Descripción
Launch an Ultimate Member site faster, not just a widget pack.
If you are building with Ultimate Member, the hard part is not only forms and roles. It is getting to a finished site that already looks coherent: home page, login, register, password reset, profile, member directory, and headers that change for guests and members.
This plugin now leads with Site Kits, starter sites, and Elementor templates for Ultimate Member. Import a complete Ultimate Member site kit in one click, or use the included Elementor widgets to style login, register, password reset, profile, and member directory pages yourself. You get the design layer for Ultimate Member plus the fastest path to a working membership website.
Works with the free version of Elementor. Elementor Pro is not required. Built specifically for Ultimate Member.

Why site owners install this plugin
- Start with a complete Ultimate Member site kit — Import a working starter site with pages, forms, roles, member directory, and guest/member headers already connected.
- Skip plugin setup friction — Site Kits can install Elementor and Ultimate Member for you on a new WordPress site.
- Look branded from day one — Your login, register, password reset, and profile experience matches the rest of the site instead of feeling like plugin defaults.
- Give members a real directory — AJAX live search and filters help visitors browse and find people fast.
- Keep editing in Elementor — Change colors, typography, spacing, cards, and fields visually without custom CSS.
- Use starter sites or page-level templates — Import a full site, or improve only the pages you need.
- See what Pro starter sites unlock — Free includes one full starter site and preview cards for additional Pro site kits.
Starter sites first. Widgets when you need them.
You can use this plugin in two ways:
- Import a starter site — Best for new membership sites, communities, directories, schools, associations, and creator networks.
- Style individual Ultimate Member pages in Elementor — Best when you already have a site and only need better login, register, profile, or directory pages.
The free version includes Creator Community, a full Ultimate Member starter site. It gives you a home page, member directory, profile, login, register, password reset, and role-aware headers. Pro unlocks more site kits for different use cases, and Free now shows those Pro kits so users can preview what an upgrade adds.
If you do not want a full import, you can still use the Elementor widgets on existing pages.

- Elementor widgets for login, register, password reset, profile, and member directory pages

Can I filter my member directory by custom Ultimate Member fields?

No. Pro replaces Free. Deactivate one before activating the other.
-
Is this compatible with caching plugins like WP Rocket or LiteSpeed Cache?
-
Yes. If AJAX or directory scripts fail after minification, exclude
wp-content/plugins/ultimate-member-widgets-for-elementor/assets/js/from your caching plugin’s JavaScript processing. -
Does this work on WordPress multisite?
-
Yes. Each site in the network operates independently with its own user query scope.

