Hi,

I am having this issue too, as of 17th May, I cannot create any BuddyPress Groups because it will not get by the Cover Image step, so this is broken, and should surely be a priority to fix, as without it Groups is not available.

I have WP 4.4.3, BuddyPress 2.5.2 and X 4.4.2 on…

please advise when this will be fixed and a workaround if possible, otherwise X is not truly BuddyPress compatible?

thanks,

imacg

Hi there,

I tried to troubleshoot what causes it to see if I can do some workaround, but not luck. Stay tuned for the update. But I’ll still look into it.

Thanks!

Thanks Rad, this is kind of critical to using X them on a BuddyPress site…please find a solution…

[Rad]

Sure, Thanks! Still looking into it.

Hi again,

if I change back to 2016 theme it works fine, and what it does is brings up a file uploader for the cover image, just the same functionality as the step before for the profile image, but in Xtheme, no uploader or anything appears on the cover image step, and that is why it doesn’t let you proceed, so surely this is easy fixed by making sure this step is copied over correctly into the theme…?

cheers,

Iain

Hi there,

Please upload this file to your child theme (eg. \wp-content\themes\x-child\buddypress\groups\single\ )

https://www.dropbox.com/s/rwzpqvoepjlpvtm/admin.php?dl=0

That will enable the cover photo back, but cover photo is never used anywhere even on templates header where profile is

Thanks!

[Iain M]

Thanks Rad,

I will try that, and for my current use that is fine because I’m not allowing anyone else to create groups..however, if I needed to – and others will – if the cover image is not used then why not simply remove that step for X theme use, that would be easiest, don’t have it if it isn’t used…

cheers,

Iain

an answer would be nice,

thanks

Hi there,

As the reference, https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/buddypress-cover-images/. And please add this code to your child theme’s functions.php to disable cover image.

// For groups :
add_filter( 'bp_is_groups_cover_image_active', '__return_false' );

That should let you enable group creation and editing, but without cover image feature.

Thanks!

[Iain M]

Thanks Rad, appreciate it…

cheers..!

Hi!

Im finding the same problem (in the cover image step nothing apears and i cant create groups), buty im noit using a child theme, it is posible to fix it?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Because this requires a template change, I’d advise that you setup a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released. After your child theme is setup, please review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices.

After setting up a child theme follow the thread.

Hope it helps.

Adding a cover image should be removed in Xtheme, or else it causes confusion and problems for admins of profile sites. I have for now removed this option with CSS.

#change-cover-image-personal-li {
	display: none;
}
