Deleting a Column

    Hi,

    I hope you can help. I see the same thread over a year ago by somebody else. I like the plugin a lot. But I have an issue.

    I have created a new column and pressed save, but the “User Meta Field” didn’t exist – it didn’t say error or anything. So it has created a column, but there is no red cross to delete it. And you cannot hide it in the Screen Options. If you unselect it, it doesn’t disappear either before or after you press Apply.

    I have since gone into Custom Fields on WP and duplicated a working column and added the missing “User Meta Field”. And this column works properly. It has the red cross.

    But, I am stuck with the original column I made and cannot find a way to delete it.

    Is there any way in Theme Editor or another way to find it to delete? Because in the plugin setting it only shows an option to create a new one, and of course the red cross for existing one’s where this one doesn’t have it.

    This is probably what happened to in the other thread which someone made a year ago.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Hi, I’ve shared how it looks here

    If there is a way to find where these are stored maybe I could delete it somehow manually?

    Thanks

    To share more information on how this column was created. I copied and pasted the Column name into the second field, so I didn’t select one from the drop down when you start typing, as that id had not been created yet in the User profile.

    I think in a past version an error would occur if you tried doing this as the information didn’t exist. So it would stop the column being created.

    Is there anyway in WP to somehow update the “User Meta Field” for this existing column? to select or use any existing meta id so it then can be deleted.

    Thanks
