I use ultimate member for register, login and profile pages. Much more powerful than the wpFORO forms.
I think wpForo will do all you need with the wpForo User Custom Fields addon, so you don't need to use a heavy UM plugin for user login and registration: https://gvectors.com/product/wpforo-user-custom-fields/
Is there a way for the send a message button to be added to the Ultimate Member profile page (called Account)?
I'm sorry but wpForo cannot add any button on UM profile pages. UM profile page is a separate word and wpForo cannot do any changes on that page. The only changes are already added are Forum Tab and the Activity list.
Also is there a way to keep the mail icon default expanded under the members ICON? Members are having a hard time finding the envelope icon used to message not realizing they need to first expand it by clicking the arrow.
Sure, put this CSS code in the Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Styles > Custom CSS Code textarea, save it, delete all caches, go to forum front-end and press Ctrl+F5 to reset browser cache:
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpforo-post .wpforo-memberinfo {
padding: 3px;
text-align: center;
display: block!important;
}
Lastly is there a way to use the members first name instead of the default nickname (@whatever) when sending a message ?
I'm sorry but not.
