1. Regarding

How can i redirect to

Based on the answer from https://stackoverflow.com/a/20143515/4992248

# settings.py:
ACCOUNT_ADAPTER = 'project.your_app.allauth.AccountAdapter'

# project/your_app/allauth.py:
from allauth.account.adapter import DefaultAccountAdapter

class AccountAdapter(DefaultAccountAdapter):

  def get_login_redirect_url(self, request):
      return 'request.user.username'  # probably also needs to add slash(s)

Would be better to use get_absolute_url, ie return 'request.user.get_absolute_url'. In this case you need to do:

# 1. Add `namespace` to `yoursite/urls.py`
urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ...
    url(r'^(?P\w+)/', include('userapp.urls', namespace='profiles_username')),
)

# 2. Add the code below to the Users class in models.py
def get_absolute_url(self):
    # 'user_profile' is from the code shown by catavaran above
    return reverse('profiles_username:user_profile', args=[self.username])

2. Regarding

show the correct template

catavaran wrote correct urls which leads to views.profile, so in view.py you need to write:

from django.shortcuts import render

from .models import UserProfile  # import model, where username field exists
from .forms import UserProfileForm  # import Users form

def profiles(request, username):
    user = get_object_or_404(UserProfile, username=username)

    return render(request, 'home/profiles.html', {'user_profile_form': user})

In template (i.e. profiles.html) you can show user's data via {{user_profile_form.as_p}}
