def register(request):
    if request.method == "POST":
        form = UserRegisterForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            username = form.cleaned_data.get("username")
            messages.success(request, f"Your account has been created! You are now able to login!")
            return redirect("login")
    else:
        form = UserRegisterForm()
    return render(request, 'users/register.html', {'form': form})

@login_required
def Profile(request):
    profile.objects.get_or_create(user=request.user)

    }
    return render(request, "users/profile.html", context)

AttributeError at /profile/'function' object has no attribute 'objects' Request Method: GET Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/profile/ Django Version: 2.2.8 Exception Type: AttributeError Exception Value:'function' object has no attribute 'objects' Exception Location: /Users/ /Desktop/project/users/views.py in profile, line 20 Python Executable: /Users/ /.local/share/virtualenvs/project-9FFMjpiO/bin/python

Answer 1

Line number first of Function Profile , the model Profile is probably not imported OR if imported using profile ,

profile.objects.get_or_create(user=request.user)

means you are referring to profile function not the Model itself.

So replace profile with Profile and also import the model in your views.py.
