which theme are u using? any cover photo plugin u using?
Hi,
I’m using the BRIDGE theme. I am using the UserPro plugin, but that handles user profiles and avatars and coded to work with Buddypress.
Thanks,
John
You have to debug.
Deactivate all plugins except BP and try again with one of Twenty theme.
If you use a cache software, clear it before testing.

I disabled ALL plugins except for the Buddypress plugin. I am also using the Twenty Fifteen theme. The error is still happening when I go to change the photo (avatar) in the Buddypress group: ““Upload Failed! Error was: That photo is too big. Please upload one smaller than”
1. Can you please provide more information on how to fix this issue?
2. You mentioned “cache software”… Should I have a cache software installed to clear the cache?
3. You also mentioned debugging. When I read the content on the page you provided a link for, it talks about developers and using debugging during development. How does this apply to my situation?
Kindly address each of the 3 questions above so I can clearly understand what to do.
Thanks!
John
@pfeufer start from here…see if you got the basic requirements on for BP install
Getting Started
My host supports all those and my wordpress is the latest. Stil having this issue since the latest bp upgrade.
Hi Stacy,
I found the solution to this issue on another forum:
Copy and paste the following code into to the functions.php of your child theme:
add_filter( ‘bp_core_avatar_original_max_filesize’, function() {
return 5120000; // 5mb
} );
Can a Moderator post this solution in a “sticky” post? This is the solution, but people have to waste A LOT of time going different routes when the fix is in this code. Thanks!
