In my project I have two apps. Both of these apps require the *email* field not to be blank and one of those apps doesn't need the *first_name* and the *last_name* fields, so I decided to override the default *User* class available from *django.contrib.auth.models*. I did it following this <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/auth/customizing/#auth-custom-user> guide.
Here you can find the models.py <https://dpaste.org/pZV9> file for the app where my new User class is defined, as well as the settings.py <https://dpaste.org/tS8R> code for my overall project (in the end of the file I define *AUTH_USER_MODEL*). As the guide I linked in the above paragraph suggests, I modified the admin.py <https://dpaste.org/QABt> file as well. I updated the models.py <https://dpaste.org/wwhp> file of my other app to use the project-wide *AUTH_USER_MODEL* as well. However, when I try to add a new user via the admin interface, I get an error saying *FieldError at /admin/employers/user/8/change/ Unknown field(s) (first_name, last_name) specified for User. Check fields/fieldsets/exclude attributes of class UserAdmin*. Here's the traceback: https://dpaste.org/osxj I'm not sure what is going wrong here. I followed the guide here <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/auth/customizing/> in its entirety (you can see that from my admin.py file), but I still get the error. *What is going on here? How do I fix this error?* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
