Lightweight and highly extendible, Ultimate Member will enable you to create almost any type of site where users can join and become members with absolute ease.
It’s very limiting; its templates are basic, you can’t control the images that users upload, and they have very low resolution, which makes it unprofessional.
This plugin never works right. It’s just one screw-up after another that I keep running into. And the support is never able to help (for free). I spend more time trying to fix this plugin than I spend working on anything else on my website. I was having a problem where my user profiles were showing the wrong profile pic. So the user profile pics were showing other people’s profile pics from other profile forms. When I asked support to help me figure out the problem, they offered to solve it for me for $100! Imagine that! They wanted to charge me $100 to fix THEIR SCREWUP! I asked them to just offer suggestions for free on how I can fix it myself. A couple of support associates refused, but I finally talked to one who did offer suggestions, although they didn’t work. I spent 3 whole days working on this until I finally figured it out myself!
Now I’ve run into another problem. When I post a shortcode for a form onto a page, it pulls up the wrong form!
I have been reaching out to support and they do not reply or fix the issues. It is disappointing. I will be moving plugins
This is a very good plugin, it helped me to implement restricted content feature on a website easily.
Seguramente, el mejor plugin para gestionar usuarios, permisos, bloqueos, etc.
