It appears that the problem is related to David Persson's media plugin. https://github.com/davidpersson/media
In my model I commented out the call to his plugin and I can again add a user Previous code var $actsAs = array('Containable','Media.Transfer', 'Media.Coupler','Media.Generator'); New code var $actsAs = array('Containable' /* ,'Media.Transfer', 'Media.Coupler','Media.Generator'*/); I am using the same plugin successfully on different model and my $actAs array is exactly the same in both models. Does anyone know a reason why this plugin would work on one model and not another?
