 * It took me a while to get User Meta working on a new install. Eventually I realised
   that it HAS to be in a folder called user-meta. Obvious perhaps, but just in 
   case anyone else hits this. Many plugins can work in a folder that has their 
   version number for example, and do not mind different folder names when they 
   are updated.

 * User Meta plugin do work with different directory name. For instance, you can
   rename user-meta directory to user-meta1.1.0 or user-meta-custom. It will work
   too.
 * Thanks
