I am trying to send my funds from bisq to an electrum wallet and keep getting a prompt that says: “The address is not correct. Please check the address format.” I don’t understand the problem as I have sent funds this way before and never had an issue.

Does anyone know a way to fix this?

Bisq only accepts addresses starting with a 1 (p2pkh) and starting with a 3(p2sh).

Thanks for the help, I made a different wallet that can receive the funds.
