There appears to be a bug in the UM logic – the only way around this issue is:

1. Copy my HOME page (e.g. HOME 02
2. Set the new HOME 02 page as the WP / Reading Home Page, such the the WP Home Page and the menu system Home Page are 2 different entities

But this means either redunddant content or a redirect. And I’d prefer not to add yet another plugin to fix this bug.

Upgraded to UM 2.0

Same problem.

Just to clarify the current process flow:

1. user is not logged in
2. user logs in via member-login page (enters USER NAME/EMAIL and PW)
3. user is then redirected to some kind of sub form on member-login page with 2 links – Your Account and Logout

In 90% of the cases, user is trying to access content that has been blocked (UM access control setting on page that enables access for all, logged in or not logged in users). So, I’m trying to figure out how to:

– direct user to last accessed page (the one that triggered the UM login) – BEST
– direct user to home page – OK
– simply not display the sub form in 3 above – it’s really confusing the users!

Thanks!

Hi

Thanks for the quick reply!

Tested for conflicts…negative.

I finally figured it out…was running wordpress in Vivaldi, but Chrome is set as my default browser. So, on a PW reset, I’d have a WP session open in Vivaldi, but the PW reset link would point to Chrome…even though I was logged out in Vivaldi, somehow there was a conflict if I tried resetting the PW in Chrome…

Everything OK now!

IDK, but Duplicator works just great with UM.

In case anyone else needs this function…

If the user is not logged in, then UM does not resolve {first_name} to NULL. Instead, it displays “{first_name}”.

So, I set up 2 top-level menus:

LOGIN / REGISTER
– only displayed for users not logged in
– includes the Ult Member login and register pages

HI! {first_name}
– only displayed for users who are logged in
– includes the Ult Member profile, account, member list and logout pages

It works quite well!

Sweet!!!

Thanks! What a great plugin! This surely rates as one of the top 10 WP plugins for completeness and usability. You guys really knocked it out of the park!

Final note – Ultimate Member provides very granular access control:

– based on log in status
– based on user role
– on nearly every visible object (page, post, popup, form, etc)

Given this, no plugin should even have any access logic. If there is a possibility that a user should or should not be given access based on role and/or login status, then a common function like Ultimate Member should own that logic, where it can be handled consistently.

I’ve discovered that UM has access control on nearly every publishable object in WP. So products like Watu don’t even need to do any check for logged in users.

UM, I am really impressed!

IF you are using Ultimate Member, then each function has its own shortcodes, some with references to specific form numbers, which are created during install.

The page names are not relevant. Further, you can theoretically have any other content on these pages I use various titles and bordered boxes to visually set off Ultimate Manager functions).

What does matter is that you have the correct shortcode. Most themes have sth like Visual Composer to create pages. I usually create a text box that contains the short code.

For example: for the login function, you need: [ultimatemember form_id=####], where #### = the form number created during the install.

Other functions have function-specific shortcode.

Hope this helps…

It’s still not working with 3.0.

I’m caught in the middle on this and don’t have any more time to invest on this issue.

I’m not a WP API expert, but your argument that Ult Member should do some kind of filter makes sense. On the other hand, if you’re going to display error messages and links, they should be fully configurable.

A reasonable workaround is to use sth like WP Popups at the top of each quiz page. It has triggers to detect whether a user is logged in, configurable messages and configurable actions.

Sorry, posted late last nite…

Watu and Ultimate Member…;>)

Get another plugin (Loco Translate) to change what should be a setting in your plugin…?

This is 2018.

In a private email, you indicated that the freemium version was hard-coded and that it would take at least several days to a week to resolve this issue. So, just to confirm, you’ve released 3.0 in the last 12 hours, is that correct?

Re 3.0, I believe that was the version I originally downloaded. Either way, I have 3.0 and cleared the cache. Still having the same problem.

Re Ult Member, sorry, typo. It is Ultimate Member. Given that it is one of the more (if not most) popular and robust WP Login replacement plugins, I’m hard pressed to believe they don’t filter wp_login_url. But I have a support ticket open with them and I’ll post their response as soon as I receive it.

Re my original suggestion, I still think that there should only be one instance of a login – candidly, I don’t recall ever seeing a plugin (or any site, for that matter), that invokes a login from different places on a site. Simply blocking process (of the quiz) would be sufficient. Users know where to login.

The login phrasing, font, etc. are all hard-coded, so it doesn’t look like any other error prompt on my site. You might want to look at Ultimate Member’s settings to see the options they provide for error situations.

Not sure I understand…I have 3.0 and it is still calling the old WP Login screen.

Are you saying you’ve changed the plugin in the current version and that it needs to be re-installed?
