile model?

Just fetch it using {{ user.email }}

Import the User model in your forms.py and use it instead of Profile. As the error clearly states, the Profile model does not have a username field. Django actually recommends using the AbstractUser, or the AbstractBaseUser to extend the default User model if you wish to create something like a profile.
