@mercime as mentioned in my original post I’m running locally using MAMP. I’ve done 3 clean installs first deleting then redownloading & installing both WordPress & BuddyPress.
@mercime I’ve been having a little more of a dig around – if I look at the generated site code, the sign-up form has nothing set for the action attribute and I can’t find any JS script that would submit the form programmatically in place of that.
I’ve tested it out using invalid data and can confirm that it’s not reaching the signup validation script in the BuddyPress bp-members-functions.php file. I’ve not touched/edited the plugin files, just trying to figure out whether it’s getting where it needs to go.
@mercime I was originally using the TwelveFourteen theme and it wasn’t working then. I couldn’t see the bp_default theme but I kept coming across advice that said I needed to be using the BuddyPress default theme – managed to find it in the plugin files. I’ve just now switched back to TwelveFourteen (to make double/triple sure) but it still won’t work. The registration page just reloads with form inputs intact (other than the password).
Definitely logged out, have tried in latest versions of Safari, Chrome & Firefox, go to Register Page, fill in details, hit submit – page reloads with all bar password fields intact.
I’m not sure what further steps I can give you other than above. My latest install is clean, up to date, unless I’ve missed some glaring setup step but I’m sure I’ve followed the guides correctly. I’m totally stumped.
