hello,
I’d like to ask if the code mentioned in #4476 still works, cause when i added it to bp-custom.php, new registered user still have empty member type

function buddydev_set_member_type( $user_id ) {
	
	$member_type = 'tutor';//change with the unique slug of your member type
	bp_set_member_type( $user_id, $member_type );
	
}
add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'buddydev_set_member_type', 0 );

what I’ve done up till now: installed bp member types plugin, created member type ‘tutor’ and added following code in bp-custom.php to restrict certain member type from accessing certain pages

// Blocks pages from different users and users who aren't logged in
function bp_redirect_pages() {
	$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
	// Declares a variable containing the current user's member type
	$member_type = bp_get_member_type( $current_user->ID );
	$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
	$explode_url = explode("/", $url);
	// Redirects members who are 'associate-member' types from access urls containing 'full-members'
	if ( 'tutor' === $member_type && (in_array("compose", $explode_url)||in_array("view", $explode_url))) { 
		wp_redirect( home_url() . '/shop/' ); 
	}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'bp_redirect_pages' );

which is worked.
i added your code below it.

many thanks!
