Use Cases and Who It’s For

Ultimate Member – User Tags is built for site administrators who need more than the standard WordPress user role system. If you operate a site where users need to be identified by specific attributes‚Äîsuch as “Certified Expert,” “Premium Member,” “Looking for Mentor,” or “Project Manager”‚Äîthis extension is the perfect solution.

For professional directories, tags allow visitors to quickly narrow down results to find the specific professional they need.
