any error that might occur on new user registration... clear the error log... register new user... anything in there?

dont worry about the usergroup page... I have resolved that display issue...

So something is interfering with new member registration...  when you register, dont do anything afterwards... check the sfmembers table... is there an entry for the new user?  sounds like not...  which means the standard wp hooks are not getting fired for new member creation... which is quite odd since we know for a fact that wishlist does this...

also, we have special log in place for when a user visits the forum for the first time if the sfmembers entry for them does not exist it will be created... this is happening on your site...

so what is interfering with the registration?  unsure...  might be worth a quick test to disable your other plugins and try a registration.. same result?  if so, then switch to default wp theme and try again... still same result?  just trying to narrow down potential conflicts...

out of curiosity what is your wishlist setting for notifying admins about new registrations?

I thought you said if you registered a user and then visited the site with that user, the sfmembers entry and the usergroup membership got set up correctly upon visiting... I would expect this... did you not say that earlier?

This all continues to point to something interfering with the wp hook for new member creation... when wp creates a new user (from registration or admin panel), it fires the 'user_register' hook to tell plugins/themes that a new user was created...

Understand on live site - where a copy/mirror test site comes in handy... trying to think how to work around with limited options...

can you look and see if any other plugin or theme is using that hook? just search your wp-content/themes and wp-content/plugins for that string...

well, that is good news!
