 * How can we add database tables to sync? I have several addon plugins for woocommerce
   and the tables are not showing up.

 * Any help would be appreciated

 * Hi Venturecore,
    All plugins you mention are commercial and I don’t have a license
   to any of them, unfortunately. So it’s hard for me to test.

 * If you could send me a zipfile of any of the plugins in a Direct Message, I’ll
   test and throw the files away afterwards.
 * Especially this plugin should indeed create custom user meta fields, so would
   be good to test:

 * Hi Venturecore,
    I did some testing.
 * SyncFields Plugin presents usermeta fields from plugins immediately after they
   have been first created.
    The issue is: Many usermeta fields are not created 
   once a plugin gets installed and activated, but only upon first use! So, SyncFields
   simply cannot present them as they do not exist yet 🙂
 * **Let me give an example to clarify:
    
   Once you install WooCommerce plugin, not
   much happens in the creation of fields in the usermeta table.
    Only once an actual
   order is placed for a product by a customer, the usermeta table gets populated
   with new fiels, such as: – billing_first_name – billing_last_name – billing_country–
   shipping_country Etc.
 * So if you want everything to work properly in the example of WooCommerce, the
   order of things is:
    – Install SyncFields plugin (you can also do this last) –
   Install WooCommerce plugin – Create a test customer – Create a test order SyncFields
   plugin now presents the new usermeta fields.
 * **In conclusion:
    
   Although I cannot test the other plugins you mentioned, I 
   suspect you have to start using the plugins with test customers before new usermeta
   fields are created in the database. Could you try and let me know if this fixed
   things?
 * Hope this helps!
 * Regards,
    PJFC
