What it does
Open communities let anyone upload a profile picture, and sometimes those pictures are not right for the site. On a company intranet, a school portal, a dating site or a local community hub, one unsuitable avatar can make members uncomfortable. This plugin adds an approval step: uploaded user and group photos wait in a queue until a moderator checks them. You decide whether to moderate member photos, group photos or both, so the review effort matches the way your community works.
Moderation happens in dashboards inside the WordPress admin, with one-click approve and reject actions and bulk options for handling many uploads at once. Notifications keep site admins, group admins and members informed by email or through BuddyPress notifications, and you can edit the message text and switch each notification type on or off per moderation action. The plugin requires BuddyPress and works alongside other BuddyPress extensions, including BuddyPress Force Profile Photo.
Best for
- Company intranets built on BuddyPress
- Educational and dating community sites
- Local community portals with member and group profiles
