 * I tried embedding a form onto a page using the shortcode from the help drop down.
   On the page all I get is a submit button and 3 hidden fields. I also don’t see
   any of the metafields on the user profile page either. Is there anything I could
   be missing?

 * Look in the User Meta Manager settings tab under _**HTML Markup**_ to see if 
   the default markup is missing.
 * If the HTML Markup fields are empty, try deactivating and reactivating the plugin.
 * After reactivation, the HTML Markup fields should be populated with default values
   and your form should then work.
 * Be sure you’re using version 3.0.0 or higher, because there was a bug in v2.9.9.
 * Let me know if this fixes the issue.

 * The default HTML markup is as follows –
 * **HTML Before:**
 *     ```
       <h3 class="umm-custom-fields">[section-title]</h3>
       <table class="form-table umm-custom-fields">
          <tbody>
       ```
   
 * **HTML During:**
 *     ```
       <tr><th>[label]</th><td>[field]</td></tr>
       ```
   
 * **HTML After:**
 *     ```
       </tbody>
       </table>
       ```
