    BuddyPress 2.2 introduced the concept of member types. BuddyPress itself does not register any member types.
    Plugins and themes can register member types using the bp_register_member_type() or the bp_register_member_types() function:

    More info here: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/member-types/

    It would be nice to have this incorporated into Kleo theme.
    A good examples of its use would be for profile field groups.
    Where you could assign specific profile field groups to member types.

    There’s a Member Type Register plugin as well: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-member-type-generator/

    I was playing around with displaying profile groups depending on the member type. This is by no means a complete solution, but perhaps will give you some insight on how this can be done. I used the above plugin to register 2 members types; Student and Teacher. Then in xprofile I created two new profile groups. Again, Student and Teacher. In the profile template (/kleo/buddypress/members/single/profile-loop.php), I added a conditional check to only display the base group and the profile group of the displayed users member type. The condition code is

    COPY CODE
    
    if ( ( bp_get_the_profile_group_name() == 'Base' ) or ( strcasecmp(bp_get_the_profile_group_name(), bp_get_member_type($bp->displayed_user->id)) == 0 ) )
    

    It basically compares the name of the current profile group during the looping process to the members type name. See attached for complete code (I added 3 lines with the comment ‘added’. Lines 1, 7 and 51).

    Again, this is not a complete solution since you’d have to do the same with the registration form and the profile edit screens.
