FAQ

Do I need to know any coding to use this plugin?

No, we have built Ultimate Member to be extremely easy to use and does not require you to manually build shortcodes or have any coding knowledge.

Is Ultimate Member mobile responsive?

Yes. Ultimate Member is designed to adapt nicely to any screen resolution. It includes specific designs for phones, tablets and desktops.

Is Ultimate Member multi-site compatible?

Yes. Ultimate Member works great on both single site and multi-site WordPress installs.

Does the plugin work with any WordPress theme?

Yes. Ultimate Member will work with any properly coded theme. However, some themes may cause conflicts with the plugin. If you find a styling issue with your theme please create a post in the community forum.

Does the plugin work with caching plugins?

The plugin works with popular caching plugins by automatically excluding Ultimate Member pages from being cached. This ensures other visitors to a page will not see the private information of another user. However, if you add features of Ultimate Member to other pages you have to exclude those pages from being cached through your cache plugin settings panel.

Does Ultimate Member restrict access to wp-login.php when the plugin is active?

The plugin does not restrict access to the wp-login.php page when active, so that our plugin does not interfere with the existing functionality of a website or other plugins that may utilise the default login page. If you wish to restrict access to the wp-login.php page you can use a plugin such as WPS Hide Login or another plugin that removes the ability to login via wp-login.php.

Are Ultimate Member Login/Registration pages required?

No, you do not need to use our plugin’s login or registration pages and can use another plugin or the default WordPress methods for user registration and login.

Are additional PHP modules necessary for the plugin to work correctly?

No specific extensions are needed. But we highly recommended keep active these PHP modules: mbstring, json, dom, exif, gd, fileinfo, curl, iconv. wp-admin > Tools > Site Health page has a summary about your installation and required modules. All major extensions are listed here.

Inquiry About Implementing AJAX for Form Submission in Ultimate Member Plugin

chrissypeng September 26, 2024

I am currently using the Ultimate Member plugin on my WordPress site and looking to implement AJAX for form submission to avoid reloading the entire page upon form submission. I would like to achieve a smoother user experience where only the form is refreshed after submission, without impacting the rest of the page. I would be grateful for any documentation, examples, or guidance you could provide to help me implement this feature effectively. Thank you for your support. Best regards,

Making our job easier please

gwenm August 22, 2024

Hello and thank you for this plugin Why do plugin creators put so many restrictions, complications, we spend hours looking for tasks that should be accessible by default like just being able to display profiles without having to define roles here and there … I’d like a member plugin that displays profiles without having to spend hours trying to figure out how …… This is just a user opinion and I respect your work.

Deplorable and dismissive support to Nonprofit

jpm2f July 20, 2024

As the Founder of a wildlife conservation non-profit, I wrote to UM requesting details regarding possible services and support offered to non-profits. What I received was a dismissive response, not only informing us that UM do not offer such services or support to non-profits, but doing so in an unnecessarily adversarial manner. My email was polite. Our intent is to save endangered wildlife and ecosystems, not make what UM have chosen to interpret as some form of insult to UM. The UM reply was unnecessary, unwarranted, and rude. We will not be recommending UM to anyone. Our advice; think twice before choosing this team to work with. We will also be recommending another partner of ours, a payment gateway, who works with UM that, to protect their brand and reputation, they consider terminating their relationship with this UM. To UM – if this is your attitude to a simple enquiry from a wildlife conservation nonprofit, then frankly, you do not deserve to retain any customers or partners yourselves, with this approach to potential new business. We are used to being refused support. We are used to being insulted for what we do. However your attitude is one of the worst we have encountered for some time. You are a disgrace.

Unresponsive support, confusing/unadjustable Directory UX

drnwd6 July 15, 2024

If you are looking for a member directory that supports your members in search/sorting/filtering to find members based on specific criteria this plugin can do it – but it’s an ugly, un-intuitive, confusing and unalterable UX. I’ve submitted numerous tickets, never heard back. It seems impossible to make basic changes like having the text ‘More Filters’ appear anywhere near the actual filters. The keyword search box has light gray ‘instructional’ text that says Search, and the button next to it says Search – not only redundant, but confusing. The location extension (which is a reasonable $50/year) makes the directory UX even more messy and confusing. It shouldn’t be so hard/impossible to clearly labe and move the filter/sort/search fields around so they make sense.

On email validation: suggestion to change the phrase

poi3 July 10, 2024

The plugin is great and I’ve been using it for a long time. I have a suggestion to make: during the registration, if the email field is being validated to be an unique email, when a user tries to register with an email that is already being used, the error message is “The email you entered is incorrect”It would be best to show a message like “The email you entered is already registered”.I’ve made the change under /core/um-actions-form.php (line 926 (I’ve only changed to my specific case where the validation is only for the email). But of course, I would like to have this small change made into the plugin so that I don’t have to change that piece every time there’s an update :)Many users forget they already registered and either don’t do anything (thinkin the site is not working) or raise tickets why does’t allow them to register (and again, they think there’s an error on the website). I understand the “generic” message since we don’t reveal that the user already exists. But that’s a false security feeling in my opinion. Fingers crossed the UM team agrees with me!

Excellent Plugin!

dan426 July 9, 2024

I used this plugin and also purchased the full extension package. It works perfectly. I had a few questions for the support team and they answered them quickly and clearly. I can highly recommend it.
