I am migrating my model in Django project but error is being generated.Below is the code. What should be corrections in my code to solve this

Models.py
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

# Create your models here.
class UserProfileInfo(models.Model):

    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

    #addtional
    portfolio_site = models.URLField(blank=True)

    profile_pic = models.ImageField(blank=True,upload_to="profile_pics")

    def __str__(self):
        return (self.user.username)

Forms.py
from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from basic_app.models import UserProfileInfo

class UserForm(forms.ModelForm):
    password = User.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput())

    class Meta():
        model = User
        fields = ['username','email', 'password']


class UserProfileInfo(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta():
        model = UserProfileInfo
        fields=['portfolio_site','profile_pic']     

Admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from basic_app.models import UserProfileInfo


# Register your models here.
admin.site.register('UserProfileInfo')

I am getting Attribute Error: 'str' object has no attribute '_meta'

The parameters of admin.site.register(..) [Django-doc] are a model, or iterable of models; and optionally a model admin. Not a string of that model.

You thus should pass a reference to the UserProfileInfo, not a string that contains that name.

Like:

# app/admin.py

from django.contrib import admin
from basic_app.models import UserProfileInfo

# an identifier, not a string
admin.site.register(UserProfileInfo)
user_675790

No need to wrap model with string just type model name in admin.py

Admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from basic_app.models import UserProfileInfo


# Register your models here.
admin.site.register(UserProfileInfo)
user_31175920
