Of course, I do understand about priorities! In any case, thank you very much for getting back to me and making your plugin available. (Also if the paid version has these options, I will ask our club to purchase it).

Thank you very much for the quick reply and tips. The limited option box would be great. I also tried to do it with the drop down list..but as users are not “forced” to select one item, it is easy for them to ignore the question. Is there a way to make this dropped down selection a required field…maybe I’ve overlooked something?

okay. let’s chill here…..I don’t really see where I can remove the message. just put as resolved?

Excuse me, but I put this post here as I thought it would also be relevant for the Evolve theme and it seems like an important issue that the developers and users would be interested in hearing about. I actually thought you would be pleased to receive such feedback. It really is not very nice to buy a theme and spend hours of my free time trying to troubleshoot problems to learn the problems apparently occurred because the theme is not compatible with WP 5.4….I feel bad and a little confused as to why I am getting scolded for submitting a simple and well-intentioned inquiry and being told that I have to pay to get a response after reporting an error ?. Thanks for your understanding..there are two sides to the coin.

@nsinelnikov _ Hi, tried reinistalling, but unfortunately same situation. I am not able to use Ultimate Member restrict content function on my menu. I rolled back to previous version and I again have the Ultimate Member Member Settings in the menu. ( I use the Evolve Plus theme..there is a megamenu included with the theme which I don’t use).
If I need to change something in code, could you kindly advise what and where (I am not a developer). Thks.

Hi Champ,
Thanks very much for getting back to me. It led me in the right direction! Embedding the short code in the short code did the trick. I am outlining what I had to do as it might be helpful for someone else. It would be great, however, if there were some type of feature in UM in the future whereby you could really separate public and private user directories and profiles a little easier.

Example of what I did:

User Page

[ultimatemember form_id=”6495″]
[um_show_content roles=’subscriber’][ultimatemember form_id=”1635″][/um_show_content]

[um_show_content roles=’subscriber’]
Note to myself …. DO NOT DELETE THIS PAGE “6495” shows “public” trainer profiles . “1635” is for all members profiles. It appears necessary to add 1635 here so that the profile form will also appear for users when they login to back end. It was also necessary to hide the page title (see Custom CSS Child theme)because if someone happened to put in a non public name after URL on the front end they would still get a page with the person’s name on it i.e the page title.even if they couldn’t see further details
[/um_show_content]

Member page

[um_show_content roles=’administrator’] [ultimatemember form_id=”1636″][/um_show_content]
[um_show_content roles=’administrator’]
Notes to myself DO NOT DELETE THIS PAGE Note “1636” is directory for all members. I also restricted access below via Ultimate Member check box to Logged in Users. This means that only the administrator can see list when logged in. It was also necessary to hide the page title see Custom CSS because if someone put in URL e.g. Members on the Front End they would still get the page title Therefore I have password protected this document.
[/um_show_content]

Please note that even if I have made a profile private (and it does not show up on the listing), the user info still shows up if you indicate the https://yourwebsitename/user/anyusername. If you put in the name of a deactivated user after the /user/, the deactivate profile shows up!
This happens for all users even if they are not assigned an ultimate member role.
This is definitely not good.
I can’t simply deactivate the page as then it is not possible to view the individual profiles of trainers who want to be viewed publicly.

It would be great to have some code here that prohibits this.

Can other users please check to see if they have the same problem and a developer help here. Thanks.

Back again…..I am not sure if I was quite clear and would like to clarify. I set up two roles…”members” one for all users and the other “Fat membrs” for those who would like to appear publicly in the trainer directory. The issues is that member users/profiles could still be found in the trainer directory (although they have not been assigned to it) if you put in a last name after the URL. Thus more details about this person could then be obtained.

Is it anyway possible for the administrator to hide certain users/profiles so they won’t show up at all? (I know there is capability for individual user to hide his profile, but it would be very difficult for me to get all individuals to do this)I found an old post from several years ago requesting this function, but it wasn’t available and I haven’t found anything else in this regard. Anyway, thanks for any help or ideas on how I could prevent such information from being accessed from the front end (I know it may be unlikely that someone tries typing in people’s names, but it really should not be possible for them to get at information that way when it is supposed to be private).
I have thought of changing url in user page from name to User-id number or having a different url to “mask” things, but am not sure it that is such a “clean” solution. Thanks.

Hi again,
Thanks for your response. In case this helps you or anyone else, I did some googling and experiment and this helped.

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/how-to-limit-file-upload-size/

I added the following to my child functions php and it seems to be working C:

// Users cannot upload large files Limit upload size for non-admins. Admins get the default limit
function increase_upload_size_limit( $limit ) {
if ( ! current_user_can( ‘manage_options’ ) ) {
$limit = 1048576; // 1 MB
}
return $limit;
}
add_filter( ‘upload_size_limit’, ‘increase_upload_size_limit’ );

Hi again,
I would also need to restrict the size of media that non-editors & non-administrators can upload. The server default is 35MB …think that would be too much for others users. Do you have any idea here?
Thanks for any pointers!

Dear Nigel01,
I really appreciate your kind response. I am testing another option that I think may work better for my website. I do the website as a volunteer and think the simpler solution should be okay.It doesn’t have as many features as Simple press, but is a bit easier to handle for less experienced people. Before taking up any more of your time, I am going to see if the other idea works first. Thank you again and all the best.

Dear Finnj,
Thank you very much for your kind response and tips. I realized that I can do this when I adjust category id in both settings and capabilities. I had trouble getting things for my normal members to work in their user roles despite adding capabilities, but I found I could assign them an additional Frontier Author role and that seems of have solved the issue. Things looked good, but then I was concerned about everyone accessing the medial library. Voila! I discovered you have created a great media library restriction plugin too. Super! You have answered my prayers! I do this website as a volunteer and have been testing so many plugins for my members only area…yours is really great idea, flexible and easy to work with. Before I get too excited, will you continue to be updating the plugins for WordPress?

Thanks for the fast reply and information! I am not able to add a topic as an admin or as regular user ie. member. As a little background info, I created a User Group Member where I see all the people who were already on my site. I gave them full access under permissions. I don’t want to let people register themselves–I will add them manually as users to WordPress and want them to have access to the Forum.
Sorry can’t add a screen shot here. But I cut and pasted what is on the screen.

Dear Ultimate Member,

I have a similar problem.

The order of my primary navigation menu changed completely after upgrading to the latest version.
The order of the menu is correct in the back end and when I view the site from the backend it looks fine. However, when I go to other browsers and visit the site the order of the menu is completely different from the way I had set it up. I have the most recent version of Ultimate Member.2.0.13 and am using the free version.
I didn’t have the problem before.
I would really appreciate some help.(as I can’t revert to a backup like the other guy) or a link to the more recent version. Thank you very much in advance.
