Same problem here. Still cannot get past lower case requirement even after adding snippet above to functions.php. Aside from obvious fat-finger/typo issues to look out for, are there other things we should be careful of when adding the snippet above –e.g. template definitions sections etc?
Desha – good question. Paul – thanks for chiming in. What’s confusing, however, is that if I leave the “subscriber” role selected as the default for new users as part of the WP admin panel, a new user can still access the admin panel (and perform the normal Buddypress participation activities also). That said, if I select “blocked.” the user cannot see the /wp-admin console at all, but can still interact with the social/buddypress features …
Could you please provide some insight on why/how that happens?
