Exception Value: ModelForm has no model class specified.

Here's my code:

forms.py

from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from .models import Profile


class UserRegisterForm(UserCreationForm):
    email = forms.EmailField()

    # A class to specify the model the form is going to interact with
    class Meta:
        model = User

        # Fields wanted in the form and in what order:
        fields = ['username', 'email', 'password1', 'password2']


# A model form is a form that allows the creation of a form that will work with a specific database model
class UserUpdateForm(forms.ModelForm):
    model = User
    fields = ['username', 'email']


class ProfileUpdateForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Profile
        fields = ['image']

views.py

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.contrib import messages
from .forms import UserRegisterForm, UserUpdateForm, ProfileUpdateForm
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required



def register(request):
    # If it gets a POST request then it instantiates a user creation form with that POST data
    if request.method == 'POST':
        # Create a form that has the request POST data:
        form = UserRegisterForm(request.POST)

        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            username = form.cleaned_data.get('username')
            messages.success(request, 'Your account was created. You are now able to log in')
            return redirect('login')
    # With any other request it creates an empty user creation form
    else:
        form = UserRegisterForm()
    return render(request, 'users/register.html', {'form': form})


@login_required
def profile(request):
    userUpdateForm = UserUpdateForm()
    profileUpdateForm = ProfileUpdateForm()

    context = {
        'userUpdateForm': userUpdateForm,
        'profileUpdateForm': profileUpdateForm
    }
    return render(request, 'users/profile.html', context)

I've spent a couple of hours searching for similar questions here on stackoverflow but most solutions point to typos. I've thoroughly checked my code and I'm fairly certain I've spelled everything correctly and according to convention.

What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
