@awto,
Sure, go to your site’s wp-content folder, then edit: plugins/ultimate-member/includes/core/class-shortcodes.php
Around line 513 of the current version of the plugin (or if you search for the word “already”), there is this block of code:
//not display on admin preview
if ( empty( $_POST['act_id'] ) || $_POST['act_id'] != 'um_admin_preview_form' ) {
if ( 'register' == $mode && is_user_logged_in() ) {
return __( 'You are already registered', 'ultimate-member' );
}
}
If you comment out that whole block, it should work. But again, this is modifying the core plugin code, which means any update to it will overwrite this block (you’ll have to comment it out on every update, which is what I’m doing these days). Plus, I am assuming it doesn’t break anything else, but it could, I guess. So far, it works fine on our site.
If the developers would either put a small hook call right before and right after (maybe even just right after as there is one right before) this block of code, we would have the ability to disable this functionality via a hook and never touch their core code again. But they don’t seem willing to add a small hook call here, for what reason I have no clue. A hook would give us the best of both worlds – the default would be to block it, and those of us who want it can still have it by enabling via the hook.
Given all that I’m seeing with these issues, plus the fact UM doesn’t do ajax registration forms (which I really need!), I’m considering rolling my own stuff with gravity forms plus standard wp API. I don’t really use the extra functions of UM (account list, social stuff), I simply use it for registration and login – and most of our login/registration needs to happen in popups without leaving the page. I just need to figure out how to handle email verification (sending the link to the user’s email) and I’ll be set with gravity forms for my needs, I believe. I mean, I did love UM for the ease of handling all the registration/login, it is very nice … but no ajax is killing me, plus issues like this that don’t get resolved even after multiple emails sent.
