Disabling cover photo from being edited

If you are able to add code to your site. This might be helpful

add_filter( 'um_user_photo_menu_edit', '_return_false', 10 );

Don’t try the “solution” above, it will not solve anything but give you a PHP failure.

Try this code snippet, which will both remove the JavaScript
used for uploading the Cover photo and remove the Camera overlay in Edit mode.

add_action( 'um_profile_header_cover_area', 'um_profile_header_cover_exclude', 10 );

function um_profile_header_cover_exclude() {

    $html = str_replace( array( 'class="um-dropdown"', 'class="um-cover-overlay"' ), 'style="display: none;"', ob_get_clean() );

    ob_start();
    echo $html;
}

add_filter( 'um_cover_area_content_dropdown_items', 'um_cover_area_content_dropdown_no_items', 10, 2 );

function um_cover_area_content_dropdown_no_items( $items, $user_id ) {

    return array();
}

Install by adding the code snippet to your active theme’s functions.php file
or use the “Code Snippets” Plugin

Thanks for the update missveronicatv

You are right. Outside of missing an underscore in the callback. I now see the goal was to disable the cover photo and not the profile picture. Oops.

@missveronicatv Thank you! That worked perfectly ??
