So our dating site requires people to apply for membership and admins review it before activation, we use BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types to add Image field to the signup form so they can upload their photo for us to review first, its been working for over a year now and with some custom code to Buddypress files to show the image preview in the pending profile section of the users part we can view details before approving as a full user.

This custom coding was done in class-bp-members-admin.php and this was the code that worked:

<!— custom code for image preview and Verification —->

<?php
$user = get_user_by_email($signup->user_email);
$user_id = $user->ID;

$verification = esc_html( $fdata[ $pid ] );

if($pid==759)
{
global $wpdb;
$bp_xprofile_data = $wpdb->prefix.”bp_xprofile_data”;
$metadata = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT value FROM “.$bp_xprofile_data.” WHERE field_id=”.$pid.” AND user_id=”.$user_id.” “);

$url = “wp-content/uploads/”.$metadata;
$imgUrl = site_url($url);
?>

” width=”100%” alt=”<?php echo esc_html( $signup->user_name ); ?>” >
<?php
}
?>

Now not sure if since buddypress update 2 weeks ago or wordpress update, when using your pulgin to upload image in the registration form it no longer uploads the image and creates the file path for this code above to pull and show the image.

Been spending 2 days trying to figure out why your plugin has stopped uploading media.
