Not able to redirect to another page after clicking on submit button django

Question

• So, I have implemented a bit of post, get and update in the following code. After submitting the values into the database. The return redirect is not changing the page to UserProfile.html which in urls.py is user_profile
• Code

urls.py

path('user_profile', views.user_profile, name="user_profile"),

views.py

def edit_profile(request):
    try:
        # checking if the user exist in UserProfile through the logged in email id
        user_data = UserProfile.objects.get(emailID = request.user.email)
        # if request.method == "POST" and request.FILES:
        if request.POST.get('action') == 'post':
            name = UserProfile.objects.all()
            response_data = {}
            # user_img = request.FILES['user_img']
            name = request.user.username
            emailID = request.user.email
            phone = request.POST.get('phone')
            college_name = request.POST.get('college_name')
            branch = request.POST.get('branch')

            # response_data['user_img'] = user_img
            response_data['name'] = name
            response_data['emailID'] = emailID
            response_data['phone'] = phone
            response_data['college_name'] = college_name
            response_data['branch'] = branch
            # updating the current logged in user values
            user_data = UserProfile.objects.get(emailID = request.user.email)
            if(user_data.emailID == request.user.email):
                UserProfile.objects.filter(emailID = request.user.email).update(
                    name = name,
                    emailID = emailID,
                    phone = phone,
                    college_name = college_name,
                    branch = branch
                )
            return redirect('/user_profile')
    except UserProfile.DoesNotExist:
        name = UserProfile.objects.all()
        response_data = {}
        # creating new user
        if request.POST.get('action') == 'post':
            # user_img = request.FILES['user_img']
            name = request.user.username
            emailID = request.user.email
            phone = request.POST.get('phone')
            college_name = request.POST.get('college_name')
            branch = request.POST.get('branch')

            # response_data['user_img'] = user_img
            response_data['name'] = name
            response_data['emailID'] = emailID
            response_data['phone'] = phone
            response_data['college_name'] = college_name
            response_data['branch'] = branch
            try:
                # checking if the user exist
                user_data = UserProfile.objects.get(emailID = request.user.email)
            except UserProfile.DoesNotExist:
                # if the user doesn't exist create the user
                UserProfile.objects.create(
                    name = name,
                    emailID = emailID,
                    phone = phone,
                    college_name = college_name,
                    branch = branch
                )
            return redirect('/user_profile')
    else:
        # if the profile is already created fetch the values
        context = {
            'name' : user_data.name,
            'emailID' : user_data.emailID,
            'phone' : user_data.phone,
            'college_name' : user_data.college_name,
            'branch' : user_data.branch
            }
        return render(request, 'edit_profile.html', {'context' : context})
    return redirect('/user_profile')

• I have also tried the return HttpResponseRedirect. But that is also not working for me.

Add

from django.core.exceptions import ObjectDoesNotExist

change except

except ObjectDoesNotExist:

and remove "/" from redirect

return redirect('user_profile')
