Add custom tabs to the Member Portal
In Ultimate Membership Pro, the Member Portal Tabs module adds your own tabs or links to the Member Portal menu and lets you reorder all its tabs. Use it for a Resources tab with downloads, a link to your community forum or a page of upcoming events.
This guide adds a tab, gives it content, puts it in place and shows it to members.
Before you start
- Your license is active; modules need it. See Find and activate your license key.
- The Member Portal is set up. See Set up the Member Portal.
Switch on the module
- Go to Ultimate Membership Pro›Modules and open Member Portal Tabs (in Members & Registration).
- Switch on Activate/Hold Member Portal Tabs and click Save Changes.
Add a menu item

Troubleshooting
Why isn’t my new tab in the Member Portal?
New tabs start hidden. Turn on Show in Portal for the tab in Showcases › Member Portal and save.
Why didn’t my new menu item save?
The slug is already used or is the name of a built-in tab. Use another slug, for example library.
Why doesn’t the new tab order show?
Click Save Changes under ReOrder Menu Items after dragging the rows, then clear your page cache.
