 * Hi,
    in the last version, the user_meta filed “role” was used to store the users
   role. Has this changed since with the latest version of ultimate-member, this
   filed is not set anymore? Or is tis just a bug on my site?
 * Thx,
    Axel

 * Hi [@kranzl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kranzl/),
 * In the latest 2.0 version we no longer use community roles, we use native Worpdress
   roles.

 * Hi,
    can you please tell me in which field this can be found now? So far I have
   used:
 * $WP_role=get_user_meta($userid->ID, ‘role’, true);
 * Thx,
    Axel
