To name some of the more likely possibilities:

• Jetpack
• Bad Behavior
• FV Antispam
• bbPress
• BP Xtra Signup
• Invite Anyone
• Network Latest Posts
• New Blog Defaults
• Welcome Pack
• WordPress SEO

I noticed after posting this yesterday that the form on the registration page (which works) is hard coded into the form, whereas the one on the `/blogs/create/` page is generated by the `bp_show_blog_signup_form();` function. Is it possible that the different functions that are run upon submission (on signup vs. blog creation) are be different enough to make this error occur?

…Maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree…

Thanks for your time,

For those of you interested I’ve found a temporary solution that works perfectly:

`// When a User Creates a New Blog, Force the Administrator Role (bbPress Bug Temp Fix)

function bp_fix_blog_role($blog_id, $user_id) {
add_user_to_blog($blog_id, $user_id, ‘administrator’ );
}
add_action( ‘wpmu_new_blog’, ‘bp_fix_blog_role’, 10, 2 );`

Just drop this bad boy in your `mu-plugins` folder and you’re good to go. If you want a different default role for your users, just set “administrator” to whatever you want (editor, author, etc.). The beauty of this function is that it runs immediately after the blog is created, so it will fix any issues you have during blog creation.
