Different User Accounts

[kellylouise007]

Hello, is there a way of creating separate “types” of users with different content in each.
So, for example when a user registers they select if they are a buyer (user type1) / seller (user type2)

And then depending on the category they select, they would go ahead and register but only be asked to answer questions relating to them.

Then, once they have registered, Is it possible to pre-set the type of account they have. I.e User type1 has blue profile / user type2 has red profile. Obviously the content would also appear differently depending on the pre-set fields.

Sorry its a tricky one to explain, but basically I would like to give one set of users different privileges.

Thanks

I agree, this would be an extremely nice and useful feature 😀 perhaps it could be a future features request? 🙂

Ok, a possible workaround which may be compatible with the future version.

I use gravity forms which allows me to create user profiles. Gravity forms has conditional logic.
So I can have one field dictate the appearance of other fields.

So for example I can have a drop down with the option seller or buyer.
Then I have specific field sets for both which I will be displaying based on what the user selects in the drop down.
That means that you will be ending up with empty fields.

So all that remains is to hide the empty fields (I am sure it can be done with some code if it’s not already there)…

Excellent, Thanks Guys.

I need the same ability, to be able to have two different user experiences. User 1(seller) would fill out a full extended profile with its own fields to complete. User 2 (buyer) would search for user 1 profiles/fields that match their criteria. This would be a great feature to add! Again, difficult to explain what I doing but similar to kellylouise007 original post. Any other suggestions besides gravity forms?

Hi, There is also this plugin BuddyPress user account type PRO (allows different user types)
