NoReverseMatch at /edit_profile/ Reverse for 'profile' with no arguments not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['profile/(?P<username>[^/]+)$']

Question:

I am trying to build a blog website. In the profile update section I am getting this error.

NoReverseMatch at /edit_profile/ Reverse for ‘profile’ with no arguments not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: [‘profile/(?P[^/]+)$’]

I understand the error but I don’t know how to solve it. Please help me.

In your edit_profile view, you need to pass the username as parameter for the URL pattern, so:

def edit_profile(request, username):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        e_user = UserEditForm(request.POST, instance=request.user)
        e_profile = EditProfileForm(request.POST, request.FILES, instance=request.user.profile)
        if e_user.is_valid() and e_profile.is_valid():
            user = e_user.save()
            e_profile.save()
            messages.success(request, 'Profile Update successfull')
            #            pass username ↓               ↓
            return redirect('profile', username=username)
    # …
