Hi,
When I delete a Custom Profile Field in the forum backend, it is not deleted from the wp_usermeta table. Is this normal and can I safely delete the field from wp_usermeta without messing up WP or the forum?
Thanks,
Leo

Certainly if you have deleted it and no longer wish to use it then removing it from users records in the usermeta table is the right thing to do.
As to why we are not doing that then I am not sure but I will open a ticket to get it tested and investigated and fixed up if this is the case. And apologies for this of course. I do know that the WordPress team often tinker with the core user-based routines and it is always possible we missed a change.
