    Hello.

    i installed WP and after that BuddyPress.
    i also installed the plugin “WP piwik”

    now i want to use the registration-form of BuddyPress.
    so i created an emtpy page with the name Registration(lower-case in the permalink) and assigned it to the register-page in the BuddyPress Settings.

    i also allowed registration for all.

    the registration page behaves like this:

    the page opens if i click on “register”.
    i can enter all my data.
    after i click on submit, the browser sends a post and returns to the registration-page still having all the data, with both password-fields empty.
    the “manage singups” table is still empty.

    every new attempt ends the same way.

    i deactivated all plugins.
    i use wenty fourteen theme.

    don’t know what is wrong here..

    ah yeah.. i installed it on localhost:40080 since port 80 is already used by another application.
    path is d:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\…

    It’s interesting there has been two reports of this happening over the past week. The common ground seems to be localhost (you’re running Xampp and the second reporter is running mamp)

    i think i found my problem.

    in bp-core-functions.php there is this part:

    // Nonce check failed
    if ( empty( $result ) || empty( $action ) || ( strpos( $matched_url, $home_url ) !== 0 ) ) {
    $result = false;
    }

    i wrote $matched_url and $home_url to the log-file and TADAA
    $matched_url = http://localhost:40080:40080/wordpress
    $home_url = http://localhost:40080/wordpress

    Yes, twice the port in matched_url.
    This seems odd to me, can anyone say if it is correct this way, or if it is a bug?

    I just ionstalled BuddyPress on a Server without different Port and it works fine there.
    So i guess that is what causing it.
    What the bug is exactly, that i don’t know. but it has something to do with the port i think.

    The default port of HTTP/Apache is Port 80.
    Since this Port is already used on my computer i installed Apache on another port.

    URL then looks like: http://localhost:12345/
    where 12345 is the port i used instead of 80.
    if you use port 80 you don’t have to write ist, you just can write http://localhost/

    With any port other than 80 i had the problem described above.
    As soon as i switched to port 80 it worked fine.
