I have a custom user based on AbstractUser plus a UserProfile model as follows:

#common.models  from django.conf import settings  from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser, Group, UserManager  from django.db import models  from django.utils.encoding import python_2_unicode_compatible      @python_2_unicode_compatible  class User(AbstractUser):        objects = UserManager()        class Meta:          abstract = False

Dumb question. I'm assuming you've set AUTH_USER_MODEL to use your new user model?

Also, the Django contrib user model has a meta option for swappable, perhaps you need to set that since you are overriding the Meta class?

class Meta:

    abstract = False

    swappable = True

Your Meta could also inherit from AbstractUser.Meta. Or better yet, since abstract = False by default, just remove the entire Meta class and let the defaults reign.

I have seen several tickets where the devs are playing with this option, calling it a 'stealth new feature' and leaving it undocumented intentionally, but it has something to do with changing out the user model on existing projects.
