I created a registration form for my site and included the following parameters in the users_controller.rb file in order to save the data entered into the corresponding fields in my database. For some reason, when I try to submit my created registration form, the console informs me that the name and surname are not allowed. Error:
Unproduced parameters: first name, last name
Registration is successful, and other parameters are entered into the database just fine; however, the firstname and lastname columns remain empty.
users_controller.rb
