Custom field content on user account tab cleared when password is changed
-
Hi UM-Support Team,
I have custom fields on the user account tab.
I added these fields using these lines in functions.php:
/**
* Add extra fields to user account tab
*/function showUMExtraFields()
{
$id = um_user(‘ID’);
$output = ”;
$names = array(‘salutation’, ‘first_name’, ‘last_name’, ‘company’, ‘job’);$fields = array();
foreach ($names as $name)
$fields[$name] = UM()->builtin()->get_specific_field($name);
$fields = apply_filters(‘um_account_secure_fields’, $fields, $id);
foreach ($fields as $key => $data)
$output .= UM()->fields()->edit_field($key, $data);
echo $output;
}add_action(‘um_after_account_general’, ‘showUMExtraFields’, 100);
/**
* Get content for extra fields in user account tab
*/
function getUMFormData()
{
$id = um_user(‘ID’);
$names = array(‘salutation’, ‘first_name’, ‘last_name’, ‘company’, ‘job’);foreach ($names as $name)
update_user_meta($id, $name, $_POST[$name]);
}
add_action(‘um_account_pre_update_profile’, ‘getUMFormData’, 100);`The fields are updated when a user updates his profile. So that seems to be working. Only when a user changes his password, all these additional fields are deleted while email and username remain unchanged. Somehow the password change process deletes all entries in custom fields.
I tried getUMFormData with other hooks like um_after_password_reset_fields, etc. but couldn’t manage to get it right.
Can you pls point me in the right direction to solve this riddle?
Thanks for your support.

thanks for responding!
I am using the code snippet exactly as shown in the link you sent me:
https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1770-extend-the-account-page-with-custom-fields
/** * Add custom fields to the main tab "Account" under the "E-mail Address" field. * Add this code to the file functions.php in the active theme directory. */ function um_account_custom_fields( $args, $shortcode_args ) { // Fields Meta Keys. $args .= ',birth_date'; $args .= ',country'; $args .= ',languages'; return $args; } add_filter( 'um_account_tab_general_fields', 'um_account_custom_fields', 10, 2 );Like I described in my recent post:
Strangely the fields birth_date, country, languages show up and are able to store data entered?? These fields are not in the UM default registration form nor anywhere else in my configuration.
In the meanwhile I realized that I have ACF Plugin installed, no configuration though, but maybe these are default fields that come automatically with the installation of ACF?
I thought that in order to have custom fields on the account tab, I need to add custom fields in UM registration form and then use some code like the one I’d been using when the problem came up with password change causing the loss of data in these fields.
My own fields don’t show at all when I use the code you pointed out with my own meta keys as defined in my UM registration form:
/** * Add custom fields to the main tab "Account" under the "E-mail Address" field. * Add this code to the file functions.php in the active theme directory. */ function um_account_custom_fields( $args, $shortcode_args ) { // Fields Meta Keys. $args .= ',salutation'; $args .= ',job'; $args .= ',company'; return $args; } add_filter( 'um_account_tab_general_fields', 'um_account_custom_fields', 10, 2 );Looking at the UM class-account.php file there is a test for UM pre-defined fields which are the only fields allowed in these account filters and custom fields are sorted out:
um_account_tab_privacy_fields um_account_tab_delete_fields um_account_tab_general_fields um_account_tab_password_fieldsThis code snippet adds custom fields to the main Account tab.
The truth is that this code snippet only adds UM pre-defined fields to the Account Tab.
https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1770-extend-the-account-page-with-custom-fields
You only update when there is data in the field and not when user is updating Another account tab like password.
The code snippet in documentation needs an update of the text.
