BuddyPress Member Types Pro by BuddyDev is a comprehensive management solution for categorizing users within a BuddyPress-powered WordPress community. Unlike the basic BuddyPress API which requires custom coding, this plugin provides a robust UI and automation engine.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
The plugin acts as a bridge between BuddyPress and other major WordPress ecosystems:
| Feature | Description |
| Role Mapping | Automatically assign/change WordPress Roles when a user’s Member Type is updated. |
| Group Sync | Automatically add users to specific BuddyPress Groups based on their Member Type. |
| Membership Integration | Supports WooCommerce Memberships, Paid Memberships Pro, s2Member, and Ultimate Membership Pro. |
| Conditional Profiles | Control the visibility of XProfile fields based on the user’s selected Member Type. |
| Directory Control | Enable/disable specific member type directories, customize slugs, and toggle “Member Type Tabs” in the main directory. |
Management UI: A dedicated interface at Dashboard -> Users -> Member Types to create, edit, activate, or deactivate types.
Redirection Engine: Set conditional login and registration redirects based on the member type.
Bulk Management: Ability to bulk-assign member types to existing users via the WordPress admin user list.
Landing Tabs: Specify a default profile landing tab (e.g., “Activity” vs “Profile”) uniquely for each member type.
For technical users and developers, the plugin includes several hooks and shortcodes:
Shortcodes:
[bpmtp-show-if-member-type in="type1,type2"]: Displays content only to specific types.
[bpmtp-hide-if-member-type]: Hides content from specific types.
[bpmtp-list-members type="student"]: Lists members of a specific type.
Extensibility: Developer-friendly hooks for template overrides and custom member type logic.
Search & Filter: Adds member type filtering to the BuddyPress “Advanced User Search.”
