In reply to: [Hubbub Lite - Fast, Reliable Social Sharing Buttons] Hide Element SelectorYes this helps. (I had not realized that “selector” was a specific term in CSS and that class is a type of selector.) BTW I could not find anything about this function in the plugin’s documentation; you might consider adding it. Thanks!

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Change “Billing Details” label if product if freeThanks @mohitmishra. To b eclear: I have both a product that has a price AND a product that is free: so, I’d like the label to say “Billing Details” when the user is purchasing the product that they need to be billed for, and “Your Details” when they are getting the free product. Can Loco Translate indeed change the label based on the total purchase amount at checkout?
I was able to fix this on my site by excluding the /password-reset page from the cache. (i.e., asking our hosting service –wpengine– to exclude the page)

In reply to: [bbp style pack] When Forum is Set to PrivateHi Robin,
I love your plug-in! But I have the same issue on our site as above. Here’s where I’ve adjusted the setting:

Barcelona themeThanks!
DanielI’d also like to see this feature in a future version of UM. I was about to use UM on a site I’m building right now, but ended up going with the (much less flexible) Pie Register plug-in solely because it does allow invitation codes.
Thank you for finally creating that documentation. Please don’t make such a big, disruptive change without notice or documentation in the future; this really had a big impact on our site, and took up probably six hours of my time in troubleshooting and creating a temporary workaround. Not cool.
I found the solution! It is surprisingly, maddeningly simple: It appears that in the shortcodes, UM now recognizes the “Role ID”, but not the “Role Title” — so this needs to be changed in your shortcodes.
In my case, I had a custom role called “Educator”, and previously I used this shortcode:
[um_show_content roles='educator']
In troubleshooting the problem today I noticed that in Ultimate Member > User Roles the Role ID for this role is “um_educator”. (I do not know if this was added on with the update or if it’s always been like this; I never had to deal with the Role ID before.) So I tried changing the shortcode to this, thinking how ridiculous it would be if that was the problem:
[um_show_content roles='um_educator']
It worked!
Weirdly, in the Menus, under “Ultimate Member Menu Settings”, if you restrict the menu to Logged In users, the options it shows you are of the Role Titles (e.g., “educator”), not Role IDs (e.g., “um_educator”). If I come across any other weirdness I’ll post it here.
Parting thoughts:
1.) Why on earth did UM make this major change without announcing it somehow?
2.) Why on earth is this change not reflected in the current documentation? (https://docs.ultimatemember.com/collection/263-20-documentation)Our website (where we sell registrations to an online course we offer) was partially unusable for nearly a week until I figured this issue out on my own — again, no thanks to UM Support. I’d hoped to use UM for content control as we expand the site, but after this experience…no thanks.
Update:
1.) I forgot to mention that these shortcodes don’t seem to work in widgets either.
2.) I think the answer to my problem lies in this documentation on the new User Roles logic and organization — https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1328-new-roles-logic — but I’m sorry to say, it is so poorly written that I can’t really understand much of it. I hope UM can get it ‘translated’ and rewritten by someone who has a better command of English.- This reply was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by Daniel Lerch.
@giannetwork, could you please share anything you’ve learned about this? I have the same problem (after update to 2.0.11) and have emailed UM support but not yet heard from them. Thanks.
