Problem Updating Profile Information error when updating extended member profiles

[devrap]

Using BP 1.7.2 and WP 1.5.1: when users edit their extended profile and click to submit, they receive this error:

There was a problem updating some of your profile information, please try again.

From this open ticket from 20 months ago using a considerably older version of BP, I got the idea to test for blank fields: ​http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3649 .

After testing, it looks like this does not occur when *all* extended profile fields are filled out. So it's occurring from null/unselected optional fields.

I don't see any other documentation on people experiencing this with BP 1.7+, any clue as to what may be happening here and how to resolve this?

Oof, anyone? Can we really be the only site having this issue in BP 1.7+?

Have you done additional experimentation to figure out which fields are causing the problem? We recently fixed a problem related to multiselect boxes that were labeled as Required; see ​https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2173. You might also try the 1.8 beta to see if that helps.

Linked to the wrong ticket. I meant ​https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4978
