Uploaded Files Structure
Overview
This document describes how the Ultimate Member plugin uploads and stores images and other files.
Upload Process
The plugin adopts a structured approach for handling file uploads. Initially, files and images are directed to a temporary folder at /wp-content/uploads/ultimatemember/temp/. Following form submission, the uploaded files seamlessly move to the respective member's folder.
Member's Folder Structure:
Every member on the Ultimate Member platform is allocated a dedicated folder at /wp-content/uploads/ultimatemember/{user_id}/, where {user_id} is the unique user identification number. Within this folder, specific data types are organized.
Contents of the Member's Folder:
The member's folder categorizes data into sections:
- Cover Photos and Thumbnails: This section stores original cover photos and their corresponding thumbnails.
- Profile Photos and Thumbnails: Both profile photos and their thumbnails are organized within this section.
- Images from the "Image Upload" Field: Images uploaded through the "Image Upload" field type are prefixed with
'stream_photo_'or easy identification. - Files from the "File Upload" Field: Files from the "File Upload" field type are labeled with the
'file_'prefix.
Note: The plugin renames the uploaded cover photo and profile photo files but keeps the original file extension: gif, jpg, jpeg, or png.

This systematic approach ensures that each member's files are organized within their designated space on the Ultimate Member plugin.
