How to assign by default member type for new user

Thank you for the question and using this plugin.

Please add this code in your bp-custom.php

/**
 * Set default member type for user on account activation.
 *
 * @param int $user_id user id.
 */
function buddydev_set_default_membertype_on_user_activation( $user_id ) {

	// User already has member type.
	if ( bp_get_member_type( $user_id, true ) ) {
		return;
	}

	$default_member_type = 'student';// change it with actual member type(unique name).

	bp_set_member_type( $user_id, $default_member_type );
}

add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'buddydev_set_default_membertype_on_user_activation', 11 );

Also, change the default member type from student to your own member type.

Hope that helps.

First of all thank you for your answer.

I read your answer and check that there is no bp-custome.php file in buddy press plugin directory. So, I googled …

AND I do below steps. Tell me if any wrong.

1. Create new bp-custom.php file.
2. Paste your above code in it.
3. Put this file on wp-custom/plugins folder.

Thanks

Hi,
Please put bp-custom.php in your wp-content/plugins directory and not in buddypress plugins’s directory.
