BuddyPress Member Types Pro 1.5.6

The BuddyPress Member Types Pro plugin is a highly powerful and comprehensive premium extension designed to dramatically enhance the way you categorize, manage, and customize the user experience within your BuddyPress (or BuddyBoss) social network.

While BuddyPress offers a basic structure for users, this plugin unlocks the ability to define distinct user categories—or "Member Types"—and build tailored experiences for each.

🌟 Key Features and Benefits

The plugin goes far beyond simple categorization by integrating member types into the core functionality of your community:

1. Registration and Profile Customization

Custom Registration Fields: Overwrite the default BuddyPress Profile Forms with Member Type-specific Forms. Users registering as a "Student" can see different fields than those registering as a "Teacher."

Member Type Field: Add a dedicated field to the registration form and profile edit screen, allowing users to select their member type during sign-up or change it later (with permissions control).

Conditional Fields: Control which xProfile Fields are visible to users belonging to a given member type, streamlining the profile editing experience.

Singular or Multiple Types: Allow users to belong to one (singular) or multiple member types simultaneously.

2. Role, Group, and Membership Integration

This is where the "Pro" version provides deep automation:

Automatic Role Assignment: Automatically assign one or more WordPress User Roles (e.g., Subscriber, Editor, or custom roles like Wholesale) when a user is assigned a member type.

Group Assignment: Automatically add users to specific BuddyPress Groups based on their member type upon registration or type change.

Membership Integration (WooCommerce/PMPro): Seamlessly integrate with popular membership plugins (like WooCommerce Memberships or Paid Memberships Pro) to automatically assign membership plans when a user selects a specific member type.

3. Visibility and Directory Control

Member Directory Tabs: Automatically creates separate tabs in your main Member Directory for each member type (e.g., a "Students" tab and a "Teachers" tab), making filtering and searching easy.

Conditional Content Visibility: Use shortcodes (e.g., [bpmtp-hide-if-not-member-type]) to show or hide specific content (pages, posts, sections) on your site based on the viewer's or the profile owner's member type.

Directory Exclusion: Easily include or exclude specific member types from appearing in the main directory.

4. Administration and Management

Bulk Assignment: Easily assign or change member types for multiple users at once via the WordPress bulk actions menu.

Redirects: Set conditional login redirects and after-account-activation redirects based on the user's member type, providing a tailored onboarding experience.

💡 Use Case Examples

Education: Categorize users as Students, Teachers, or Alumni.

Intranets: Categorize employees by Department (Sales, HR, Marketing).

Dating/Niche Social: Categorize users by Gender, Profession, or Interest Group.

In short, BuddyPress Member Types Pro is the definitive tool for building complex, segmented communities where different user categories have different access, features, and profile experiences.
