I am at the point of desperation, and have looked at countless tutorials, stackoverflow posts, and can’t seem to resolve this issue. I want to create a custom User Model, but when I try to sign one up, i get hit with the Manager isn't available; 'auth.User' has been swapped for 'account.User' error. I have indeed specified the AUTH_USER_MODEL in settings.py. I believe I need to implement a User Manager, but I am apparently out of my depth with it.
