Photos
Photo albums as native screens — a grid of albums, a grid of photos inside one, and a photo opened full-screen with its likes and comments.
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 Photos onto a navigation bar or into the side drawer.
This is the browsing screen. To let members manage their own albums, place My Photos, and to give them a direct route to a new album, place Create Album.
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 |
| Restrictions | Which roles see the tab | Everyone |
Likes and comments are one switch on your site. Ultimate Member governs both with a single setting, so a site that has switched photo comments off has switched likes off with them, and this toggle cannot bring either back.
A photo with its own comment lock stays closed however Comments is set.
What your members see
Section titled “What your members see”A member’s albums, then the photos in one, then a photo full-screen. Tapping a photo opens it with its likes and comment thread; pulling down refreshes; the grid loads more as it scrolls.
Nothing here creates, edits or deletes. Browsing someone else’s albums never offers those controls however My Photos is configured.

Privacy comes from your site
Section titled “Privacy comes from your site”Album privacy is enforced by Ultimate Member - User Photos, not by the app. An album a member cannot see on the web is not returned to the app either.
If an album appears that you did not expect, check its privacy in WordPress rather than the tab’s configuration.
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 |
| The card is greyed out | Ultimate Member - User Photos is inactive | Activate it |
| No like button, with Likes on | Photo comments are off on your site, which switches likes off too | Turn them on in Ultimate Member |
| A comment thread will not open | That photo’s comment lock is on | Turn the lock off in WordPress |
| Members cannot add anything | This screen is read-only by design | Place My Photos |
| An album is missing | Its privacy excludes them | Check it in Ultimate Member |
