 * Hi there,
    Is my first time using this plugin and looks great but so far I haven’t
   managed to save the settings. Anything I change on the settings just go back 
   to what it was. I have disabled my WP Rocket just in case could be an issue but
   stays the same. any ideas?

 * I’ve seen this a couple of times where the site (usually htaccess) file is forcing
   a trailing slash to the site URL breaking REST API endpoints (which the plugin
   uses to save settings).
 * I’m investigating a long term fix, but the short term hack is to temporarily 
   remove that setting (maybe in WP Rocket), save WP User Manager settings and turn
   back on.

 * I’m seeing a similar problem.
 * From what I can tell, no slash is being appended to the request. When I watch
   the network events I can see e.g., a call to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=
   wpum_update_fields_order and that call comes back with a 200 status. On the screen
   I can see that the field I dragged is in the correct order. But when I refresh
   the page, the field jumps back up to the top of the form. Like the re-sequencing
   didn’t actually save to the API.
 * Any ideas?

 * Note that some settings are indeed saving. Like I can make fields required and
   stuff like that. But other settings like dragging and dropping sequence of fields
   in the form are not saving.

 * Can you edit your wp-config.php file to replace this line –
 * define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, false );
 * With these lines –
 * define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
    define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true); define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’,
   false);
 * This means that any errors are logged to `/wp-content/debug.log’, because some
   errors are not visible on screen.
 * More details about that at [http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Debug](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Debug)
 * Can you then retry the process and send me the debug.log file that should be 
   created.

 * The site in question is hosted on wordpress.com so I don’t think I can edit wp-
   config.php??
 * Note that this is paid account so if you prefer we can switch to email for this
   diagnosis … let me know.

 * hey [@quitoxic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/quitoxic/) I’ve just released
   WP User Manager v2.3.10 with this fixed.
    ​ ​Let me know how it goes.

 * I just tested v2.3.10 and what’s interesting is that changes I made earlier are
   now appearing. I’m wondering if something’s getting cached maybe.
 * But changes I’m making now don’t appear to be taking effect. They’ll probably
   show up later, I’m guessing.
