BuddyPress.org

Hi I spoke with geodirectory and my request is out of their wheelhouse, but as buddypress is an add-on of theirs and what I use to have users sign up for their directory, I’m wondering if I can achieve what I need with extending buddypress.

Is it possible to create separate roles for a user when they sign up/register using geodirectory? Users fill in a radio field that asks if it’s a personal or business account. But they both get signed up as the same roles based on the generic wordpress settings.

I want to be able to automatically have a user become a certain role based on if they check business or personal and then hide/show certain things if a user is a business vs if they are personal, but as of now all users are on the same level when they sign up for the directory.
