Ultimate member Username edit

Hi @thnpanagiotidis

Unfortunately, this requires customization on your end. You can try the following code snippets to enable the username in the Profile Form:

add_filter("um_user_profile_restricted_edit_fields","um_111921_allow_username_edit");
function um_111921_allow_username_edit( $restricted_fields ){
    unset( $restricted_fields[2] );

    return $restricted_fields;
}

add_action("um_submit_form_profile","um_111921_username_validation", 1 );
function um_111921_username_validation( $post_form ){
      
    if( isset( $post_form['user_login'] ) && ! empty( $post_form['user_login'] ) ){
        $user = wp_get_current_user();
        if( username_exists( $post_form['user_login'] ) && $post_form['user_login'] !== $user->user_login ){
            UM()->form()->add_error( 'user_login', __( 'Your username is already taken', 'ultimate-member' ) );
        }
    }
}
add_action("um_user_after_updating_profile","um_111921_update_username", 9999999, 3 );
function um_111921_update_username( $to_update, $user_id, $args ){
    global $wpdb;
    $user = wp_get_current_user();
    $sql = $wpdb->prepare("UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_login = %s WHERE ID = %d", $to_update['user_login'], $user_id );
    $wpdb->query($sql);
    
    // Log-in again.
    wp_set_auth_cookie($user->ID);
    wp_set_current_user($user->ID);
    do_action('wp_login', $user->user_login, $user);
}

When you update the username, the account will be logged-out as per WP core design. You can add the code to your theme/child-theme’s functions.php file or use the Code Snippet plugin to run the code.

Did you add the username field to your Profile Form via UM Form Builder?

Hi @thnpanagiotidis

It’s not a Profile Form in your screenshot, it’s an Account form. The code above is for the Profile Form. You can view the profile form in /user/ page or /profile/ page. You can check the Profile page set in WP Admin > Ultimate Member > Settings > General > Pages > User page.

Please try enabling the user to edit the profile. Please go to WP Admin > Ultimate Member > User Roles > Edit the user role > see “General Permissions” section > check the option “Can edit their profile?”. Once the user is allowed to edit a profile, you should see the “Edit Profile” in the actions: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13dVugT-O2tJmHZiWQwx06iFRYXxtvpSz/view?usp=sharing

Hi @thnpanagiotidis

Please go to WP Admin > Ultimate Member > Forms > Edit the default Profile > click on the ” + ” to show the fields. Click on the “Username” field. Once the field is added, click on the “Update” to save the changes to the form.

Please edit the profile to see the editable fields: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13dVugT-O2tJmHZiWQwx06iFRYXxtvpSz/view

Hi @thnpanagiotidis

Did you keep the code above to your theme/child-theme’s functions.php file?

Regards,

Hi @thnpanagiotidis

Could you please try updating this code:

add_filter("um_user_profile_restricted_edit_fields","um_111921_allow_username_edit");
function um_111921_allow_username_edit( $restricted_fields ){
    unset( $restricted_fields[2] );

    return $restricted_fields;
}

To:

add_filter("um_user_profile_restricted_edit_fields","um_111921_allow_username_edit");
function um_111921_allow_username_edit( $restricted_fields ){
  
    return array();
}

Let me know if you’re still having issues.
