Title: profile forms uneditable (all permissions set to allow users to edit profile) Last modified: August 19, 2023 --- # profile forms uneditable (all permissions set to allow users to edit profile) * Resolved [alychef](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alychef/) * (@alychef) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/profile-forms-uneditable-all-permissions-set-to-allow-users-to-edit-profile/) * Serious issues across ALL my UM SITES since latest update… fields are going missing from front end profile forms (not for admin, only for users) and fields becoming uneditable for users for no reason. All permissions are set for users to be able edit. Once forms and fields re-updated in dashboard (I’ve done this 20 times on 2 sites since 2 days) they work and can be edited by user only temporarily… and then the fields are blocked again. This is across ALL my sites using UM. What’s happened? Does anyone else have this? I’ve checked for plugin conflcit and no resolve. This is really urgent. - This topic was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/). Reason: Decapped title, do not shout.

I’m exhausted and close to giving up. Everything was fine up til 2 days ago. I haven’t made any changes. Going through forms on back again… updating fields and retesting. Each works again… for a short time.

Have updated every single field in back end forms. I’ll see how long that lasts. If it remains without issue… the UM update version is likely the problem. Everything else has been checked for conflicts. - This reply was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by [alychef](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alychef/).
