I have a site on 4.7.0 which has been using standard .net member controls fine for a few months. However, now the member group assignment seems to have stopped working. You can still register as a member but you're not automatically assigned to a member group any more. This was working until recently, and I can't pin down what might have changed to prevent it. The web.config setting (defaultMemberTypeAlias) is still set correctly, the user controls are the exact same ones which worked. The member group definitely still exists and has the same alias.
Can anyone think what else to check, or suggest a way to debug this?
MediaProtect has been installed recently but I can't establish a firm date for when this stuff stopped working to see if it's related. Clearly that package does work with members, so it's not beyond the realms of imagination that the issue could be related, but I don't see how it would be preventing member group assignment in the registration user-control.
I just had the same problem - creating new members form Umbraco gave the error you are describing, while some old member worked perfectly, when assigning group memberships.
It turned out to be mandatory property fields for the new member I was missing. So try and fill out all fields and see, if this solves the problem.
I install nForum package, it creates a 'ForumUser' member group. When I want to assign this Member group to a newly added member(Added from Umbraco UI) then this changes not save in database and no error shown on page.
I added some member by code with 'ForumUser' member group, in this case it saved this member group value.
Member group assignment suddenly not working

Hi Dan,
Just out of curiosity, have you installed any packages since it worked? :-)
Thanks!
