Title: Split members fields not working Last modified: April 4, 2021 --- # Split members fields not working * Resolved [Toon Gerritsen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toon-gerritsen/) * (@toon-gerritsen) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/split-members-fields-not-working/) * Hi, * I would welcome advice about how to solve the following problem: I have a large form (>100 fields) that I would like to split in three parts, following the advice given on [https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1552-how-to-manage-profile-form-with-a-huge-quantity-of-fields](https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1552-how-to-manage-profile-form-with-a-huge-quantity-of-fields). I have created the 3 profiles and named them Profile 1, Profile 2 and Profile 3 as in the advice. I have added the 3 shortcodes to the UM user page. Next, I have tried to patch the 3 Profile pages by installing the plugin “Ultimate Member – Split profile form” But this does not work: The user page of a member does only show 1 of the profiles with no subtab for each profile form into the tab “About” and no changes to the link “Edit profile”. Do I need to add some coding or change some settings? * Much obliged, Toon Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Contributor [Champ Camba](https://wordpress.org/support/users/champsupertramp/) * (@champsupertramp) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/split-members-fields-not-working/#post-14291543) * Hi [@toon-gerritsen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toon-gerritsen/) * Sorry for the late response. * I’ve tried the steps in the link that you’ve provided above and it works on our end.

Also, could you please confirm that Profile 1, Profile 2, and Profile 3 are all Profile Form?

The subtabs do also not appear in the Settings -> Appearance -> Profile Menu. Does the member need to be of type subscriber? * Much obliged, Toon * [missveronica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/missveronicatv/) * (@missveronicatv) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/split-members-fields-not-working/#post-14294255) * [@toon-gerritsen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toon-gerritsen/) * I agree to your description this plugin code “Ultimate Member – Split profile form” does not deliver expected results in the “About” tab. * The first test in the code fails because `function_exists( 'UM' )` is false so plugin is never executed. I made the test by deleting the code and then WordPress stopped in the `if ( empty( UM()->classes['UM_Profile_Forms'] )` with a huge error trace. * I tried adding the plugin code to my child theme functions.php file and still no subtabs but now the code is executing and the `function_exists( 'UM' )` is true. * After adding some more code in the plugin code I got my three profile forms editable but not as subtab links but normal links in a line above the profile texts. * [missveronica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/missveronicatv/) * (@missveronicatv) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/split-members-fields-not-working/#post-14294502) * [@toon-gerritsen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toon-gerritsen/) * Renaming the plugin directory from the zip file name “profile-forms-master” to “um-profile-forms-master” and you must activate the plugin after the directory rename. * Now the plugin will load after Ultimate Member main plugin and the code executes with the links in one line above the profile text and still no subtabs. * Requires an extension to work with subtabs? * Thread Starter [Toon Gerritsen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toon-gerritsen/) * (@toon-gerritsen) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/split-members-fields-not-working/#post-14296913) * Hi [@missveronicatv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/missveronicatv/), * Following your advice did the trick! I needed to make another correction : the shortcode of the 2nd and 3rd Profile must not be listed on the User page. * Now my subtabs appear correctly below the About tab. * Thanks a lot, Toon * Plugin Contributor [Champ Camba](https://wordpress.org/support/users/champsupertramp/) * (@champsupertramp) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/split-members-fields-not-working/#post-14297178) * Hi [@toon-gerritsen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toon-gerritsen/) [@missveronicatv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/missveronicatv/) * Thanks for letting us know how you resolve the issue.
