--- title: Set up the membership pages description: Check the pages Ultimate Membership Pro uses (register, login, plans, checkout, Member Portal and more), assign your own pages and set where members go after login, logout and registration. url: "https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/step-1-set-default-pages/" updated: "2026-10-18" category: Getting Started tags: - default pages --- # Set up the membership pages 5 minBeginnerUltimate Membership Pro 14.2+ Ultimate Membership Pro shows its forms and screens on regular WordPress pages: the [registration form](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/features/registration-login/) on a Register page, plans on a Subscription Plan page, the member's account on a My Account page, and so on. The plugin creates these pages when you activate it and remembers which page does what. This guide shows where the pages are assigned, how to use your own pages instead, and where members go after they log in, log out or register. Before you start - Ultimate Membership Pro is installed and active. See [Install Ultimate Membership Pro](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/install-ultimate-membership-pro/). ## The pages and their shortcodes Each page needs the right [shortcode](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/shortcodes-reference/) in its content. You can add your own text, images or blocks around it. Register Page The registration form. Shortcode: `[ihc-register]`. Default: **the **Register** page** Subscription Plan Page Lists your Memberships so visitors can pick one. Shortcode: `[ihc-select-level]`. Default: **the **Subscription Plan** page** Login Page The login form. Shortcode: `[ihc-login-form]`. Default: **the **Member Login** page** Logout Page Logs the member out. Shortcode: `[ihc-logout-link]`. Default: **the **Member LogOut** page** Member Portal Where members edit their profile and manage Memberships and payments. Shortcode: `[ihc-user-page]`. Default: **the **My Account** page** TOS Page Your terms of service, linked from the registration form when members must accept them. Holds your own text, no shortcode needed. Default: **the **Member TOS Page** page** Lost Password Page Lets visitors reset a forgotten password. Shortcode: `[ihc-pass-reset]`. Default: **the **Lost Password** page** Public Individual user Page A member's public profile, opened from the [Members Directory](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/members-directory/). Shortcode: `[ihc-visitor-inside-user-page]`. Default: **the **Public Individual Page** page** Checkout Page [Where members pay for a Membership](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/configure-the-checkout-page/). Shortcode: `[ihc-checkout-page]`. Default: **the **Checkout Page** page** Thank You Page [Shown after a payment is completed](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/customize-the-thank-you-page/). Shortcode: `[ihc-thank-you-page]`. Default: **the **Thank You Page** page** ## Open Pages Setup 1. Go to Ultimate Membership Pro*›*Settings. 2. Open **Pages Setup**. It's the first section of the Settings screen. [![Pages Setup card in Ultimate Membership Pro settings with the Register Page, Subscription Plan Page, Login Page and Logout Page drop-downs](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-membership-pages-01-pages-setup.png)](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-membership-pages-01-pages-setup.png) Each setting has a drop-down of your pages and a link to the page that's assigned. Check that every drop-down shows a page. The link under each one opens that page so you can check it on the front end. ## Use your own page To show a form on a page you designed, for example a branded login page: 1. Create or edit the page and add the shortcode from the list above. 2. In **Pages Setup**, pick that page in the matching drop-down. 3. Click Save Changes. You can also assign it from the [page editor](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/wordpress-block-editor/). The **Page Type** box in the editor sidebar has a **Set this page as** drop-down and a checklist of the required pages. Pick the page type, then save the page. A page type that's already assigned to another page isn't offered in the drop-down. [![Page Type box in the WordPress editor with the Set this page as drop-down and the Required pages checklist showing TOS as Not set](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-membership-pages-04-page-type-box.png)](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-membership-pages-04-page-type-box.png) The Page Type box in the editor sidebar. ## Choose the redirects Scroll down to **Redirects Setup** to decide where members land after key actions. [![Redirects Setup card with Default Redirect Page, After LogOut, After Registration, After Login and After Password Reset](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-membership-pages-02-redirects.png)](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-membership-pages-02-redirects.png) Post-Action Redirect Pages. Default Redirect Page Where visitors go when they open restricted content and the page's Locker doesn't name another redirect. Default: **the Default Redirect Page page** After LogOut Where members go after they log out. Default: **Member Login** After Registration Where new members go after they register, if nothing else redirects them. It doesn't apply when the member pays by Bank Transfer. Default: **Do Not Redirect** After Login Where members go after they log in, usually the [Member Portal](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/set-up-the-member-portal/). Default: **My Account** After Password Reset Where visitors go after they submit the Reset Password form. Default: **-** Click Save Changes when you're done. ## Check the pages list In Pages*›*All Pages, each membership page has a label next to its title, such as **Register Page** or **Account Page**. A **Restricted** label means the page has a Locker. [![WordPress Pages list where membership pages show labels such as Checkout Page, Login Page and Restricted](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-membership-pages-03-pages-list.png)](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-membership-pages-03-pages-list.png) Labels show which page does what. ## Lockers already set on these pages On activation the plugin also adds a Locker to some pages, so each page is only shown to the right people: Member Login, Register, Lost Password Only for visitors who aren't logged in. Logged-in members are sent to My Account. My Account, Member LogOut Only for logged-in users. Visitors are sent to Member Login. Checkout Page Only for logged-in users. Visitors are sent to Register. Keep these Lockers when you assign your own pages. You can copy the same settings in the page's Locker box. See [Restrict your first page](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/step-3-restrict-pagescontent/). Avoid common slugs Slugs such as `login`, `register` or `lost-password` can clash with other plugins or your theme, and the page then shows something else or nothing. Use your own slugs, such as `member-login`. After changing slugs, go to Settings*›*Permalinks and click **Save Changes** once. ## Example: the default setup **Pages after a new install**This is what Pages Setup shows right after activation. **Register Page** : Register **Subscription Plan Page** : Subscription Plan **Login Page** : Member Login **Logout Page** : Member LogOut **Member Portal** : My Account **TOS Page** : Member TOS Page **Lost Password Page** : Lost Password **Public Individual user Page** : Public Individual Page **Checkout Page** : Checkout Page **Thank You Page** : Thank You Page **Default Redirect Page** : Default Redirect Page **After Login** : My Account **After LogOut** : Member Login ## Troubleshooting “Default Login Page is missing!” No page is assigned for that page type, or the page was deleted. Pick a page in Pages Setup and save. The same message appears for the other page types. A membership page shows a 404 error or the wrong content Go to Settings*›*Permalinks and click Save Changes. If it still happens, give the page a less common slug. The form doesn't show on the page The page content doesn't have the shortcode. Add it from the list above. I'm sent away from the Login or Register page You're logged in. These pages are only for visitors who aren't logged in.
