How to link to other user's profile in django?

Question

What I have been trying is to click the post's author(the user that created the post) I want it to redirect me to that user's profile, for example in Instagram when you click the user that is on top of the post-it redirects you to their profile. Every time I do that instead of seeing the post's author profile I see the logged in user profile. I think there is something wrong in the views.py file or in the base.html.

views.py

    def profile(request, pk=None):
        if pk:
            user = get_object_or_404(User, pk=pk)
        else:
            user = request.user
        args = {'user': user}
        return render(request, 'profile.html', args)

    def home(request):
        created_posts = Create.objects.all().order_by("-added_date")
        return render(request, 'base.html', {"created_posts": created_posts})

    def create(request):
        if request.method == 'POST':
            created_date = timezone.now()
            header1 = request.POST['header']
            content1 = request.POST['content']
            user = request.user
            created_obj = Create.objects.create(added_date=created_date, title=header1, content=content1, user=user)
            created_obj.save()
            print('create created')
            return redirect('home')
        else:
            print('create not created')
            return render(request, 'create.html')

models.py

    class Create(models.Model):
        added_date = models.DateTimeField()
        title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
        content = models.CharField(max_length=200)
        user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='user', on_delete=models.CASCADE, default=1)

    class Profile(models.Model):
        user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
        image = models.ImageField(default='default.jpg', upload_to='profile_pics')

    def __str__(self):
        return f'{self.user.username} Profile'

urls.py

    urlpatterns = [
        path('', views.home, name='home'),
        path('profile', views.profile, name='profile'),
        path('profile//', views.profile, name='profile_pk'),
        path('create', views.create, name='create'),
    ]

profile.html (shows user's profile)

    {% extends 'home.html' %}
    {% block body%}
    
      
        
        
          {{ user.username }}
          {{ user.email }}
        
      
    
    {% endblock %}

base.html (shows all user's post with the user's username)

    {% extends 'home.html' %}
    {% block body %}
      
        {% for created_post in created_posts %}
        {{ created_post.title }}
          {{ created_post.user }}
          {{ created_post.content }}
          
            
              
            
          
          
            Edit
          
             
       {% endfor %}            
     
     {% endblock %}

home.html (navbar that shows the loged in user)

    

    
      
        
      
      
      
        
          
            Home (current)
          
          
            profile
          
          
            Pricing
          
        
        
          {% if user.is_authenticated %}
          
              
                  New post
              
          
          
            
              {{ user.username }}
            
          
          
            
              Logout
            
          
          {% else %}
          
            
              Login
            
          
          
            
              Register
            
          
          {% endif %}
        
      
    
  
  {% block body %}

  {% endblock %}

In your base.html file change

{{ created_post.user }}

with

{{ created_post.user }}

Because, you must pass id of post owner to your view. When you use only user, django detect authenticated user object.
