Afternoon – Unfortunately, I was not able to resolve it. I did try disabling all other plugins but it persisted. Since our site was a short-duration bidding auction, most of the members were already registered and the problem wasn’t as much of an issue going forward. I even used a plugin that monitors all mysql traffic (inserts, updates, deletes, etc.) but there was not one entry that would indicate an activation.
I don’t think the problem is isolated to the UM plugin. I haven’t figured it out yet.
