You have to do various things. But you can change the hook the Ultimate Member uses. They Use the Validation class. But keeping your need in mind, you can bypass the use of this class. This is the solution I think will work
remove_action( 'um_submit_form_register', 'um_submit_form_register', 10 );
Now we will register new method.
add_action( 'um_submit_form_register', 'my_custom_submit_form_register', 10 );
Here is the function. What I think the developers must do in the next release is to provide filter inside the Validation class.
function my_custom_submit_form_register( $args ) {
if ( isset( UM()->form()->errors ) ) {
return false;
}

I didn't change anything just added filter, so no problem happens if the developers change anything(u will face problems if developers added new things to this otherwise I reached to them to add a filter). Here is the filtered function.
function my_custom_password_strength() {
global $ultimatemember;
$password = $_POST['user_password-257'];
if (preg_match(" /^(?=.*[!@#$%^&*-])(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[A-Z]).{8,20}$/", $password)) {
return wp_generate_password(8)
} else {
$ultimatemember->classes['form']->add_error( 'user_password-257', __('Your password must have a special character') );
do_action('um_user_registration', $args);
}
}
This is the only way you can do this. You may have to add a few more checks. But remember to just play with the filter function my_custom_password_strength()
.
Hope this helps. Thanks
