How to let people create their own cover photo.

@mm7916mm7916

For a Cover photo upload from Registration form you need to install
a free UM basic Extension: “Cover Photo Uploader in Register Form”

https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1782-cover-photo-uploader-in-register-form

You have the Installation guide here:

https://ultimatemember.github.io/docs-v3/extended/installation.html

Thanks for the info, Veronica!

I installed the entire Extended file and it shows up on the left-hand menu as seen here: https://worshipconsulting.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=um-extended

But the main window (on the right) is “blank” when I click on UM Extended on the left. What am I doing wrong?

@mm7916mm7916

Deactivate this plugin and install only the
“Cover Photo Uploader in Register Form” plugin.

Which version of the extended plugin did you download?

I actually downloaded both the full extended package and the individual one, not knowing which one would work. When I try to upload a new cover image, I get the error, “ERROR: SyntaxError: Unexpected token ‘N’, “Nothin’?” is not valid JSON”.

@mm7916mm7916

I tried the standalone version of the plugin without any issues.
Maybe you have a Theme/Plugin conflict with UM in both cases.

Try to do a Theme/Plugin conflict test.

I removed the individual plugin and it worked with the extended plugin! Thanks.

Now on my member directories page, if I want to update the cover image, when I click “Edit Profile”, it takes me to the wrong page. Where do I go to update that particular page? The page I’m trying to click the “Edit Profile” on is: https://worshipconsulting.com/churches-hiring/.

@mm7916mm7916

Yes, you upload new Cover photos from the Profile page.

First you must “Enable Cover Photos” in the Profile form’s right column.

To upload new Cover photo you click on the cog wheel for Profile edit
and then click on the Cover photo to get the Upload modal.

It’s similar to Profile photo upload

Hi Miss Veronica,

I think I have all of this part set up properly, if I’m understanding it correctly.

My greatest challenge overall is separating the “Users” side Profile from the “Churches” side Profile. On the “Users” side (https://worshipconsulting.com/job-applicants/) of the Member Directory, I’m wanting the person’s information and their profile picture to appear, but not the Cover photo. On the “Churches” side (https://worshipconsulting.com/churches-hiring/) I’m wanting just the opposite: I want church’s job listing and the Cover Photo to appear (i.e. the church’s logo) but not the Profile of a person (since it is the church).

For some reason, these two areas are getting crossed, where if I edit one, it affects the other. For example, if I am on the churches hiring page and click “Edit Profile”, it shows the Cover Photo, but also displays the Profile image (with Avatar image) in front of it, even though it is disabled. And on the User (Job Applicant) page, is should the person’s profile correctly, but an empty gray Cover Photo background (I only want the Profile photo to appear here with no option for the Cover Photo)

Referencing above, an example of the Church hiring Profile page is here: https://worshipconsulting.com/user/zbalentine/?um_action=edit

While an example of the User (Job Applicant) page is here: https://worshipconsulting.com/user/mmattingly/?um_action=edit

(both show a sub-folder of “user”) – is this correct? I also don’t see a “Cog” in the upper-right corner?!?!

Is there any way you can take a quick look at this and let me know specifically what I need to do to fix this, please?

You must assign different Roles to your Member groups.
For each of these Roles you must make two Profile forms assigned to the Role.
Members directories can also be made to display each Role.

Ok, Thanks for your patience and all your help!

On my member directories, I have only “Church Hiring” as the only user role to display for Churches Hiring, while I have only “Job Applicants” as the only user role to display for the member directory Job Applicant.

Q #1 – To assign different roles to Member Groups, are member groups the same as member directories?
Q #2 – Are you also saying for each User Role, I need 2 profile forms? So 2 profile forms for the user role of Job Applicant and 3 profile forms for the user role, Church Hiring? 4 User profiles?

@mm7916mm7916

One Profile Form and one Members Directory for each Role.

https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1513-member-directories-2-1-0

“Groups” is an UM paid extension not supported here in this Forum.

Thanks for the links. This helps.

How do I remove the profile photo from showing at all on this page? https://worshipconsulting.com/user/ad7916/?um_action=edit. I have it disabled on the right hand side, but I don’t want the profile photo to appear at all (I do want the Cover Photo to appear, which this part is working fine).

@mm7916mm7916

Try to Edit the Profile and Remove the Photo,
maybe you need to make the Form accept Profile photos first.

I have tried literally everything I can think of and anything I have found so far! My Cover photo works great, but I have the little gray avatar showing up in the bottom left of the Cover photo on my profile page. Is this not the profile photo? I can’t seem to update it OR to delete it! An example is on: https://worshipconsulting.com/user/add7916/
