How to install
Automatic updates: this item is updated by the Ultrapack Auto Updater. With it installed, the new version shows up in your dashboard like any other WordPress update (how to set it up).
This item is an add-on for the Ultimate Member plugin. Installed on its own it throws no error, but it does not work either.
- Install and activate the Ultimate Member plugin before this one.
- Download the file
um-verified-users.zip. - In the WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
- Select the file
um-verified-users.zip, click Install Now and then Activate.
- Both stay active at the same time. Deactivating the Ultimate Member plugin turns this add-on off with it.
- An add-on settings usually show up inside the main plugin screens, not in a menu of their own. If you find nothing new in the dashboard after activating, look there before opening a ticket.
