Thank you for the reply. Like supton, I am also trying to find a way to allow users to update their email on the profile page.

On my website, the profile page is being used for contact info; mailing address, phone # and hopefully email. These fields are linked to the directory page, which myself and another admin use for member correspondence.

Here is where it becomes a problem… since the ‘E-mail address’ field can only be changed on the account page, it seems that my only option is to create a custom field for email on the profile page. Since I cannot use the meta key ‘user_email’, this custom field will not update the existing field ‘E-mail address’ on the directory or the email column on the WordPress user dashboard.

Additionally, whenever my members need to update their email, they would have to do so twice (once on the profile page to update a custom field in the directory, and again on the account page to update the email referenced for log-in and notifications).

Clearly, this is not ideal. Is there a way to manually edit the code to allow email updates on the profile page? I really want to avoid multiple email fields / making members go to 2 different pages to update contact info.

Disabling all of the plugins besides UM resolves the issue; it now requires admin approval after submission, as intended. So at least it isn’t a conflict with the theme.

Any ideas on an efficient way to identify the conflicting plugin? Or is the only option to re-activate one at a time and check functionality?

Other users described the same problem in this thread, but no solution was posted.
