Hi luisza I've choose work overriding the save() method of the AbstractUser class, instead of apply the post_save() signal to the create_profile_for_new_use function.
According to the prevouos mentioned, my User MedicalProfile, PatientProfile y PhisiotherapystProfile models stayed so: from __future__ import unicode_literalsfrom django.conf import settingsfrom django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUserfrom django.db import modelsfrom django.template.defaultfilters import slugifyfrom django.dispatch import receiverfrom django.db.models.signals import post_save class User(AbstractUser): is_medical = models.BooleanField(default=False) is_physiotherapist = models.BooleanField(default=False) is_patient = models.BooleanField(default=False) slug = models.SlugField(max_length=100, blank=True) photo = models.ImageField(upload_to='avatars', null = True, blank = True) def save(self, *args, **kwargs): user = super(User, self).save( *args, **kwargs) # Creating and user with medical, patient and physiotherapist profiles if self.is_medical and not MedicalProfile.objects.filter(user=self).exists()\ and self.is_patient and not PatientProfile.objects.filter(user=self).exists()\ and self.is_physiotherapist and not PhysiotherapistProfile.objects.filter(user=self).exists(): medical_profile=MedicalProfile(user=self).save() patient_profile=PatientProfile(user=self).save() physiotherapist_profile=PhysiotherapistProfile(user=self).save() #profile.save() #
