@modemlooper I ditched as many of the option tables as I could find, it didn’t solve the problem. I was wrong about it being a database problem it seems. Thank you — I found a solution for me; hopefully it hepls other users

@valuser – I figured out a very simple solution that completely saved my website this morning, try it out: on the sidebar where buddypress came with the built in login widget (top right of your sidebar), you’ll notice “Please create an account to get started”.. For me, this link takes you to yoursite.com/register-2/

register-2 being the slug for my registration page

.. If you try to sign up in here there are 0 issues across the board.

So I went into my wordpress – settings – reading and removed “registration” from my homepage and instead made a static homepage “start” which contains a brief about my website, a link (Sign Up Here) that takes you to yoursite.com/register-2. and the shortcode for login

(I found the login shortcode can be found here http://justintadlock.com/archives/2011/08/30/adding-a-login-form-to-a-page).

You don’t have to go about it the same route I did, but short and sweet do not use the registration page you created for buddypress as your home page.. add the SLUG to your website url.. yoursite.com/slug (probably register or registration). problem solved.

Let me know how that goes.

I am also having the same issue. I am served on Bluehost pro using the most current WP and BP. Registration seems to come and go randomly, I have tried deactivating EVERY plugin to no avail. I also deleted the buddypress plugin, deleted its folder, then re installed it fresh: same problem

I can register in google chrome on my computer, but not in IE or Firefox. Other folks are reporting the same problem, including google chrome on certain devices. My new website is now at an absolute standstill because of this. I just can’t seem to remedy the situation.

Found a solution to 1:

/ Filter wp_nav_menu() to add profile link
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_profile_link' );
function my_nav_menu_profile_link($menu) {      
        if (!is_user_logged_in())
                return $menu;
        else
                $profilelink = '<li><a href="' . bp_loggedin_user_domain( '/' ) . '" rel="nofollow">' . __('My Profile') . '</a></li>';
                $menu = $menu . $profilelink;
                return $menu;
}

I have one more question involving it though, is there a way to change this to display the users name instead of the “my profile” I added? Also, the link showed up as the very last item to the right of all my other category/page links defined in the “Primary Menu” I created. I want it to be the very first on the left, how do I do that?

Thanks!

Thank you Peter! I am in a hurry to go hit the holiday festivities and will try to use your script later, I’ll let you know how it goes.

Merry Christmas to you as well!
