Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to the uploaded avatar if a user doesn't activate their account or isn't approved?

Temporary avatars for unactivated accounts are automatically cleaned up after 7 days.

Is this plugin compatible with instant registration (without email confirmation or admin approval)?

While the plugin will work, it's optimized for and recommended to use with BuddyPress installations that require email confirmation and/or admin approval. For instant registrations, you may need to modify the plugin or consider alternative solutions.

How does the plugin handle avatar storage during the admin approval process?

The plugin securely stores the uploaded avatar until the admin approves the account. Once approved, the avatar is moved to its permanent location.

Is this plugin compatible with the latest version of BuddyPress?

Yes, Simple BuddyPress Signup Avatar is regularly tested and updated to ensure compatibility with the latest versions of WordPress and BuddyPress.

Can I make avatar upload mandatory?

Absolutely! You can toggle this option in the plugin settings.

What file types are supported for avatar upload?

The plugin supports JPEG, PNG, and GIF formats.

Can I control the maximum file size for uploads?

Yes, you can set the maximum file size in the plugin settings. The default is 5MB, but you can adjust this based on your needs.

How does the compression feature work?

The plugin allows administrators to set a compression level (from 0 to 100) for uploaded images. This helps to reduce file sizes while maintaining good image quality. Users can see a real-time, browser-based preview of how their compressed avatar might look during the upload process. Please note the live preview may differ slightly from the final compressed image due to differences in browser rendering and server-side image processing.

Does this plugin work with multisite?

Yes, Simple BuddyPress Signup Avatar is compatible with WordPress multisite installations.

How can I customize the styling of the avatar upload field?

The plugin uses standard BuddyPress styling. You can further customize the appearance using custom CSS in your theme or a custom CSS plugin.

My language is currently not supported. What can I do?

Simple BuddyPress Signup Avatar is translation-ready and supports any WordPress-compatible translation method. Here are a few options:

  1. Use a translation plugin: You can use plugins like Loco Translate, WPML, or Polylang to translate the plugin into your language directly within WordPress.

  2. Create translation files manually: If you're comfortable with translation tools, you can create .po and .mo files for your language and place them in the plugin's '/languages' directory.

  3. Contribute your translations: We welcome community translations! If you've translated the plugin, you can suggest your translations through the WordPress Translation Platform (GlotPress)

  4. Request a translation: If you need the plugin in a specific language but can’t create the translation yourself, you can request it on the WordPress Polyglots forum. The translation community or a Project Translation Editor (PTE) for your language may be able to help.

Remember, the plugin uses the textdomain 'simple-buddypress-signup-avatar' for all its translatable strings.

We appreciate any help in making Simple BuddyPress Signup Avatar accessible to users in different languages!
