If you like plugins that ruin your setup, pick this one. Despite the prior comments by the author it does not uninstall. It changes the default way BP handles the cover pics and when you uninstall it, you NO LONGER HAVE THE OPTION TO UPLOAD GROUP COVERS! THats right, it defaults you to some old version of BP from the days when there were no covers for groups. And the plug-in does NOT restore default function even when deleted. This is a true piece of junk that worked years ago but will be certain to break your install. And if you read the prior comments, people have said this for years and the developer just makes general remarks in response instead of fixing it or removing it from production. It may have been cool years ago but do yourself a favor and DO NOT EVEN THINK AVOIT IT. I don’t usually leave bad reviews but this is a warning to those who might tempt fate. Not worth it. Ha, there are so many things wrong with it. It adds duplicate covers, one over the other, and you have to delete one, only to have the default show up again, improperly sized. Then, when you realize you don’t want it, it’s too late, because uninstalling it means that you now cannot upload group covers. Lol. Either fix it or shut it down.

Hello

I’ve chose a default cover but it doesn’t show at all in frontend for users.

This question is a little bit out of scope of specific to your plugin – I’m hoping to take advantage of your expertise

I’m trying to figure out how to assign External URL to cover images – in particular for individual Group cover images, but really for members too.

I wouldn’t mind even using the bp-custom.php and add function for each group but I don’t know how to identify each group by ID/name and assign a cover image to it.

function your_theme_xprofile_cover_image( $settings = array() ) {
    $settings['default_cover'] = 'https://site.url/to/your/default_cover_image.jpg';
 
    return $settings;
}
add_filter( 'bp_before_groups_cover_image_settings_parse_args', 'your_theme_xprofile_cover_image', 10, 1 );

any help appreciated, thanks

Hi I am using buddypress 3.2 version, when I installed this plugin and try to upload cover photo, the previous cover photo still remain and new cover photo comes below it, its not removing previous photo, is this work for buddypress 3.2 version

Didn’t think this could be related, but twice when I deleted pending membership requests all of the gallery images on the site vanished. Suggestions?!

Hi buddypress cover,

I check-marked for “Allow registered members to upload cover images”. It uploaded and the message say successfully. Is it auto updated after uploaded? It didn’t show the changes?

Unless is there should be a SAVE BUTTON to finalize the update? If so, It didn’t show the button? All I see just the delete button.

Please advise help,
Thanks

I use this function to call on uploaded cover image

      <?php // Get the Cover Image
        $member_cover_image_url = bp_attachments_get_attachment('url', array(
          'object_dir' => 'members',
          'item_id' => bp_loggedin_user_id(),
        ));
      ?>
<img src="<?php echo $member_cover_image_url; ?>">

With yours plugin this does not work, how to fix it?

Is it possible to change where the cover photo is uploaded to?

e.g. I upload avatars to a custom folder outside of wp-content due to issues I have encountered using AWS S3 bucket.

This is also a multisite so it’s nice to throw in a wildcard so URL always returns current site URL as base.

See example:

define( 'BP_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH', '/nas/content/live/site-base/community/profile' );
define( 'BP_AVATAR_URL', 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/community/profile' );

Hello,

I downloaded the plugin “BuddyPress Cover Photo” and then went to the settings–> Buddypress–> Options –> and clicked on “Replace BP 2.4 functionality” However when I went to the Buddypress profile to update cover photo, it doesn’t display nicely as the cover photo is displaying a lot smaller. In fact the avatar picture pretty much fills the height of it. Firstly is that normal? Because of that I tried to go back and uncheck “Replace BP 2.4 functionality” so that I would have the 2.4 core back but when I do, now I have no option for cover image whereas before I had the default one. How do I either make the cover image bigger with “Buddypress cover photo” or how do I get back the old 2.4 core? Thanks for the help!

Hi,

is it possible to add some additional fields from extended user’s profile that show on cover image, like description?

Thank you.

Hi, great plugin there! I am using it with Kleo and it’s awesome.

I just have one problem… My users are complaining about using any image for the cover and making it right. They have suggested to put a cropping functionality as the one in the avatar image upload on the cover image upload.

Is there a way to do that?

Best regards!

How can I get the cover picture in the members loop like there … https://codex.buddypress.org/using-buddypress-cover-images-inside-the-member-and-group-loops

Hi, The cover image is not changing immediately after Ajax load, After page load it’s reflating. Can you please let us know how it will be reflect after ajax response or can we reload the page after change the cover image?

It’s Urgent.

