    2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install?

    7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?

    8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones?

    10. Have you modified the core files in any way?

    Hi @betro99

    Sorry you have this issue after upgrading. If you go in Settings > BuddyPress > Page are the registration and activate page set ? If you go in Settings > General > Anyone can register is activated ?

    Yes, registration and activate pages are set, and anyone can register is checked.

    I have now

    • deleted 2.2.0 and all of my custom functions
    • re-installed 2.1.1
    • deleted and recreated the Register and Activate pages

    and it’s still not working. Is there something in the database I need to delete to get a clean install of a Buddypress that has a functioning registration?

    Aha! I switched to the Twenty Fourteen theme to see if there could be a theme conflict and it revealed a required registration field that was hidden with CSS. So registration is indeed working.

    I had hidden the primary field in the Profile Details on the User Profile page because I didn’t want it editable once they had registered. I didn’t realize that it also hid the field on the Register page, and it is a required field.

    Total derp move, but I figured it out. Upgraded to 2.2.0, added my custom functions back in, all good. Thanks for your help 🙂
