Its definitely a problem within buddypress. I have gotten everything back to normal now. However the solution was weird. Even after I changed the settings back to “anyone can register” my registration page would not work and was simply showing like my homepage. Instead of the registration form it has most recent posts etc. After checking every option I decided to make all of my posts drafts instead of being published. To my amazement the registration page then turned back into its normal form. I then republished all the posts and things are back to normal. Except my search page will no longer link. It was basically not saving as the others weren’t. Finally i deleted the search page and decided to only use the search on my members page. I don’t use any of the plugins you suggested may be the problem. Luckily my site is still in the building stage and doesn’t have any users to make mad. Thanks everyone and have a great weekend!
I am having the same problem also. It was fine until I updated Buddypress. “The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Search Page. Repair” Is the homepage notification. I choose the pages and the settings do not save.
