You are probably using a profile plugin that has not been upgraded to Elgg 1.7.

If that is so,  and as Elgg 1.7 was just released a couple of days ago, you are going to have to be patient about plugin updates as plugins are often managed by busy developers who have to prioritise paid work.

To add to Kevin's point, it would be helpful if the Elgg version too.

See this and this for information about how to fix the issue.

I just upgraded to 1.7 from 1.6.1

@casey, Is it possible for the average user to add the corrections that you identified in your post? If so, how?
