python - Login returns extended model not the base model -

disclaimer: i'm 1 month python , django, , building first project budding programmer.

desired functionality: new user opens app , registers username , password. taken profile page input series of things. submit it, , should linked user (creator) , profile (content). can see , edit page.

current problem: when log in admin, can see profile information. when log in regular user, see information requested @ registration (username) user. not see profile information, although fields(empty) there. effectively, login taking me user not profile. i'm guessing have problems in models. should start on abstractuser model , use one-to-one extended profile model? think may have done backwards. thank you!!

what see when:

logged in user "bbasil":

student name:

preferred first name:

registration , signup pages
both cookie cutter django:

registration_form

{% extends 'layouts/base.html' %}  {% block title %}registration form - {{ block.super }}{% endblock %}  {% block content %}  <h1>register account</h1>  <form role="form" action="" method="post"> {% csrf_token %} {{ form.as_p }} <input type="submit" value="submit" />   </form>  {% endblock %} 

create_profile

{% extends 'layouts/base.html' %}  {% block title %}create profile - {{ block.super }}{% endblock %}  {% block content %}  <h1>create profile</h1>  <form role="form" action="" method="post"> {% csrf_token %} {{ form.as_p }} <input type="submit" value="submit" />   </form>  {% endblock %} 

it turns out should not have logged admin , front end same browser. fixed logging admin using incognito mode admin login doesn't override current user's session.

i felt little silly when discovered this, might person new django!
