Title: Ultimate Member hook Last modified: January 10, 2018 --- # Ultimate Member hook * [jkepler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jkepler/) * (@jkepler) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ultimate-member-hook/) * Greetings * Can someone please tell me where exactly do I place a hook code for custom validation in a registration form made with Ultimate Member? * Supose I have a custom field FIELD_1, and on submission I want to run Function_1. The code will be: * add_action(‘um_submit_form_errors_hook_’,’Function_1′); function Function1( $args ) { global $ultimatemember; //check var $args[‘F1’] //… } * Where exactly do I place this code? Inside the registration page as PHP? * Another question, if I may: can I override the wp-signup.php with Ultimate Member or must it be done via .htaccess? * Kind regards * Kepler Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Support [mansurahamed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mansurahamed/) * (@mansurahamed) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ultimate-member-hook/#post-9850093) * Hi [@jkepler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jkepler/), * You custom hook codes should be placed in your child theme’s functions.php file. UM overrides wordpress signup. you should see the default signup form & allow you to register using um registration form in [http://yousite.com/register](http://yousite.com/register) page. * Thank you. * Thread Starter [jkepler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jkepler/) * (@jkepler) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ultimate-member-hook/#post-9850362) * Hi [@mansurahamed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mansurahamed/) * Thanks for the reply. One question if I may: if I use “My Custom Functions” plugin, and add my code there, will it work right? * Kind regards * JKepler * Plugin Support [Ultimate Member Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ultimatemembersupport/) * (@ultimatemembersupport) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ultimate-member-hook/#post-9851182) * Hi [@jkepler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jkepler/), * Yes, it should work. * Regards. * Thread Starter [jkepler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jkepler/) * (@jkepler) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ultimate-member-hook/#post-9851216) * Hi * It doesn’t…I’m doing something wrong… Can you help me please with an example? * NOTE: If I place the code in function.php of the child template it works. With a code snippet plugin it doesn’t. So I must be placing the wrong code/hook * Kind regards * JKepler - This reply was modified 8 years, 4 months ago by [jkepler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jkepler/). * Plugin Support [Ultimate Member Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ultimatemembersupport/) * (@ultimatemembersupport) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ultimate-member-hook/#post-9851250) * Hi [@jkepler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jkepler/), * Have you selected “Custom validation” in Validate dropdown in your field settings? Please also make sure to add your action name in Custom Action field. * Regards. * Thread Starter [jkepler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jkepler/) * (@jkepler) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ultimate-member-hook/#post-9851365) * Hi, * Yes I did. The proof is that if I place my validating code in the functions.php child theme, the validation is done correctly (it only allows what I want, otherwise gives a custom error message defined by me). * So with codes snippets the code is not being injected – whatever value I place in the custom field is accepted. * Kind regards * JKepler * [ilincazh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ilincazh/) * (@ilincazh) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ultimate-member-hook/#post-10337600) * I’m having the same problem. Is this a bug in Ultimate Member? * [@jkepler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jkepler/) were you able to solve your issue? * [Izaac Johansson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/izaacj/) * (@izaacj) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ultimate-member-hook/#post-10498582) * Trying to add validation in my plugin, but it doesn’t work. * I have a field for a verification code, that shall be verified against another server (api stuff) and it seems that the validation doesn’t run at all. tried die’ing inside my validate function to no avail. * the code should be like this, right: * add_action( ‘um_submit_form_errors_hook_’, ‘my_validation’ ) function my_validation( $args) { // code } * And what shall I put in the form editors custom validation field? All docs on this is EXTREMELY vague.
