Your mail server (SMPT) has to be configured to the correct port and your mail’s user account and password with your host has to be right. 80% of all mail problems are caused by the wrong configuration…

Actually, that link to that code is useless unless the OP is well versed in cgi-php programming. To create what he wants to do would require modifying the code significantly and adding a new text field via UM form.

I created one on a test site and as you can see the form would not allow me to submit the registration unless I correct the email address which does not match.

I wonder if anyone would like me to develop a plugin to add this type of field security check with easy instructions for implementation on UM?

Best regards,

Of course there should be one (a confirmation email field).

1) I can only speak from my experience which is with UM v. 1.3.26. which shouldn’t be that much different from the 1.3.6X.

2) If somebody else has had success or a different result with my version or with the latest UM, please chime in and correct me if I am wrong.

3) Pierced, you seem to have taken unnecessary steps to create what boils down to a membership site with 2 types of memberships or users.

I have no idea how you managed to do that in the first place knowing that at:
UM > Settings > Setup, you can only assign one user profile page (i.e. in theory all logins should default to the same default user profile page, or the default “user” page).

This user profile page has its own assigned default shortcode (the one you got when you installed the plugin), so when you make a new profile form, a new shortcode is then created and should be added to a new page (e.g. “student”).

That new student page and its shortcode will not be the default unless you change it in the setup page. That would work for all your new student users, but that will also leave all the other users (faculty members) stranded.

The only way to assign a new registration form (and login page for the matter) to a new editable profile page is to create new functions and add them to the UM code. That is, you need another profile page separate from the default profile page, otherwise users will always be editing the same default form.

At least, that’s my experience with UM. So, unless you are a developer, you won’t be able to this.

Now, there is a crude method to obtain an extra user membership type out of UM, but without allowing them to edit their profile pages. But, this is probably something you need for both user types.

I hope this helps…

“Not sure when this broke, but both the admin role <b>and a custom role I created aren’t showing profiles</b>.”

Did you try syncing with WordPress role in your new UM student roles the “student” role to “subscriber”?

make a screenshot of the user roles form in question. your settings in particular.

Switch to your a WordPress default theme (e.g. Twenty Sixteen) and see if the problem is theme conflict (css)….
