Ultimate Member is a powerful plugin that allows you to add beautiful user profiles to your site and create advanced online communities. The plugin enables users to sign up and become members of your site all from the front-end. With a focus on flexibility and simplicity creating a community and membership site with WordPress has never been so easy.
Ultimate Member allows visitors to your site to register and become members. You can decide whether users can register automatically; require them to active account via email link or you an admin can manually approve/reject user registrations after reviewing details.
**Front-end login**
Allow users to login directly from your site and avoid the ugly WordPress login page. You can decide where users are redirected to after logging in and set custom redirects depending on the user’s role.
**User profiles**
Ultimate Member gives every user of your site a beautiful user profile where they can edit their information. You can create unique profiles for each user role and decide what information to show on the profiles.
**User roles**
With Ultimate Member you can create your own user roles and apply different controls and permissions to each user role. This flexibility is perfect for site’s that have multiple user types.
**Member directories**
The plugin allows you to create multiple member directories to allow people to easily search and find other users. The member directories are very flexible and you can control what user roles show in a directory; the order users appear in the directory; what search filters appear; what user roles can use the search filters and much more.
**Content restriction**
With Ultimate Member you can restrict content on a global on per page/post basis. You can restrict pages/posts so everyone can see the page/post; only logged out users can see the page/post or only logged in users can see the page/post (you can also restrict it to certain user roles). You can also set redirect urls for when people who are not allowed to access the page/post
The plugin provides users with an account page where users can change their account settings. The account page allows users to control their privacy settings, change their password and delete their own account. Admins can alter what shows on the account page depending on the amount of control you want users to have over their accounts.
With our custom fields, Ultimate Member allows you to gather any information you like from user’s when they signup or via their profile. The plugin comes with a full range of field types including: text box, textarea, dropdown, multi-select, radio, checkbox, url, password, image upload, file upload, date picker, time picker and star ratings

The plugin provides a range of customizable text only email templates which are triggered depending on certain events (e.g welcome email, account activation, account deleted etc). Each email type can be turned on/off. The plugin also offers a range of optional admin notification emails so you can find out when a new user registers or if new user needs reviewed.

At Ultimate Member we are committed to running an open company and letting users know about our future plans for the plugin. So to avoid any potential surprises in the future we wanted to let you know that whilst Ultimate Member core is completely free, we will be releasing paid extensions in the near future. We have decided to do this for a couple of reasons.
First, it allows us to create a powerful and lightweight core plugin that does not include feature bloat. Secondly, having paid extensions means we can work full time on the plugin which allows for faster development and enable us to create the best community/membership plugin ever. Currently there are no extensions available but we're working on hard on creating the first extensions for the plugin. If you'd like to find out when the first extensions will be ready you can follow us on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/umplugin) or like us on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ultimate-Member/1413909622233054).
We have big plans. Follow us on the [Trello board](https://trello.com/b/30quaczv/ultimate-member) to see planned features and what to expect from Ultimate Member.
If you're a developer and would like to contribute to the source code of the plugin you can do so via our [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/ultimatemember/ultimatemember).

Yes. Ultimate Member will work with any properly coded theme. However, some themes may cause conflicts with the plugin. If you find a styling issue with your theme please create a post in the community forum.
The plugin works with popular caching plugins by automatically excluding Ultimate Member pages from being cached. This ensures other visitors to a page will not see the private information of another user. However, if you add features of Ultimate Member to other pages you have to exclude those pages from being cached through your cache plugin settings panel.
We are currently in beta phase so at the moment the plugin only works on single site installs. However, we will be working on ensuring multisite compatibility during the beta period.
