BuddyPress Member Types Pro

Member Types Pro - Advanced Member Type Management in BuddyPress

Member Types Pro is a powerful extension for BuddyPress that allows you to create, manage, and leverage different user categories to better tailor your social site's functionality. It simplifies the personalization of registration, profiles, and member directories, and allows for precise control over the visibility and actions assigned to specific user types.

Key Features of Member Types Pro

• Create unlimited member types with descriptions, icons, and labels that show on your profile.
• Integration with the registration form - displaying conditional fields depending on the selected type.
• Mapping member types to WordPress roles and permissions allows for automatic granting of access.
• Member directory filters and sorting – search by type, location, skill, or other profile fields.
• Possibility of assigning the type automatically or manually by the administrator and the option of selecting the type by the user during registration.
• Integration with profile systems (xProfile) – conditional fields and field groups visible only to specific types.
• Shortcodes and widgets to display member lists by type anywhere on your site.
• Content and interface element visibility options vary by member type.
• Can be used in rules for creating groups and invitations, for example to limit certain functions to selected types.

Benefits for the Community Site and Administrator

Member Types Pro helps maintain order in the online community and enhances the site's usability through user segmentation. Thanks to precise categorization into types, it is possible to:

• Better user experience customization – different registration forms and profiles tailored to the needs of professionals, clients, freelancers, and partners.
• Moderate content and assign permissions more effectively without manually managing roles.
• Facilitate searches and contact between users through directories filtered by type.
• Increase registration conversions with a simpler and more understandable role or type selection process.
• Possibility to create dedicated communication and onboarding paths for different user groups.

Applications and use cases

• E-learning platforms: distinguish between teachers, students and administrators with separate profiles and permissions.
• Portals for freelancers and clients: search for contractors by type and present offers targeted at a specific group.
• Industry websites and associations: member categorization (e.g. regular members, partners, sponsors) with dedicated functions.
• Social Marketplace: Display different profile fields and contact options based on user role.
• Event and conference pages: registration of participants, speakers and exhibitors with automatic assignment to the appropriate directories.

Integration, flexibility and implementation

Member Types Pro is designed for flexible implementation into existing BuddyPress installations. Thanks to conditional field mechanisms, role mapping, and the ability to display types in directories, integration with existing profiles and registration processes is quick and easy to set up. Shortcodes allow you to insert lists and filters anywhere on your page, and visibility options allow you to tailor the interface to the needs of different user groups.

In summary, Member Types Pro is a solution aimed at social media platform administrators who want more control over their user structure and want to offer personalized experiences based on clearly defined member types.
