Hello,

I use BP 2.4.3 with my own theme that I made from scratch. Everything seems to work fine, except the cover Image function. When I upload a picture I recieve a error message, that reads: For better results, make sure to upload an image that is larger than 0px wide, and 225px tall. And because the with is 0 no picture is seen.

To encircle the problem I switched over to the bp-default theme that vame with the pugin. There is noch cover upload option at all. I then switched over to the twentyfifteen (all themes are provided with the same additional buddypress files of course). I seen the function and the already uploaded image (that I uploaded from my own theme) in a perfect manner.

So, I’m pretty sure that the theme locks or unlocks this function. But I can’t figure out what the diffrences are that unlocks this function in my theme.

It would bee cool if someone had the same problems and also the solution.

Best wishes
Holger

In my own exploration, it seems as though Social Chef does NOT support cover images – there on none on the example site on themeforest.

I do intend to implement them myself in a child theme.

This is happening to me as well. I use Genesis as my theme. No custom cover photo sizes have been set either. I find it strange that the error is 0px.

I had the same problem. I could upload an cover image but got the warning “For better results, make sure to upload an image that is larger than 0px wide, and 225px tall. ”

After entering the following code in /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php i could i could upload the image. but it is still not showing.
```
function your_theme_xprofile_cover_image( $settings = array() ) {
        $settings['width']  = 640;
        $settings['height'] = 300;
	$settings['default_cover'] = '/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/blog_header_640x300.jpg';
 
    return $settings;
}
add_filter( 'bp_before_xprofile_cover_image_settings_parse_args', 'your_theme_xprofile_cover_image', 10, 1 ); // for the members Cover Images
add_filter( 'bp_before_groups_cover_image_settings_parse_args', 'your_theme_xprofile_cover_image', 10, 1 ); // for the groups Cover Images
```
To test if i can show an cover image i did enter the following CSS code with Firebug and the cover image will show. Unfortunnaly not the one i uploaded 🙁
```
#buddypress #header-cover-image
height: 300px;
width: 640px;
background-image: url('/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/blog_header_640x300.jpg');
```
I think i experience this problems because i’m using a child theme, but not sure for that.
See my post: Cover image in child theme

@fearthemoose, a solution is partially given in this topic. Check just the correct way to write the function from here:

BuddyPress Cover Images

It’s important also to try first with a Twenty theme, as the issue could came from your theme or another plugin as BP.
