I use the frontend to create new users using the registration form.
Like @tstrickland415 described, only the xprofile field is updated during the registration process and not the actual BP Member Type.
This leads obviously to having none of the operator/vendor/coach member showing up in members directory under each type.
Updating manually the member type in backend each time a new user register is probably not a good option for most sites.
Thanks again @danbp for this head start. I’ll also be looking into how to assign the member type in registration form and share it here.
I have just created 2 new members of different types.
Interestingly the members are visible in the backend (under Users), but do not show up in members directory under neither of the tabs.
The 3 tabs (one for each type) are displayed but all show 0 count.
What makes me more perplexed is that those 2 new members are not even accounted for in the members count.
They are present in backend but totally invisible in frontend.