Registro de cambios
2.9.4
- Added: Role-aware UM Site Headers — build Elementor headers for guests, logged-in members, or specific Ultimate Member roles (Ultimate Member Site Headers). Optional theme header hide, priority matching, and
[um_site_header]shortcode. - Added: Member Header Nav widget — Login/Register for guests; avatar, profile, account, directory, and logout for members, plus optional role-specific extra links.
- Added: Visual layout image-selector in the Elementor editor for Member Directory Grid and WordPress User Grid — pick Card, List, or Custom Template from thumbnail previews instead of icon/dropdown controls. Locked Pro Table and Carousel options keep the upgrade tooltip and notice.
- Fixed: Directory Grid pagination totals no longer come from a limited page query, so 100 users per page paginates the full member pool instead of greying out the pager.
- Added: Site Kits — import a complete membership site (pages, UM forms, roles, directory, guest/member headers). Creator Community is bundled free. Pro kits stay locked without a Pro licence.
- Added: One-click installer for Elementor and Ultimate Member from the Site Kits screen, so a new WordPress site can go from this plugin to a working membership site without hunting for dependencies.
- Added: Role-aware UM Site Footers (Ultimate Member Site Footers), used by Site Kits.
- Added: Hidden widget aliases so Pro widget names (
umep-*andum-user-profile-avatar) still render in Free. Existing pages that useum-login-register-styler,umwfe-member-header-nav,um-user-avatar, and the other Free widget IDs are unchanged. - Improved: Setup wizard, plugin action links, and the first-run notice now lead with Site Kits.
- Improved: This plugin can activate without Elementor already installed, so the Site Kits importer can install Elementor for you.
- This release repositions the plugin as the design layer for Ultimate Member. Widget IDs on existing pages are not renamed.
2.9.3
- Fixed: User Directory Grid role filter was ignored — selected roles (including custom Ultimate Member roles) now correctly limit the directory on initial render and AJAX search/pagination.
2.9.2
- Added: Our Plugins admin page — discover and one-click install related free UserElements Ultimate Member plugins (Member Export, SEO for Ultimate Member, Faceted Search). Available under Ultimate Member Our Plugins and Settings Our Plugins.
2.9.1
- Fixed: Fatal error with Elementor Pro Theme Builder —
UM_Condition_Base::get_priority()is now static to match Elementor Pro’sCondition_Basesignature.
2.9
- Added: Custom Template layout on Member Directory Grid and WordPress User Grid — pick an Elementor library template (Loop Item / Container / Section) and render it once per member. UM dynamic tags resolve per card. Card and List layouts are unchanged.
- Improved: Elementor 4.2 compatibility — declared “Elementor tested up to: 4.2.0” and enforce a minimum Elementor 3.5.0 version with an admin notice when older.
- Improved: Directory list widgets use Elementor’s
elementsHandler.attachHandlerlifecycle (with legacyelement_readyfallback) and expose pagination/layout settings viafrontend_availablefordata-settings. - Improved: AJAX directory handlers read saved widget settings through Elementor’s Documents API instead of walking raw
_elementor_datameta. - Improved: Soft Ultimate Member dependency — WordPress User Grid works without UM; UM widgets and AJAX register only when Ultimate Member is active, with a clear admin notice when it is missing.
- Fixed: Profile Photo dynamic tag now uses Elementor
Data_Tagfor Image controls; added a separate Profile Photo URL tag for URL controls. - Fixed: Member Avatar and Member Name widgets used the deprecated
_register_controls()method — migrated toregister_controls(). - Fixed: Member and profile widgets mark themselves as dynamic content and respect Elementor’s optimized markup experiment (
has_widget_inner_wrapper). - Fixed: WordPress User Grid now initializes correctly in the Elementor editor/preview via the frontend handler API.
- Added: Lightweight editor
content_template()placeholders for directory widgets.
2.8
- Added: Field Layout for the Login & Register Form widget — arrange UM form fields visually: set widths (full, 2/3, half, 1/3) for multi-column rows, reorder fields, hide labels, and control column gap. Pure CSS on UM’s own field wrappers; fields and validation stay managed in Ultimate Member, so nothing can desync.
- Added: Setup wizard — a guided 3-step first-run flow (requirements check, per-page starter designs, finish) that launches on activation and stays reachable from the Elementor Setup screen.
- Added: Starter templates — one-click Elementor layouts for the Login, Register, Password Reset, and Members Directory pages, applied to the mapped UM core page and opened straight in the editor.
- Added: Automatic layout backups — the previous Elementor layout of a page is saved before a starter template is applied and can be restored from the Elementor Setup screen.
- Improved: Widgets renamed into one consistent “Member” family (Member Login & Register Form, Member Password Reset, Member Flip Cards, Member Avatar, Member Name, Member Fields, WordPress User Grid, Logout Link) — panel search now finds every widget by natural keywords.
- Improved: Every widget links its Elementor “Need Help?” button to the matching tutorial or documentation page.
- Improved: The Members Directory page is no longer marked Pro in the wizard and setup dashboard — build it with the free Member Directory Grid; styling UM’s native directory shortcode remains a Pro widget.
- Improved: Admin menu entries renamed to “Member Pages” (Settings + Ultimate Member) for a single product surface across free and Pro.
- Added: Free vs Pro comparison table on the setup screen with per-feature demo links.
- Added: Editor guidance when a directory query matches no members on a new site.
- Added: “Hide locked Pro widgets” option under Member Pages Advanced.
- Added: One-time success toast after applying a starter template, with next-step guidance.
- Removed: Unused bundled image; tightened upgrade-notice copy.
- Fixed: Member directory widgets were capped at 100 users regardless of widget settings. Queries now respect Number of Members (up to 1000) and Users Per Page, including AJAX directory requests.
2.7
- Fixed: Removed duplicate legacy admin upgrade notice that could not be dismissed on Plugins/Dashboard screens.
- Fixed: In-editor Pro placeholder upgrade links now use centralized URLs with UTM attribution instead of a hardcoded price.
- Security: AJAX directory endpoints no longer trust client-supplied widget_settings query keys; meta filters are constrained to widget-exposed fields.
- Improved: New query engine enabled by default; cache invalidation only runs for directory-relevant meta changes.
2.6
- Added: UM Login & Register Form widget — style Ultimate Member login and register forms visually in Elementor.
- Added: Password Reset widget — complete your styled authentication flow in Elementor.
- Added: Pro widget placeholders in the Elementor editor — free users see upgrade cards for locked Pro widgets on the canvas.
2.5
- Security: AJAX filter endpoints now verify nonce before any file I/O or class loading.
- Security: meta_query items from widget_settings are sanitized before reaching WP_User_Query.
- Security: per_page in the UM AJAX handler clamped to a maximum of 100.
- Security: debug output gated behind WP_DEBUG on all error paths.
- Security: email address removed from default public meta fields in WP User List handler.
- Fixed: sort order control works for all options — ID, first/last name, last login, post count, email.
- Fixed: box shadow control uses Group_Control_Box_Shadow.
- Fixed: admin notice dismiss nonce mismatch caused silent dismiss failures.
- Fixed: PHP fatal when Elementor is inactive — undefined admin notice callbacks.
- Fixed: deprecated Elementor Scheme_Color and Scheme_Typography imports in flip card widget.
- Fixed: widget category sometimes did not appear due to hook registration timing.
- Fixed: meta key selector uncached table scan on every editor load — results cached one hour.
- Fixed: Pro layout values in database caused user cards to disappear — now fall back to card layout.
- Fixed: widget order_by and order settings not passed to the query engine.
- Added: Table and Carousel layout options visible in free widget with upgrade tooltip.
- Added: meta cache primed after user queries to avoid N+1 meta fetches.
- Added: query result transients invalidated on user profile, meta, or role changes.
- Improved: user-processing loop unified into shared static methods across AJAX handlers.
- Improved: pro upgrade notice scoped to admin-only roles and screens.