Thanks & Regards

Hi, Is there a way to have a shortcode display the URL of the profile pic, in case I want to use it somewhere else?

Thank you

Thanks for the excellent plugin. We would need your support to understand how to create a default group cover, one per each “group type”. And also a default profile cover per each “member type”. It would be very important for us. Thanks in advance and best regards

Hello there! ??

If you look on the screenshot the upload step for the cover appears twice..

Please view the screenshot below:

Same issue appears also in the user profile where you have two upload options:

The cover upload links addresses are also different:
https://example-domain.com/members/enduser-name/profile/change-cover/
https://example-domain.com/members/enduser-name/profile/change-cover-image/

Please kindly advise.
Thanks a bunch!

Hi there,

Cover photos are being uploaded to my uploads folder. How can I set a custom upload folder like this:

“wp-content/uploads/covers”

Thanks!

I would like to use the new wordpress translation service at https://translate.www.ads-software.com/locale/ca/default/wp-plugins/buddypress-cover-photo
but there is an error message: This plugin is not properly prepared for localization (View detailed logs on Slack). If you would like to translate this plugin, please contact the author.

Hi, I installed your cover image plugin just to see what it was like compared to buddypress cover image upload and I checked off to use this plugin instead of buddypress cover image in the buddypress settings and now my site is completely broken. I have even tried to restore to a backup and no luck. How can I undo anything this plugin has done?

I am using your sweetdate theme by the way.

Hi,

i like the plugin.
But i don’t like that the add/change-box is located at the bottom of the profile-page (i’m using kleo 4).
is it possible to either jump to the change-box at the bottom once i click on the add/change cover photo link or to create a modal/layover that opens when i click on the add/change link?

thanks
Daniel

Hello, the plugin triggers a Fatal Error with the new 2.6 version of Buddypress :
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_get_current_group_id() in /home/.../public_html/.../wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/classes/class-bp-group-extension.php on line 484

I don’t know if it’s the right place and the perfect way, but before the next update, if it can help someone, I changed the first line of the file group-cover.php like this :

if ( class_exists( 'BP_Group_Extension' ) ) :
by
if ( class_exists( 'BP_Group_Extension' ) && bp_is_active('groups') ) :

See also : The original Buddypress forum topic.

I hope you will forgive my intrusion, I’m not using this plugin currently but just started incorporating cover images in our clubs theme.

We run a multisite and use amazon ws3 which doesn’t play well with avatars in bp so we use the following script to take avatars out of uploads folder

define( 'BP_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH', '/nas/content/live/our-path/wp-content/members' );
define( 'BP_AVATAR_URL', 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/wp-content/members' );

We now need to do the same with our cover photo’s, cover photo’s are being uploaded to the directory but bp is still trying to call covers from the origial path it expects to find the cover photo’s in.

How would we write the redirect or command to pull cover photo’s from custom directory based on the script above?

Thanks!

Cover photo not working before or after installing the cover photo plugin. I am using the Dynamix theme with mediapress.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/buddypress-cover-photo/

I installed this buddypress cover photo plugin, but on my theme, the profile photo and a black box that goes next to it almost totally covers up the cover photo, anyway to change position so the profile photo is beneath the cover photo instead of in the middle of it?

Hello,
i have a problem with the Group cover picture size. It’s resizing my pics.
On my old groups it’s perfect and i have this:

body.buddypress div#item-header {
    background-image: url(https://.../wp-content/uploads/2015/06/cover7.jpg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center center !important;
}

The picture size is : 1920×222, the exacte file size.

But on my new groups, when i add a picture i have this:

body.buddypress div#item-header {
    background-image: url(https://.../wp-content/uploads/buddypress/groups/7/cover-image/0315f1501e44366efac1ab2a16f638af-bp-cover-image.jpg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center center !important;
}

The picture size is: 1200×222 but the file size is 1920×222.
Why the url is not the same? and why i don’t have my full sized picture?

Thanks a lot.

Hello,
I’d like to somewhere display the @username.
For the mani template I changed theme.php at line 61 from:
<h1>'.core_get_user_displayname_box( $user_id ).'</h1>

to:
<h1>@'.bp_get_displayed_user_username( $user_id ).'</h1>

In one of these threads you guys recommend using the buddypress core functionality for cover photos. Are you saying I should switch to use buddypress for member and group cover photos? If not, is this plugin going to be updated along side Kleo for the foreseeable future? I’m trying to determine whether or not to use this plugin or the default buddypress functionality. Thanks.
