user metadata is lost upon profile update

  • I created several user meta fields on this User Meta pro plugin. I use theme my login plugin, too. When I update user profiles using custom profile edit page, user meta data created in this user meta plugin are lost.

    I debuged the code and I found that if I changed profileUpdate() in umBackendProfileController.php, meta data weren’t lost.

    For example, this code below (in profileUpdate func).
    if( empty( $fieldName ) ) continue;
    if( empty( $_POST[$fieldName] ) ) continue; // added by me
    $userData[ $fieldName ] = @$_POST[ $fieldName ];

    Of course this modification prevents checkboxes to be unchecked at all.

    What’s the right solution I should take?

    (plugin version is 1.1.4 pro)

    This code was wrong.
    if( empty( $_POST[$fieldName] ) ) continue;

    This is better.
    if( !isset( $_POST[$fieldName] ) ) continue;
