I am trying to: update a user profile using update_user_meta() but its not working. Please see screenshot. hidden link
I'm using the same keys, which are the types slugs... latitude and longitude. They both work fine within types_render_usermeta("longitude", array( "user_current" => true )); and types_render_usermeta("latitude", array( "user_current" => true ));

Hi Alex,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Assuming that these fields were created using our Types plugin, this would mean that the fields as stored in the database would have 'wpcf-' as a prefix to the slug.

What you can do is to prefix the names with the 'wpcf-' and it should start working.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
