I’m working on setting up SSO on my community at [https://community.productivityguild.com](https://community.productivityguild.com) where my Wordpress site at [https://productivityguild.com](https://productivityguild.com) is set as the SSO provider. Everything appears to be working correctly for new user signups and for users who sign up for a Wordpress account manually. However, for imported users, I’m getting this error in the Discourse logs:

```plaintext
Verbose SSO log: Record was invalid: User

```

It’s true because the account already exists on the Discourse site. However from the looks of the error it is passing a new username over to Discourse with a 1 appended to it.

Wordpress debug logs don’t show anything out of the ordinary either. I’m not quite sure where to go with this one. @simon or others, have any suggestions?
