Django get_profile() method not working on extended User model

To anyone else that gets this error by following the old documentation, get_profile() has been depreciated in django 1.7.

Instead you can just access the userprofile from the user as below..

u_p = user.userprofile

where userprofile is the name of your UserProfile class

You can also change to use the newer documentation by clicking on the desired version in the bottom right corner
