BuddyPress.org

Update clarification:
Apparently member types is front end and visitors to the site sees something like “User1 is an student” and “User2 is a teacher” where student and teachers are the member types, but user roles is back end and can be used to create conditions in wordpress.

What I’d like is something that allows people to register as different roles/types that can then allow them to be automatically (as opposed to the site admin having to manually assign each user after they sign up) restricted or redirected to different pages. For example, people who want to register as students use Form1 which automatically registers them as role/type “student”, and people who want to register as teachers use Form2 which automatically registers them as role/type “teachers”. Then all teachers get access to quizzes and quiz answers page, but students only get access to quizzes page.

I am only testing so I would like a free alternative, I don’t mind using several plugins to work together. I saw an old post on Stackexchange recommending a plugin called “Buddypress User Account Type” but this plugin is not available anymore.

Is there anyone who knows of an alternative?

Hi ThinLizzie,

Oh I see, not a developer so didn’t know it is PHP code.

Could you tell me which PHP file to add it to? I assume it has to be in the plugin folder (ie Buddypress) in the wordpress “wp-content” -> “plugins”-> “buddypress” folder in the back end files? But i don’t know which php file it should go in.

I’ve tried adding it to the end of a “bp-loader.php” and a “class-buddypress.php” but neither seemed to work.

Thank you

WordPress on own servers?

Ok so could you please point me to where I should take the issue, thanks.

I have the WordPress Creator Plan.

In left side menu under ‘Users‘ there is ‘Member Types‘.

Clicking on ‘Member Types’ opens this (screenshot) page and this is my setup with created Member Types: Screenshot .

The plugins I have active are:
– (BuddyDev) BP Auto Login on Activation
– Activity Pub
– Akismet
– BP Auto Group Join
– BP MPO Activity Filter
– BP Profile as Homepage
– BuddyPress
– BuddyPress Username Changer
– BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types
– Crowdsignal Forms
– Crownsignal Polls & Ratings
– Gutenberg
– Imsanity
– Jetpack
– Jetpack Boost
– Kirki Customizer Framework
– Leira Letter Avatar
– Link Page to Groups
– Page Optimize
– rtMedia for WordPress
– WordPress.com Editing Toolkit
– WP Headers And Footers WP User Login Notifier
– Yoast SEO
– Youzify

I have disabled Youzify and BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types to see if they made the Member Types possible to create but no.

Thank you for your patience.

Added through WordPress Users > Profile Fields…….

I have more menu links created the same way which include all Member Types we have and are visible to all these Member Types (all members of community), as should, with no issues.

This specific menu link that I have issues with uses specific User Roles, where not all User Roles available are included, just three User Roles selected – and it has this issue.

Thank you for replying.

Some helpful details:

Wordpress Version: 6.5.2
BuddyPress Version: 12.4.0
BuddyX Version: 4.6.7

I solved this by finding another posters update, thank goodness they updated…
By installing BP Classic

BP Classic

Then setting those 3 pages there.
After you install it go to Settings > Buddy Press Pages and sure enough, now those three pages are unset. I had already created those three pages so I just set those three in those settings, then clicked Save in Permalinks (didn’t change the format, just clicked Save)
And FINALLY that most annoying message is gone 🙂
