Django CreateView Object could not be created because the data didn't validate

Good day.

I'm trying to create a object based on form input, i tesed out the data, everything is provided but, for some reason the form is not validated.

I've also tried overriding form_valid(self,form) but the problem with that method was django never went to it as if it didn't exist.

forms.py

class CreatePostForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Post
        fields = '__all__'

views.py

class CreatePost(CreateView):
    form_class = CreatePostForm
    template_name = 'dashboard/add-product.html'

    # success_url = redirect('user_posts:post_detail')

    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        form = CreatePostForm(request.POST)
        if self.form_valid(form):
            post = form.save(commit=False)
            post.user = request.user
            post.save()
            return redirect('user_posts:post_detail', args=post.slug)
        print('AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA')

code in the template is basic form, not gona import it.

data that has been passed via request.POST

user    

'b8a3b0b3-0eef-48ed-b257-a6f9bfdd5cda'

title   

'theetitle'

main_description    

'agdgdfg'

slug    

''

main_image  

'Bucee_Lee_smile.jpg'

subtitle1   

''

sub_description1    

''

sub_image1  

''

subtitle2   

''

sub_description2    

''

sub_image2  

''

subtitle3   

''

sub_description3    

''

sub_image3  

''

total_likes     

''

traceback points to this line

    if self.form_valid(form):

try the following way

class CreatePost(CreateView):
    form_class = CreatePostForm
    template_name = 'dashboard/add-product.html'
    success_url = ('url_name')

    def form_valid(self, form):
        valid_data = super(CreatePost, self).form_valid(form)
        form.instance.user = self.request.user
        return valid_data
