After creating a custom user for my python django app, i started getting the error stated on the title. It only happens when i wan't to add a new user from the admin panel that's when i get the error "Unknown field(s) (username) specified for User. Check fields/fieldsets/exclude attributes of class CustomUserAdmin." I have tried searching for answers everywhere on the internet but no luck. admin.py:
# accounts/admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
from .forms import CustomUserCreationForm, CustomUserChangeForm
from .models import User
class CustomUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
add_form = CustomUserCreationForm
form = CustomUserChangeForm
model = User
list_display = ['email', 'first_name','last_name', 'image', 'country_code','country', 'phone','state_province','city_town','address', 'postal_code',]
add_fieldsets = UserAdmin.add_fieldsets + (
