My Django form is not validating and storing information in database

Question

I have created a custom user model and using that model I have created sign up form. but whenever I click submit button ,form does not validate and don't store data in database. It just redirects me to home without storing data in database. but I can store data manually in database.

models.py

from django.db import models

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser, BaseUserManager



class SignUpManager(BaseUserManager):
    def create_user(self, email,age,name, username, password=None):
        if not email:
            raise ValueError("insert user")
        if not username:
            raise ValueError("insert username")
        if not name:
            raise ValueError("insert name")
        if not age:
            raise ValueError("insert age")
        user = self.model(
           email=self.normalize_email(email),
           username=username,
           age=age,
           name=name,
        )
        user.set_password(password)
        user.save(using=self._db)
        return user

    def create_superuser(self, email,name,age,username, password):

        user = self.create_user(
            email=self.normalize_email(email),
            username=username,
            password=password,
            age=age,
            name=name,
        )
        user.is_admin = True
        user.is_staff = True
        user.is_superuser = True

        user.save(using=self._db)
        return user


class UserSignupModel(AbstractBaseUser):
    email = models.EmailField(verbose_name="email", max_length=60, unique=True)
    age = models.CharField(max_length=15)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=15)
    username = models.CharField(max_length=15, unique=True)
    date_joined = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name="date joined", auto_now_add=True)
    last_login = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name="last login", auto_now=True)

    is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
    is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_superuser = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    USERNAME_FIELD = "username"
    REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['email','name','age']
    objects = SignUpManager()

    def __str__(self):
        return self.email

    def has_perm(self, perm, obj=None):
        return self.is_admin

    def has_module_perms(self, app_label):
        return True
#migrate --run-syncdb in case no work

You have got error in the signup method in views.py. Refer to this code and see what changes can be made.

# method for registration page
def register_view(request):
register_form = AddUserForm(request.POST or None)

# if the data provided in the form is valid than save the form 
if register_form.is_valid():
    user = register_form.save(commit=False)
    user = register_form.save()
    raw_password = register_form.cleaned_data.get('password1')

    user = authenticate(request, email=user.email, password=raw_password)
    group = Group.objects.get(name='Student')
    user.groups.add(group)
    if user is not None:
        login(request, user)
    return redirect('login')

return render(request, 'apps/register.html', {'register_form': register_form})
