Im having a problem with Members on Expression Engine.

I have put on a fresh install, created and logged in as a member and visited:
http://www.site.com/index.php/member/edit_profile

But when I update any details and click ‘Update’ I receive the message:

The following errors were encountered
The action you have requested is invalid.
Return to Previous Page

This happens when I try and update anything in the profile. I can however update the member details when I’m logged in as the Super Admin but not the actual member.

I have tried reinstalling Expression Engine and still receive the error.

I haven’t added a .htaccess file and the modules installed are:
Channel
Comment
Email
Emoticon
jQuery
Rich Text Editor
RSS
Search
Statistics

Im lost and not sure if there is some setting in the Controll Panel or if there is a setting on the server that needs to be changes.

Thanks

I have the same issue on a login form on my site after upgrading to 2.7.2.  No clue where to start diagnosing.  The error occurs even when a blank form is submitted.

Have a look at this bug report https://support.ellislab.com/bugs/detail/19847

Essentially, you have to edit the member profile files.
To do so, make a copy of the directory “default”,
and rename it to something like “custom_theme”

Then select your new custom profile theme under
control-panel > members > preferences > default-theme.

replace all hard-coded form tags with a form declaration tag.

// old, replace
<form method="...">
//with new
{form_declaration}

(EE will now insert the required hidden XID for more ‘secure’ form processing).
