Can you please explain what you did to solve it. I desperately would like to know how to let members choose their user roles on registration.

I have created a new xprofile group called ‘User Role’, with the following values (‘Editor’, ‘Contributor’, ‘Admin’ and ‘Subscriber’.

After this I pasted the following code into “bp-custom.php”:

function register_role($user_id) {
    $user_role = strtolower(xprofile_get_field_data('User Role', $user_id));
    switch($user_role) {
        case "Editor":
            $new_role = 'editor';
            break;
        case "Contributor":
            $new_role = 'contributor';
            break;
		case "Admin":
            $new_role = 'admin';
            break;
		case "Subscriber":
            $new_role = 'subscriber';
            break;
    }
    wp_update_user(array(
        'ID' => $user_id,
        'role' => $new_role
    ));
}
add_action( 'user_register', 'register_role');

What more do i need to do to make it work?
