# 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.

 * [@missveronicatv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/missveronicatv/) following
   yesterday’s success of adding code and being able to edit fields… now users cannot
   save their profile update changes. Again… only custom fields are not saving. 
   They can be edited… but they don’t save. Reports from members today and tested
   on my profile in user mode.

 * [@missveronicatv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/missveronicatv/) thank 
   you for the support link. The issue is with custom fields only… previously (prior
   to code snippet) for editing and now for saving. UM standard fields function 
   normally. Custom fields do not save.

 * It’s easier today to find the UM bugs when we know the coding mistakes by UM 
   from yesterday.
 * This is the first quick fix for updating profiles.
    Add this code snippet and
   do a test.

 *     ```
       add_filter( 'um_can_edit_field', 'um_can_edit_field_bug', 10, 2 );
   
       function um_can_edit_field_bug( $can_edit, $data ) {
   
           $can_edit = true;
   
           if ( true === UM()->fields()->editing && isset( UM()->fields()->set_mode ) && UM()->fields()->set_mode == 'profile' ) {
       		if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
       			$can_edit = false;
       		} else {
       			if ( ! UM()->roles()->um_user_can( 'can_edit_everyone' ) ) {
   
                       if ( isset( $data['editable'] ) && $data['editable'] != 1 ) {
                           $can_edit = false;
                       } else {
       					if ( ! um_is_user_himself() ) {
       						$can_edit = false;
       					}
       				}
                   }
               }
           }
           return $can_edit;

 * [@missveronicatv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/missveronicatv/) that worked.
   Thank you. I’m holding breath every time I think it’s ok. Thankfully you are 
   really switched on with this! I don’t understand why there are no posts about
   this bug.

 * Are you using the second version of the code snippet?
 * I will also add this issue to the GitHub report now.

 * From the description of the “SiteGround Optimizer” plugin.
 * > Powerful object caching for your site. Memcached stores frequently executed
   > queries to your databases and then reuses them for better performance. It is
   > available only on SiteGround Environment.
 * Look at this Memcached feature for your time dependent restore of old database
   values
    when you saved an UM Form field and it was enabled for some hours updating
   and then was disabled for updating again.
