New Users can't register

Im using WordPress 4.0 running MesoColumn theme with BuddyPress 2.1.1 and have “Anyone can register” enabled.

Ive been working on a web site for about a month or so and im now testing out some of the BuddyPress functions before I start telling everyone about the site. The first thing i tested was registering for an account with my site so i could see how things might work as a user. I clicked register and it took me to the page that i had indicated in the BuddyPress page settings just fine. I then filled in the information in the fields that are generated by BuddyPress. After i click the button to submit my information the page went white and still had the same link as the registration page in the URL address box. I checked the “Manage Signups” area in my dashboard and there was no pending accounts. Any ideas as to what i could be doing wrong or might not have set up correctly?

Try deactivating all plugins and then check if this issue still continues.

Explanation:
Mostly it happens if some plugin is interfering in registration process because the way BuddyPress registers a user is a bit different then what happens in WordPress by default for which usually plugins are designed.

Well I deactivated all my plugins (with the exception of the buddypress plugin) and then tried to create and new account as a user and it worked. No white screen.

So then I thought id activate my plugins one at a time and see at what point would I get the white screen again after submitting the sign up page. Well I didn’t. All my plugins are back to being active again and I can still sign up as a new user. Not sure if it has to do with the order in which plugins are installed and activated or what but it seems to work now.
