2015-01-17 21:35:18 +02:00
2015-01-18 15:55:43 +02:00
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.

2015-01-22 22:27:53 +02:00
Yes. The plugin works fine with WordPress network / multisite now. In a recent update, we have made it possible to show the user photos network-wide.
