Hi all,

I’ve been looking through the forums for an answer to this question but I haven’t found a specific answer. I set-up two different user types at registration for instance teacher and student. Then for each type of user I would like to create a different profile page with different fields. So that if you are a teacher user you must fill in profile fields that would be different for a student user.

Does anybody know if there is a plug-in available or a way of changing the settings to do this?

This is currently not possible with BuddyPress

Thanks for letting me know.

I should elaborate, you could do conditional profile page design but you can not have conditional profile fields

[SG205]

By conditional profile page design do you mean that each type of user would have a different profile page? So that there would be two different profile page designs?

[modemlooper]

Yeah, a developer could create a plugin that had different info fields for different users. It’s just not a core feature to have profile fields for different users. The main reason for this is BuddyPress doesn’t have different types of users. Everyone is a subscriber. The admins and mods just pertain to groups.

Do you know if there is a plugin that already does this?

[modemlooper]

No, this would require custom coding for your specific needs

Ok, sounds a bit beyond my abilities, I only heard of php last week. Thanks for helping me out.

Cool, had no idea that plugin existed. Hopefully it’s doesn’t get abandoned
