I was having trouble getting things to work until I installed a version on a subdomain (ysmwikiprofiles.petergayed.com instead of petergayed.com/ysmprofiles). Not really sure why this worked, but it did.
(If you’re interested, the main problem in my case was that people would register for the site, appear in the Users page of the WP-Admin, but not display in the Members page of the website itself. Moreover, once users registered, they were telling me that nothing actually happened—they would register and then be re-directed to the Home page without being recognized as “logged in.” Super frustrating!!)
