You can only take en passent if you are 1700+. Players who are lower get to confused by it so lichess removed it.
WHA THE HECK? WHY?
Wikipedia says:
The en passant capture rule was added in the 15th century when the rule that gave pawns an initial double-step move was introduced. It prevents a pawn from using the two-square advance to pass an adjacent enemy pawn without the risk of being captured.

Man that is weird en passant is really not working.
@TKSBHMEASRonald You forgot about the Lichen rebellion of 1566. They said that en passant is bad. It ended in a stalemate and now, lichens play their own version of chess, separate from any other non-lichen competition...
@XXIstCentury yes did this guy try to do audio type on a phone or something and lichess is not a word and it thought he was saying lichens? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichen
I knew one guy who thought that if there was a white pawn on d6, and Black played ...e7-e5, then White could play d6xe6ep.
Perhaps the OP tried such a move and was annoyed that it didn't work.
