Django form not saving email - django

Question

My views-
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from .AuthForms import registerUserForm
from django.contrib import messages
from django.contrib.auth import login, authenticate
def registerUsers(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
ucf = registerUserForm(request.POST)
if ucf.is_valid():
ucf.save()
new_user = authenticate(username = ucf.cleaned_data['username'], password = ucf.cleaned_data['password1'])
login(request, new_user)
return redirect('content')
else:
ucf = registerUserForm()
return render(request, 'LoginAndSignUp/SignUpPage.html', {'ucf': ucf})
My form -
I have extended the usercreationform
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm, AuthenticationForm , PasswordResetForm
from django import forms
class registerUserForm(UserCreationForm):
email = forms.EmailField(widget = forms.EmailInput(attrs={'placeholder':'Email', 'autocomplete':'off'}))
username = forms.CharField(widget= forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder':'Username','autocomplete':'off',}))
password1 = forms.CharField(widget= forms.PasswordInput(attrs={'placeholder':'Password'}))
password2 = None
class meta:
model = User
fields = ['username', 'email', 'password1']
class userLoginForm(AuthenticationForm):
username = forms.CharField(widget= forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder':'Username','autocomplete':'off'}))
password = forms.CharField(widget= forms.PasswordInput(attrs={'placeholder':'Password'}))
class userPasswordResetEmailForm(PasswordResetForm):
email = forms.EmailField(widget = forms.EmailInput(attrs={'placeholder':'Enter your email', 'autocomplete':'off',}))
class Meta:
model = User
fields = '__all__'
Here is my template. I suppose everything is correct but still its not saving the email
<form novalidate action="" method="post">
{%csrf_token%}
<div class="fieldWrapper">
{{ucf.email.errors}}
{{ucf.email}}
</div>
<div class="fieldWrapper">
{{ucf.username.errors}}
{{ucf.username}}
</div>
<div class="fieldWrapper">
{{ucf.password1.errors}}
{{ucf.password1}}
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 4%;">
<span class="director">Already with us? Log In</span>
<div class="director">
<i class="fa fa-compass"></i> Explore anonymously
</div>
</div>
<button class="primaryButton" type="submit">Sign Up</button>
</form>
The email field is not saving the email to database wherease the username and password is correctly being saved. Someone please help

Your code seems to be fine. I recreated your project and it works as intended. username, password and email are saved to the auth_user table. This is what mine looks like:
urls.py
urlpatterns = [
// other urls
path('users/', register_users, name='create_user')
]
views.py
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.contrib.auth import login, authenticate
from users.forms import RegisterUserForm
def register_users(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
ucf = RegisterUserForm(request.POST)
if ucf.is_valid():
ucf.save()
new_user = authenticate(username=ucf.cleaned_data['username'], password=ucf.cleaned_data['password1'])
login(request, new_user)
return redirect('content')
else:
ucf = RegisterUserForm()
return render(request, 'users/sign_up_page.html', {'ucf': ucf})
forms.py
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from django import forms
class RegisterUserForm(UserCreationForm):
email = forms.EmailField(widget=forms.EmailInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'Email', 'autocomplete': 'off'}))
username = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'Username', 'autocomplete': 'off'}))
password1 = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'Password'}))
password2 = None
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['username', 'email', 'password1']
sign_up_page.html
<form novalidate action="" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="fieldWrapper">
{{ ucf.email.errors }}
{{ ucf.email }}
</div>
<div class="fieldWrapper">
{{ ucf.username.errors }}
{{ ucf.username }}
</div>
<div class="fieldWrapper">
{{ ucf.password1.errors }}
{{ ucf.password1 }}
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 4%;">
{# <span class="director">Already with us? Log In</span>#}
<div class="director">
{# <i class="fa fa-compass"></i> Explore anonymously#}
</div>
</div>
<button class="primaryButton" type="submit">Sign Up</button>
</form>
