@modemlooper really I just tried the cropper and it’s working just fine for me

iOS 6 is only a few months away. It will allow image uploads. However, the cropper in BP does not work. This will get fixed. Be patient, there are a lot of people contributing to bringing awesome features but it takes time.

Right, this is a known side affect of the image crop.

The original image is not used. The cropper creates 2 new images that are not gif.

How or where are you cropping @David?

@leon89 thanks for posting what the issue was

@bellacrazy74 change to bp-default theme and see if crop avatar works from there.

@leon89 back up the theme and plugins you were translating and upload the original theme and plugins. Activate bp-default theme, then check if issue is resolved.

@ikosweb this CSS is essential for the avatar cropping feature. If anyone is developing their own theme and has decided to disable the default BuddyPress CSS then try adding this CSS snippet to your theme’s .css

@Bookkus

My avatar cropping seems to have broken too (since 1.5.6). Looking for a solution…

@tjbrewers

For iOS avatar uploads, I sent them to a separate mobile screen on which I did this:
`

`
And ‘mobile-apple-avatar-process’ is a WP page that calls
`
locate_template( array( ‘photo-process/mobile-apple-avatar-process.php’ ), true );
`
And ‘photo-process’ is a dir in my mobile theme.
In ‘mobile-apple-avatar-process.php’ I use a non-WP approach to creating the full and thumb images because for images uploaded on iOS, you need to check orientation (rotation) via exif_read_data. And I did a crude ‘auto-crop’.

So the user should never see the ”mobile-apple-avatar-process’ page.
And they are then sent to the value of redirectUrl in the href above.
And that screen should show them any bp_core_add_message values you created in ‘mobile-apple-avatar-process.php’

It’s awkward, but it works.

@mercime thanks for the response…

I do have membership enabled in settings > general as I already said I did.

It’s a new buddypress installation so no, was never able to upload & crop an avatar before as this is the first time I tried.

Yes, I can upload, crop etc images everywhere else.

New installation of both wordpress and buddypress – installed both yesterday.

== no registration page and have membership enabled. ==
@labeshops You need to enable Registration in dashboard menu Settings > General

== Also noticed I get errors trying to change the avatar – says there was an error cropping it, please try again.==
1. Trying to change the avatar –> you mean you were able to upload and crop avatar before?
2. Are you able to upload and crop images in Pages > Add New or Posts > Add New panel?
3. Is this a new installation or did you upgrade from previous versions of BP/WP?

I’m having the same problem with no registration page and have membership enabled. http://www.scifispace.com/blog

I have to fix a lot of the templates yet, but without registration working, little point on it.

Also noticed I get errors trying to change the avatar – says there was an error cropping it, please try again.

Your theme is possibly trying to make fluid images that resize in a responsive manner if those rules happen to target the crop screen then it will muck it up.
