Can't change user email address ("already taken" error)

Hi everyone,

When trying to change a user's email address in FluentCommunity — either from the admin side or from the user's own profile — I get this error:

"Email address already taken by someone else."

The email I'm trying to use is brand new and not associated with any existing account.

The only workaround I found is to change the email directly in the WordPress user account. It works, but it's not a viable solution for my users since I don't give them access to the WordPress backend. I want to keep things simple for them.

I've already submitted a support ticket, but curious if this is a known issue or if someone found a workaround.

Thanks!
