Form XX is not found.

[rbmg]

Hello Khaled,

Having 2 problems that I would appreciate your assistance with please:

1. In trying to resolve #2 I have deleted and created some new forms. Latest form will not show up on my profile page. I have only 3 forms. Name in shortcode matches saved name exactly. WHen I try to view the page I get Form “My_form” is not found.
I assume it is ok to have more than one user-meta form on a page? I am using 2 shortcodes to display them.

2. I am using another plugin (amr-users) to query and display user meta. This used to work fine on my custom fields created with user-meta-pro. However, I am now unable to select specific data in the custom fields that are not currently being displayed on the profile page. I suspect I have a corruption somewhere and solving 1 above may solve #2 but possibly not.

Do fields have to be visible on front end in order for them to be fully available to other plugins? They are populated with data and I can call them all up but I can’t select specific values.

I may resort to deactivating and deleting user-meta-pro and then reinstalling but I don’t want to lose my user-meta data defined against 50 users. Can you tell me exactly what gets deleted if I delete the plugin?

Thanks very much for your assistance. I like this plugin, it is a great solution!

Hello,

1. You can use several shortcode in a single page. And I believe “Form XX is not found” issue comes from your form name not matching, please check again or try to create a new form and assign in shortcode.

2. UMP stored all of the extra data to wp_usermeta table (WP standard), So every other plugin on your system can able retrieve those user’s data even if UMP being deactivated. So, there is no requirement to make the field visible on the front-end in order to use them by other plugin. You just need meta_key to retrieve users’s stored value.

Ohh one thing, amr-users try to find unique meta_key by looking on wp_usermeta table. Suppose, you have just created one extra filed with meta_key “xyz” by UMP, At this point UMP just store field configuration, not field data. When any user tries to store data in this field, then this field has some value to store. And it stores that value to the wp_usermeta table with meta_key “xyz”.

Reinstalling or updating UMP has no effect on your stored data. Every field, forms, settings, user data will be there.

Thanks.

Hi Khaled,

Thank you for your reply.

1. I copied the form name from the forms editor so I know it is correct.

2. Ok, understand but it doesn’t then give me any clue as to why I can’t select from these particular fields. I did change their field type from radio buttons to multi-select at one stage, but I went through and reentered all the data to ensure the values should be correct. Show that make any difference?

3. What if I delete plugin and its data? Do the wp_usermeta values remain? I am trying to determine what is conflicting here. amr-user developer Anmari imported all my amr-user and usermeta data and it worked fine for her, so there is something odd on my system.

I am still in dev so I can give you a login if you are happy to take a look – might help sort out #1 above?

Thanks again 🙂
