<p>Whether you’re running a community site, a social network, or any BuddyPress-powered platform, Simple BuddyPress Signup Avatar helps you create a more engaging and personalized user experience from the very beginning. Simple Buddypress Signup Avatar enhances the BuddyPress registration process by allowing users to upload their avatar during sign-up.</p>
<p>This plugin is specifically designed for BuddyPress installations that use email confirmation and/or admin approval for new registrations. It provides a seamless integration with BuddyPress, offering customizable options for avatar uploads including file size limits, dimension restrictions, and image compression. Temporary avatars are securely stored and managed until account activation, whether through email confirmation or admin approval.</p>
<h3>Why this plugin?</h3>
<p>Getting users to upload avatars can be a challenge in BuddyPress communities. Unlike profile fields, avatars can’t be made mandatory. The issue is that a community with few real-user avatars can feel uninviting. Member directories and widgets end up looking dull and uninspiring. Too many default “mystery man” avatars floating around can give the impression that the social network is overrun with spammers.</p>
<p>One way to encourage users to upload an avatar is to make it the first thing they see when registering for your community. Simple BuddyPress Signup Avatar is a new plugin that adds avatar upload functionality to the registration form.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Avatar upload during BuddyPress registration</li>
<li>Compatible with BuddyPress email confirmation and admin approval processes</li>
<li>Customizable maximum file size and dimensions</li>
<li>Image compression options</li>
<li>Automatically removes EXIF data for privacy</li>
<li>Secure temporary file storage until account activation</li>
<li>Automatic cleanup of unused temporary avatars for unactivated accounts (weekly)</li>
<li>Live frontend preview functionality for uploaded avatars</li>
<li>Multilingual support. Currently available in the major languages: EN, DE, NL, FR, ES</li>
</ul>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 5.0 or higher</li>
<li>BuddyPress 5.0 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 7.2 or higher</li>
<li>BuddyPress must be configured to use email confirmation and/or admin approval for new registrations</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Once activated and configured, the avatar upload field will automatically appear in the BuddyPress registration form. Users can upload their avatar during registration. The avatar will be stored temporarily and will only be finalized once the user’s account is activated, either through email confirmation or admin approval.</p>
