Pages #

Account #

The shortcode that displays the account form is [ultimatemember_account]. This is the predefined content of the Account page.

Note: The account shortcode must be placed on the Account page. This shortcode cannot be used on pages other than the Account page.

Users can further customize their experience by showcasing specific account tabs through [ultimatemember_account tab="tab id"], as exemplified by [ultimatemember_account tab="password"]. The tab id, representing the section displayed in the URL (e.g., /account/general), allows users to seamlessly navigate between different account tabs.

Password Reset #

For the password reset functionality, the plugin provides the [ultimatemember_password] shortcode. This is the predefined content of the Password Reset page.

Critical to user interaction, shortcodes for Login, Registration, and User pages are readily available within the WordPress admin interface under Ultimate Member > Forms, ensuring easy access and customization for these essential pages.

The plugin creates the default Registration, Login and Profile forms on the plugin installation. The "Default Registration" shortcode is the predefined content of the Register page. The "Default Login" shortcode is the predefined content of the Login page. The "Default Profile" shortcode is the predefined content of the User page.

You can create additional forms of these three types. After creating the form, copy the form shortcode and paste it into the related page.

Note: The profile form shortcode must be placed on the User page. This shortcode cannot be used on pages other than the User page.

To enhance member directory functionality, administrators can incorporate shortcodes for member directories effortlessly. These specific shortcodes are conveniently located in the WordPress admin interface under Ultimate Member > Member Directories, providing a seamless way to manage and display member directories on the website.
