Just found out another important fact today, this site was moved from Joomla over WordPress way before I’ve started to work on this project, so there is no more Joomla site for me to check the different database fields between Joomla and WordPress. The only thing that I’ve noticed is the members that are able to modify their profiles would have at least an extra fields in their wp_usermeta table. To be exact, they have value “submitted” in their “meta_key” field and a lot of data in “meta_value” field that is associated with that “meta_key” field.
What the differences between the database from Joomla and WordPress? What the good way that I can move or convert the data from these old members’ profiles to match with the new ones? Thanks.

After dig up some more, found that the database design was changed at some point. As the result, all old members had different database design and they can’t update their profile, even by admin. Please, let me know how these different database designs happened and how to fix this update profile issue. Thank you.

Hi,
If anyone has any idea, please reply. Thanks.
Basically, new users can update their profiles without any issue and auto redirect back to their profile page; however, old members cannot do it, either by the members themeselve or even through admin. Most people would stop to describe issue here but I’ve provided more info as posted above that older members are missing the Info field under their username as seen in the provided screenshots.
On the output page source, I notice the differences as follows:

On working page:

<section id="default" class="">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="content-wrapper">
            <div class="post-content">
              </div>
</div>
</section>

Then open this main section

<script src="http://developersite.com/wp-content/themes/maintheme/js/facebox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
      jQuery('a[rel*=facebox]').facebox({
        loadingImage : 'http://developersite.com/wp-content/themes/maintheme/images/loading.gif',
        closeImage   : 'http://developersite.com/wp-content/themes/maintheme/images/closelabel.png'
      })
    })
  </script>

<div class="mainProfileContainer">
    <div class="content">
        <div class="profileLeftBox" >
            <div class="donorPicBox">
                <div class="donorPicBoxTop">

<!-- Member profile content display here -->

<script> <!-- Long JQuery script here --> </script>

<section id="default" class="">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="content-wrapper">

</div><style type="text/css">
.um-624.um {
	max-width: 1000px;
}

On none-working page:

<section id="default" class="">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="content-wrapper">
            <div class="post-content">
                    <div class="um um-profile um-err um-editing um-624">

	<div class="um-postmessage">
		
				
	</div>
	
</div><style type="text/css">
.um-624.um {
	max-width: 1000px;
}

Notice that on the non-working page, it contains these 2 lines that I can’t find them on the working page

<div class="um um-profile um-err um-editing um-624">

	<div class="um-postmessage">

Please, let me know what happened here and what files/functions that I should check out. Also, when clicking on Update Profile button, what files/functions will be called? It would be even better if you can provide some scripts to correct this issue. Thanks.
