started happening on my site too…no idea why…no solution yet…
That string is not present in BuddyPress itself. It must be coming from the plugin described here: https://buddydev.com/buddypress/force-buddypress-users-to-upload-profile-photo/
Be sure to check for wp-content/plugins/bp-force-profile-photo
in your filesystem, and the Plugins screen on both the Dashboard and the Network Admin (assuming you’re running Multisite).
the only plugin i have that has the word “force” in it is “force regenerate thumbnails,” which was quite useful…
i deactivated it just now…
the word from me and my tech team:
“it’s either Bill Gates or gremlins”
- i do not have this setting set anywhere.
- i do not have plugins installed that would cause such functionality.
If you’re able, search your codebase for the string. It *must* be there somewhere. If you have SSH access:
$ grep -nR "Please upload your profile photo to start using this site" wp-content/plugins
Repeat for mu-plugins
and themes
.
Hello,
I also have this problem and I can’t find any solution – I dont run a multisite, the template fellows also deny that it is in their coding.
@axcelluloid Please try to debug at your site using default WordPress theme and keeping BuddyPress plugin only at your site. Inside your site, it must be some custom code or 3rd party plugin which is adding those warnings.
