BuddyPress Cover Image Support

[Brian]

The next version of BuddyPress (2.4) scheduled to be released in two days (October 28, 2015) has cover image support for both Profiles and Groups.

I’ve tried out BuddyPress 2.4-beta2 with BuddyBoss 4.2.1 and cover photos don’t appear to work.

Profiles show a “Change Cover Photo” tab where you can set a cover photos, but after uploading, nothing shows up.

Groups show a “Cover Photo” tab, but it is blank (no content).

Is BuddyBoss fixing their theme to support BuddyPress 2.4? Can I have access to a beta build? I need this asap for an impending launch.

Thank you for your effort on this.

Hello @pallavi!

Is this fixed? Cause right now it still
does not show the cover photos for groups
after it is uploaded.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @lsgxtremes
I have tried to replicate the issue but it seems working fine to me, might be any of your active plugin is creating conflict with Group, Please try to de activate any group related plugins for a while to debug the issue.

Drop this into your funtions.php
change the ‘full_path_to_my_image.jpg’

// ---- start - add a default image to use for xprofile Cover Images
function your_theme_xprofile_cover_image( $settings = array() ) {
    $settings['default_cover'] = 'full_path_to_my_image.jpg';
 
    return $settings;
}
add_filter( 'bp_before_xprofile_cover_image_settings_parse_args', 'your_theme_xprofile_cover_image', 10, 1 );
// ---- end - add a default image to use for xprofile Cover Images

Thanks @frankwarwick

@lsgxtremes you can add attached image or any other image with same name inside child theme buddyboss-child/images folder to set your own default image.
