matching query does not exist - Django

I am working on a registration page. I extended django's User model to add additional fields. I have two forms connected with OnetoOnefield. I am getting this error.

DoesNotExist at /register/
Influencer matching query does not exist.

I think what I am doing wrong is creating User and Influencer model at the same time.

My models.py file:

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from django.dispatch import receiver


class Influencer(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    bio = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
    ig_url = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return f"{self.user.first_name} {self.user.last_name}"


@receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def create_influencer(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    if created:
        Influencer.objects.create(user=instance)


@receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def save_influencer(sender, instance, **kwargs):
    instance.influencer.save()

My forms.py file:

class UserForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'email')


class InfluencerProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Influencer
        fields = ('bio', 'ig_url')

My views.py file:

def register(request):
    user_form = UserForm()
    profile_form = InfluencerProfileForm()

    if request.method == 'POST':
        user_form = UserForm(request.POST, instance=request.user)
        profile = Influencer.objects.get(user=request.user)
        profile_form = InfluencerProfileForm(request.POST, instance=profile)
        if user_form.is_valid() and profile_form.is_valid():
            user_form.save()
            profile_form.save()
            messages.success(request, 'Your profile was successfully updated!')
            return redirect('settings:profile')
        else:
            messages.error(request, 'Please correct the error below.')

    return render(request, 'accounts/register.html', {
        'user_form': user_form,
        'profile_form': profile_form
    })

I think the problem is in two places. One, you have a signal which creates Influencer instance where you al. Second, you are assuming you will have a Influencer instance before creating one. You can remove the signals and try with the following code:

def register(request):
    user_form = UserForm(request.POST or None)
    profile_form = InfluencerProfileForm(request.POST or None)

    if request.method == 'POST':
        if request.user.is_authenticated:
            user_form = UserForm(request.POST, instance=request.user)
            try:
                profile_form = InfluencerProfileForm(request.POST, instance=request.user.influencer)  # due to OneToOne relation, it will work
            except:
               pass
        if user_form.is_valid() and profile_form.is_valid():
            user = user_form.save()
            profile = profile_form.save(commit=False)
            profile.user = user
            profile.save()
            messages.success(request, 'Your profile was successfully updated!')
            return redirect('settings:profile')
        else:
            messages.error(request, 'Please correct the error below.')

    return render(request, 'accounts/register.html', {
        'user_form': user_form,
        'profile_form': profile_form
    })
