Profile user meta data not reflected in Profile after backend update

  • I have set up a Custom form having several custom fields that are edited via the profile edit page.

    I have ran this sequence several times. The result is always the same.

    Verify that none of the fields are in the wp_usermeta table in the WordPress database prior to any save action.

    Bring up the Profile page and edit the values and click on Update and save to the database.

    Verify that all the fields were created in the wp_usermeta table in the database with the values entered on the Profile page. They all match.

    Run a routine (an oAuth2 authorization process) that grabs all new data and updates the exact same fields in the wp_usermeta table. All the meta keys are updated with the expected data.

    Go back into the Profile Page and all the data is as it was before. None of the changes are reflected. I have cleared browser data, looked for server caches, but no matter what, the data remains as it was on the original first save even though the data has clearly been updated in the wp_usermeta table.

    I can even delete all the fields from wp_usermeta that where created with the initial Profile Save via the Profile Page via Ultimate Member and still the original data that was saved during that initial save will be displayed. None of the data displays the field defaults, but the data that was saved during the original first save. Make sense?

    After the delete of these fields from wp_usermeta, and going back to the profile after a browser cache sweep and refresh, and hitting update, all the fields will once again be created in wp_usermeta with the data still in the form.

    What gives? Where is Ultimate Member extracting its data from? Is there something that needs to be cleared that I am not seeing.

    Final note, I set here and cycle over and over, Hit Update on Profile, data changes to what is in the Profile forms.

    Run the Authorization process, data in database reflects expected changes.

    Refresh profile, clear cache, still old original data, hit update, data in database changes to what is in the Browser.

    Repeat this as often as I want and the same results.

    Crazy!

    What I found to work was enabled and disabled the tabs on the settings page. Others followed with this and it seems to work.

    Just got to the settings tab “users” I think is that tab when it really should be labeled Profile, and disabled enable the “show” check boxes. This seems to be the “soft reset” UM needs.

    Profile user meta data not reflected in Profile after backend update

    Is there anyone at Ultimate Member that can provide and answer to this. What hook do I need to run to sync the back end update with where ever it is that UM gets the data to display in the Profile.

    This is not the same issue I brought up here:

    @ultimatemembersupport Can you provide some guidance here. I have narrowed this down to having to clear the UM Cache set up in the wp_options table for the um_cache_userdata field that I guess gets called via a UM update. Is there a hook I can call from code to clear the cache so it rebuilds if I update via a backend process?

    I found the solution is to disable caching under Settings . . . poof . . . problem seems to be fixed . . .
