BuddyPress.org

The issue seems to be related to the Profile Settings

Profile Photo Uploads Allow registered members to upload avatars

which is infact making profile avatar required!

I am using word press social login https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-social-login/

Thanks Henry – is there somewhere where the Buddy press php could be causing this – as I really want to use that plugin, it is the same with other social login plugins… what happens is the oAuth API’s “pull” the avatar but this is not 100% compatible with Buddypress.

I am hoping that a simple “recipe” could resolve this – something like: if no avatar then ok?
what seems to be happening is when I sign up the first page I go to is

http://mysite.com/members/wiziwiz/profile/change-avatar/

looking deeper in the code is see this is controlled by Buddypress code <?php do_action( ‘bbp_template_notices’ ); ?> and as I said before turning off

Allow registered members to upload avatars

fixes it

perhaps something related to this change avatar code could remove the block

// Change Avatar
	case 'change-avatar' :
		bp_get_template_part( 'members/single/profile/change-avatar' );
		break;
