Can no longer edit 'Personal Information' ie all additional profile fields.

I tried disabling most of my modules without luck. Why would my profile fields just give out like that? Any ideas?

Help very appreciated!

I upgraded to 5.3 today... but I was also adding modules and mucking around with the site for a while before I noticed that the profile fields I created had disappeared.

Maybe check if your tables are utf8 or latin1 or else

You can do this by downloading your database from phpmyadmin just for Profile_fields and Profile_values

Also check your logs to see what type of errors

If it has something to do with utf8/latin1, the Drupal error logs will register something like
`Illegal mix of collation...'

Thanks guys! I discovered some bad code in my template.php related to secondary tabs. It took some doing, but I managed to fix it.

I'm pretty sure this is the #1 source of this problem. Anyone who stumbles onto this, check your theme variables and secondary tab code.

That was my problem too. Here was the problem in my template.php. It was a hold over from the garland template that I was modifying. I don't actually know what changed between 5.2 and 5.3 that caused this to stop working. It worked fine in 5.2, but custom profile categories disappear after an upgrade to 5.3. Anyone have an explanation?

function phptemplate_menu_local_tasks() {
   $output = '';

   if ($primary = menu_primary_local_tasks()) {
      $output .= "<ul class=\"tabs primary\">\n". $primary ."</ul>\n";
   }

   return $output;
}

All I did was delete this function and category profiles appear as normal.

I think it appeared twice in mine, and I deleted one of them.
