Reply To: How to restore Xprofile field group
though you found the answer yourself ! […] using my own group ID number.
If the function is still in your bp-custom with the modified group ID, it continue to be applied to that group despite you changed the fields status. The group ID is still the same.
But you say you removed the function ? So there is no reason that a group stays under influence of an unexisting function. Do you use a cache plugin ? Clear it or unsure your browser doesn’t store an old cookie. Refresh it (F5) You could also check the existing field settings.
