Advanced Tab: Developers

The Developers subtub in Ultimate Member provides advanced configuration options intended for developers. These settings should be modified with caution, as they directly affect site functionality. To configure the developer settings, go to wp-admin > Ultimate Member > Settings > Advanced > Developers.

Developers

Allowed Choice Callbacks

This option allows you to specify PHP functions that can be used as choice callbacks. By defining permitted functions, you prevent the execution of unverified third-party functions that could pose security risks.

  • Usage: Enter one PHP function per line to whitelist safe functions.

REST API Version

This setting controls the version of the Ultimate Member REST API used on your site. Keeping this updated ensures compatibility and security.

  • Default Version: 2.0
  • Recommendation: Always use the latest version for optimal security and performance.

Redirect 

This setting allows you to configure redirect rules for user interactions and external links.

Allow External Link Redirect Confirmation

When enabled, this setting triggers a JavaScript confirmation alert before redirecting users to an external link. This helps prevent accidental navigation to untrusted sources.

  • Functionality: Displays a JS confirmation box when an external link is clicked.
  • Recommendation: Enable this for additional security and user awareness.

Important Notes

  • These settings are developer-focused and should only be modified by users with technical expertise.
  • Misconfiguration may impact site security, API functionality, or user experience.
  • Changes should be tested on a staging environment before applying them to a live site.
