Add this to your models.py
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
def _hook_save_user(instance, sender, **kwargs):
try:
instance.get_profile()
except UserProfile.DoesNotExist:
UserProfile.objects.get_or_create(user=instance)
post_save.connect(_hook_save_user, sender=User)
