WP User Manager – User Profile Builder & Membership

Seriously just what I needed to make a login system for my site. Best of all it's FREE! and the hooks/actions are great for devs. Highly recommend.

AMAZING!


All in all, the plugin is well-intentioned but poorly implemented, as there are several translation gaps and manual code adaptions required, e.g. for translating name fields (as they aren't translatable by Loco translate) and defining data privacy link. The documentation is also very limited.



The support has unfortunately not helped me and has taken far too long. 


Good but dirty solution

The most customizable profiles & community builder WordPress plugin with front-end login, registration, profile customization and content restriction.
