XF 2.2 Registration stuck in a loop

[VladiD]

Heya!

Since this past weekend, out of nowhere, our forums' registration routine stopped working. When submitting the username/password/email/captcha/terms-check, the registration loops back to the /login/register page with blank fields.

There were no changes to the server software versions, or addon updates.

I have tried to

• disable (most) add-ons
• checked config file and removed the Memcached setting
  • Memcached had not been running for a while, yet the forum worked fine for weeks/months
• checked the error log for entries, but nothing there related to signups

I am truly stumped. Where else could I be digging for answers?

Disabling add-ons through the admin panel doesn’t always guarantee they are fully unloaded, so the best approach is to disable them through the config.php file:

$config['enableAddOns'] = false;

Also, I noticed you didn’t mention testing with the default XenForo style. Please switch to that style to rule out any issues caused by style modifications.

To ensure caching is disabled, add this line to config.php:

$config['cache']['enabled'] = false;

Finally, make sure you test in incognito mode to avoid any interference from old cookies.

Let me know how it goes or if you encounter any issues!

Thank you! Disabling the cache did it!

Has anybody else run into this same issue and found a solution that doesn't involve disabling Memcached?
