Found the solution for my problem (described above). I had the setting “Allow new registrations” set to “Only logged in users can create new blogs.”, which actually caused the 302 redirect. I changed the setting to “Only user account can be created.”, which in my case is the correct setup.
i have a similar problem. when i access the registration page at http://<somehostname>/register i get a HTTP 302 response code and a redirect to the start page.
i’m usingthe following setup:
– buddypress 1.1.2
– wordpress mu 2.8.6
i’m sure, that i followed the installation instructions correctly step by step. i double checked it. the only thing i changed is the theme. however, also with the default theme activated (which i haven’t touched) the issue remains.
