BuddyPress.org

OK, I figured the problem out but have no answer. After upgrade to wpmu 2.8.4a from 2.8.2 using buddypress 1.0.3, I noticed that when new users sign up, even though they apply for public privacy at the sign up page, when logged in, their blogs aren’t public, and as a test member, I have to go to settings >> privacy >> and choose a radio button for public privacy again, and afterward it works.

Seem to me the sign up page did not allow public privacy even though members wanted that option!

Any idea how to fix this?

New update: I couldn’t figure out what had gone wrong . This time around, I used a working database that was backed up before I had updated wpmu to 2.8.4.a, and bp before 1.0.3. Then I apply the working bp1.0.3 and working wpmu2.8.4a with that old database, and I ran the upgrade process in wpmu to synch the blogs — this done without any additional plugins and mu-plugins (all default). After all that work, I still got new sign up users cannot set correct privacy setting with the sign-up page. Instead, he/she must logged in, changed the privacy setting again to have everything works out. This sound like a template problem to you? Maybe the template is passing in the wrong sql call at the privacy portion? The funny thing is that this isn’t a problem with wpmu2.8.2 and bp1.
