Re: Django 1.5 custom User model error. "Manager isn't available; User has been swapped"

Hi,

You need to unregister `User` model from admin site before registering new one.

admin.site.unregister(User)
admin.site.register(CustomUser, UserAdmin)

Please have a look at http://stackoverflow.com/a/2270704/353550
