My Photos
The member’s own photo albums, with editing controls the browsing screen does not offer.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”| Plugin | Ultimate Member - User Photos |
| Endpoint group | Photos |
| Plan | Every plan |
Add it to your app
Section titled “Add it to your app”Drag My Photos onto a navigation bar or into the side drawer.
It is a separate feature from Photos rather than a mode of it, because a community can offer browsing without offering uploads.
Settings
Section titled “Settings”| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Title, Description | Shown at the top | Empty |
| Albums per row | 1 to 3 album tiles across | 2 |
| Photos per row | 2 to 4 tiles across inside an album | 3 |
| Likes | Show the like button and count on each photo | On |
| Comments | Show the comment thread under a photo | On |
| Items per page | How many load at a time as the list scrolls, 5 to 50 | 20 |
| Let members manage | Create albums, upload, reorder, set a cover, delete | On |
| Download all my photos | A button that builds a zip of every photo they own | On |
| Restrictions | Which roles see the tab | Everyone |
Let members manage never grants more than your site already allows. Your own per-role switches and photo limits in Ultimate Member apply on top of it, so turning it on cannot let a member exceed them.
What your members see
Section titled “What your members see”Their albums, with a button to create another. Inside an album they can upload from the camera roll, reorder photos, choose which one is the cover, and delete.
Download all my photos builds a zip in the background and hands it over when it is ready, rather than making them wait on a spinner.
Uploading asks for photo library permission the first time. What the prompt says is fixed and is what App Review reads — see Store readiness.

Photos or My Photos
Section titled “Photos or My Photos”| Photos | My Photos | |
|---|---|---|
| Shows | Albums the member may view | The member’s own albums |
| Create, upload, delete | No | Yes, when Let members manage is on |
| Download everything | No | Yes |
Place both if members should browse the community and keep their own albums. The two screens can carry different titles, so name them for what they do.
When it does not work
Section titled “When it does not work”| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The screen is empty | The Photos group is off | Enable the endpoints you need |
| No create button, with Let members manage on | Their role cannot create albums on your site | Check the role’s permissions in Ultimate Member |
| An upload is refused | The site’s photo or album limit is reached | Raise it in Ultimate Member |
| Uploads fail after the member denied the prompt | Photo library permission was refused | They re-enable it in the phone’s settings |
| The zip never arrives | It is built in the background and can take a while on a large library | Wait, then try again |
| Members can edit albums that are not theirs | They cannot — this screen only ever shows their own | Check you did not mean Photos |
