You want one registration form to allow people to register with one of five different roles, is that right?

As you will have seen for yourself, when you create a registration form the form settings specify the role of the user that will be created by the form.

If you want to register users with different roles the expectation is that you create different forms for each role, and insert each of them on their own page, or on the same page and use conditional shortcodes to determine which to show according to some criteria.

As a shortcut when creating multiple similar forms you can clone existing forms and then make minor edits (e.g. to the role of the created user).

If you wanted to use a single form then you would need to use the API, e.g. the cred_save_data hook, and then modify the role using the set_role method of the WP_User class. I don't know how you would intend such a form to know which role to set?

HI nigel., the roles are basically same its just renamed to keep track the source login.
example

user_fb, user_linkedin etc. all come under main role " suscriber" .
I understand the part to close and add custom condition, but thats not needed for my case.
for simplicity i would need one form that able to register by 5 other roles.

appreciate if you have sample code for this for me to kickstart. Thanks.

You can find an example of setting the role after the form has been submitted in this thread: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/radio-buttons-selection-triggers-assigning-to-one-of-2-user-roles/

In that example the form includes a dropdown where the desired role is selected. It sounds like you will use something something else to determine the role, but the principles should be clear from the example code in that thread.

Let me know if you get stuck.
