Answer 1

Somewhere (in code you haven't included, views.py most likely) you are trying to filter or query the User model over the field is_active. However that field doesn't exist on the model, it's a property of the model, and so can't be resolved.

Read the error message and it tells you exactly this:

Cannot resolve keyword 'is_active' into field.
Choices are: active, admin, email, full_name, id, image, last_login, logentry, password, post, staff, timestamp

Those are the fields on User and consequently those are the fields available for querying over that model.

So, make sure the in arguments being passed to the query (wherever that is happening) uses active instead of is_active and it should succeed.
