    Hi there, even though the default value has been set to none, the setting is not saved, and a default value is displayed in the custom profile fields during registration.

    This is a problem, specially with non editable fields like the Single Member Type field type.

    Profile field default value none setting:

    After updating:

    Also a problem with the drop down select box

    Profile field default value none setting:

    After updating a default value has been selected anyway:

    Why are the default values not saved?

    I noticed that the members types default value “Mand” (Man) is not registred correct as Member Types Man.

    I have associated the user role Contributor to Member Types Man, but this is not assigned.

    Instead the user gets assigned the New User Default Role (subscriber).

    It’s a problem that new users pr default is assigned the Member Types “Man” and the user role subscriber.

    Is this a bug with Member Types Pro working with Custom Profile Fields?

    Regards

    This is an urgent issue, since member types and associated roles are messed up.

    Why is the Single Member Type (and other custom fields) default value not saved?

    Hi Carsten,
    Please do provide access to your site. I tested and the default values are saved and applied. Probably something on your site is conflicting and causing it. Have you tried it on a staging site with a different theme?

    Hi Brajesh, I tested with Twenty-Twenty-Two, with same result.

    Can I mail you the credentials to my site?

    Hi Carsten,
    Thank you for the mail.

    I had a look at the site. There is definitely something interfering on your site. I changed the default value to the second one “kvinde”. It is still showing “mand” on profile field lists/registration page but on the profile field edit page in the admin(Users->Profile Fields->Edit) it shows the correct value selected.

    I need to disable some of the caching plugins and others to find out the issue. May I do it there or do you have any staging site for the purpose?

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Hi Carsten,
    Thank you.

    your issue is persistent cache. You have some plugin/utilities active(either by you or your hosting provider) that provides persistent object caching. I checked the value for

    
wp_cache_get( '0:4749', 'bp_xprofile_data' )

    and it is set to ‘male’. To be honest, this is partially a bug in BuddyPress where it should have checked for availability of a valid user id before checking cache.

    This is causing the issue. I will be posting on BuddyPress trac about this shortly. I am still not sure how the value for this was set in the cache.

    Should I update the BuddyPress function to avoid checking the cache when user id is 0 on your server. This is probably causing issue with your other select/radio field as well.

    Regards
    Brajesh
