What it does
Running a community or membership site on Ultimate Member means your theme has to handle two audiences: members who are signed in and visitors who are not. A general purpose theme often ignores that difference. This theme is built around it. Logged-in members see a header with their avatar and display name, while logged-out visitors see call to action buttons that point them toward registration. Notifications and private messaging icons from Ultimate Member extensions can sit right in the header, so members can reach them from any page.
Styling happens in the WordPress Customizer, where you can change colors, fonts and header layouts without writing code. The same Customizer also covers Ultimate Member extensions, which helps profiles, groups and other extension pages match the rest of the site. Optional top and bottom header bars hold extra menus, custom text or social icons, and you can choose whether bottom bar items show by default or only on interaction. For custom page layouts, the theme works with Beaver Builder and Elementor, and it is designed for current versions of major browsers.

Questions about Ultimate Member Theme
Do I need the Ultimate Member plugin to use this theme?
The theme is built specifically to complement the Ultimate Member plugin and its extensions. Its member-aware headers, notification icons and extension styling all rely on Ultimate Member, so it makes the most sense on sites already using that plugin.
Can I show different headers to members and visitors?
Yes. The header changes based on login status. Signed-in members see their avatar and display name, and visitors who are not logged in see call to action buttons that encourage them to register for your site.
Can I use Elementor or Beaver Builder with it?
Yes. The theme works with both Beaver Builder and Elementor, so you can design custom pages with drag and drop tools while the theme handles headers, styling and Ultimate Member integration.
Will I need to write CSS to change the design?
No coding is needed for common changes. Colors, fonts, header layouts and Ultimate Member extension styles can all be adjusted from the WordPress Customizer, and the optional header bars are configured there too.
