Details
Membership preferences elicit errors when you try and change server paths upon migration of database from localhost to live server environment.
Changes do not stick, and you get an error that your original (local) server paths are not valid.
There is a workaround ‘hack’ to change the settings using Find and Replace utility.

Hi Matt, this is not a bug; the membership preferences form submits all of the details at once, so you would need to edit all server paths to the correct location when submitting that form - private message, avatar, photo, and signature server paths. |

OK so the reason for the errors is that I was trying to change server paths one at a time? |

Yes, that is correct, Matt. |

Hey Derek, I don’t know if this is related (it seems similar if not directly related) but also in General Configuration the change to my license details doesn’t stick either, it says ‘Preferences updated’ but it keeps the original info (and yes I am changing from the order number to the license number, and have checked it is correct). Sorry to be difficult, Matt |

Do you have error reporting enabled on this server, and display_errors On in the PHP environment? And check your config.php file too. Any values you may have placed there (or left from an upgrade) will override any database saved settings. |

I checked config.php, and that was the problem in reference to the license number. Thanks for the diagnostics. |
