  1. It is just a name you are giving to the entry. It does not have any special significance.<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0It is the unique member type name. We recommend using lowercase string. Avoid space and numbers if possible. A developer can use it to uniquely identify the member type. It is required.<\/li>\n

  7. Exclude Member from Directory:- Do you want to hide the members belonging to this member type from the directory listing?<\/li>\n
  8. \u00a0List in directory:- Do you want to add a tab in the members directory on which the user can click to see all members belonging to this category.<\/li>\n
  9. Is Active:- Do you want to make this member type enabled or disabled.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Other options:-<\/h3>\n

    The bottom portion allows us to integrate with multiple other plugin(and will be visible based on the integration).<\/p>\n

    Group Association:-<\/h3>\n

    You can add the user to one or more BuddyPress group when their member type is updated. Once you start typing the group name, a list of suggested groups will appear and you can select the groups which should be associated with this member type.<\/p>\n

    Roles Association:-<\/h3>\n

    You can set the roles for uses based on their member types. You can select one or more roles. When the user’s member type is added\/updated, their role is updated to reflect this change.<\/p>\n

    WooCommerce Memberships Association:-<\/h3>\n

    If the WooCommerce Memberships plugin is active, you can associate one or more subscription level with a member type. When a member type changes, the user will be assigned the respective subscription level.<\/p>\n

    Paid Memberships Pro Association:-<\/h3>\n

    If the Paid Memberships Pro plugin is active, you can associate one membership level to each member type. When the member type is updated, the user will be assigned the membership.<\/p>\n
