    Hi Vivek,
    Please create a member type field and you can use it to let users choose their members type.

    For more details, Please see

    Thanks, but if i dont want to call the field “Member Type” in the reg form, but want to set a member type at the backend basis the value in a registration field, eg “I am a:”

    Also, what would be clean way to rename a member type later say if i call it “Teachers” now, when i am in one city (say Pune), but when i move to another city, in a few months, i will have separate types “Pune Teachers” and “Mumbai Teachers” and so on.

    You can name the field anything. It is a select/radio field that allows selecting one or more type. You can name it anything you want.

    The plugin can not auto update member type based on when a user moves. You will need to handle this case via core or a better strategy is to create member types of these values and let the user update their profile when they move.

    A member type can be anything, It is just a way to orgnize your users.
