I’m really loving this theme. It has almost everything I need to make an awesome site; however, I do need the ability to let users select their user/membership type.
For example, at registration I’d like a user to select if they are a teacher or student.
Then, when viewing the members area, viewers can decide / filter the list by teachers or students.
Is there a way to do this with a plugin? I MUST keep the ability to register via Facebook 🙂

Then, can I sort the members page by that selection?
February 1, 2016 at 19:02 #101592sharmstrModeratorI doubt you’ll ever find a way to do it during FB registration since the member types dont exist in a FB profile. There are plugins that will allow you to let users select the member type during BP registration and when they edit the profile. I’ve never tried it, but here is one: http://buddydev.com/buddypress/using-buddypress-member-type-as-profile-field-introducing-bp-xprofile-member-type-field-plugin/

Of course, Facebook registration skips this step but it will let them select it after registration within their profile. It also adds the membership type on the members search page automatically which is awesome!
