Shortcodes

The [ultimatemember_wall] shortcode is designed for the user profile page, exclusively showcasing a user's wall posts. It does not display single posts or hashtags directly; instead, the hashtag link leads to the predefined Activity page. Additionally, the shortcode supports the display of the user's wall form.

[ultimatemember_activity]
The [ultimatemember_activity] shortcode offers a comprehensive view of site-wide activities. Users can filter by hashtag or a specific wall post. This shortcode is ideal for creating an Activity page on your site. It includes hashtags and, as a separate feature, internally utilizes the [ultimatemember_activity_single_post] shortcode callback via $_GET['wall_post'].
