Disable Cover Photo Stock Image generation

[Andre]

After a profile is activated an image is generated in the media folder, called Cover Photo Stock Image. I have disabled the function (not using cover images). How can I stop getting images in the media folder I don’t want?

Hi @gimmedia

I have notified developers about it, buddyboss-inc/cover-photo.php need to be modified

Alright, is it a bug (and if so, when will this be fixed?) or can I comment out the code somewhere around row 293?

Hey @gimmedia

for mean while
you can modify function buddyboss_cover_photo_get_stock_sample() inside buddyboss-inc/cover-photo.php

$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $filename, 0 );

with

   //$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $filename, 0 );
   $attach_id = 0;

it will pause to insert new media into media library

Hi, but this modify, stops generation of cover photo if this feature is enabled?
And how i can set a custom stock of cover photos, to use it automatically? I’d like personalize the cover photos in my site 🙂
It’s possible?
And there is a similar option for the avatar? So the user that not sets a profile photo, have one random photo of a pool pre-selected from me 🙂
Thanks

I adjusted this code in the main boss theme, but it is not working. New profiles being activated still gets the stock image generated. Do I need to adjust it in my child theme or media plugin?
