Change Max File Size Upload for Cover Photo

When users attempt to upload a cover photo, they are greeted with an error;
“BBM_7134.jpg exceeds the maximum upload size of 5MB for this site.”
I can’t find a way to increase this value anywhere.

My WordPress upload max is set to 512MB.

I’d be ok with a functions.php edit, or a wp-config.php edit.

I’d like to increase it to around 10MB.

Thanks!

Use this filter hook and write a function:
apply_filters( 'bp_attachments_get_max_upload_file_size', $fileupload_maxk, $type );

I used this for both the Avatar and the Cover Image;
```
add_filter( 'bp_core_avatar_original_max_filesize', function() {
    return 26214400; // 25mb
} );
add_filter( 'bp_attachments_get_max_upload_file_size', function() {
    return 26214400; // 25mb
} );
```
Do you see any issues doing it like this?
It works, but wondering if it’s going to mess anything else up along the way.
