AuthStateForbidden error when changing settings

[mehmetyildi]

The instructor got this error, after she registered and trying to change the settings.
She has user instance on the database but has no market settings which may mean she tried to change the settings that she has not created but this error does not make sense on that approach.
I could not reproduce the error myself. Still trying to figure out.

This is the error:

Hi @mehmetyildi ! Have you been able to solve this problem? I am facing the same problem with my wagtail - django website. Would love to know your insights

[mehmetyildi]

Hi @adsk2050. I would like to help out but this was a school project two years ago and as I recall the instructor hit the bug but I couldn't reproduce it. I haven't been using Django since that project. I tried to figure out the problem again but I couldn't manage because I didn't remember Django framework. But the link above can be useful.
Sorry about that. I hope you find the answer.

[adsk2050]

Thanks a lot for your response. I will let you know if I find out about the error.
