# Additional wp_usermeta table fields not pushing

 * I’ve selected several fields in the “Additional wp_usermeta Table Fields (For
   Developers)” section of WP Fusion Lite’s Contact Fields page, which have been
   added by the Ultimate Member plugin (e.g. phone_number, full_name, list) to push
   to fields in Mailchimp when a new user registers, but the logs show that they
   aren’t being pushed (only the core contact fields at the top of the Contact Fields
   page are listed as being pushed to Mailchimp). Looking at the logs, it is as 
   if the fields in the “Additional wp_usermeta Table Fields” aren’t checked at 
   all, as they don’t appear anywhere in the logs.
 * I’ve tried with the “Push All” option on the Advanced page checked, but that 
   hasn’t resulted in any change. I also have verified that the additional metadata
   fields for the user are populated via a metadata viewer plugin. Is there something
   I am missing or is there a compatibility issue?

 * I’ve also tried registering a new user with “Activate API Queue” unchecked with
   no change. The Ultimate Member fields appear and can be selected and mapped to
   Mailchimp fields on the Contact Fields page of WP Fusion, and then they just 
   aren’t pushed to Mailchimp (even though I do have “Push” to “Sync profile updates
   and custom field changes to the user’s contact record in Mailchimp” checked on
   the General Settings page of WP Fusion) when a new user registers (via the Ultimate
   Member registration form, of course). Very confused, since Ultimate Member is
   listed as a compatible plugin and its fields do appear in WP Fusion.

 * Hey [@hastibe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hastibe/) 🙂
 * WP Fusion Lite only officially supports the WordPress “core” fields like first_name,
   user_email, user_login, etc. With other profile plugins like Ultimate Member 
   they’ll sometimes work, but it’s hit or miss.
 * Generally with the “additional fields”, if they’re enabled they will sync at 
   at the time of registration (or profile update) if enabled field IDs are present
   in the POST’ed user data that’s sent with the rest of the registration form.
 * For example, for phone number, you’d need to make sure you have an `<input type
   ="text" name="phone_number"/>` present on the form alongside the email and other
   registration data.
 * Off the top of my head, Ultimate Member was a tricky integration because the 
   field names are unique to each form ID… so instead of `name="phone_number"` you’d
   see something like, `name="um_1_04"`. There was also some complexity with form
   field validation, forms requiring approval, AJAX (i.e. background submitting)
   forms… and a few other things. It took about four years to get right 😅
 * Unlike the WP Fusion Lite, the full version of WP Fusion does have official compatibility
   with Ultimate Member ([https://wpfusion.com/documentation/membership/ultimate-member/](https://wpfusion.com/documentation/membership/ultimate-member/)),
   and about 150+ other plugins. Basically we’ve gone through the suffering for 
   you to make sure that field detection and sync is automatic no matter what type
   of form, field, or how your registration flow is set up.
 * So it’s not that WP Fusion Lite is specifically incompatible with Ultimate Member,
   it just doesn’t have any special treatment for Ultimate Member. The full/paid
   WP Fusion has (checking….) an extra 848 lines of code specifically to handle 
   all that UM wierdness 🙂
 * Best
    Jack
