Hello Imath,

I would like to tell you something that I think would work quite well in buddypress, because you do not implement any option so that the web administrator can change that the uploads of files, photos, videos, etc … can be changed so that they are externally , nowadays you have clouds where they give you storage and the user in that should not have any problem, in addition that your hosting will thank you since you leave your storage free of users and with it always light, that way you also leave them to Users who upload all the content they want without any upload restriction problem, in this way many people who perhaps do not use the plugin for the amount demanded by a social network for the amount of files in the storage of their hosting and who is not interested in this form because you can change it in your options, is this not a good idea? Why don’t they have an option like this? Greetings.

  Hello @ruben,
  
  It’s a good idea we can probably achieve using the direct URL to the image to upload it into the community site’s wp-content/uploads/ directory before being able to crop it for the avatar/cover image.
  
  The important thing to consider is security: making sure the image is a real image file and does not contain malicious code etc..
  
  I’ll try to keep it in mind during 7.0.0 dev cycle. Thanks for your feedback 👍

Hello,

I just installed the Buddy Press plugin and I love what it has offered to my business site, I only have one problem I can’t solve and that is to be able to upload Gravatar and Cover Images. Any assistance would be appreciated, and I would be more than happy to test out your new release if you inform me how.

  Hi Jeff,
  
  That might be caused by a permission issue when writing the avatar or cover-image sub directories into the wp-content/uploads/ directory. So I’d suggest you to check this WordPress documentation page.
  
  Otherwise, I advise you to check https://buddypress.org/support/
