    Hello,

    I got about 103 new not spam users on my site last week, but only 3 uploaded profile pictures. Is there a way to force adding a Profile Picture on sign up/registration page? so if the new user trys to create an account without a pic they would get an Incomplete Field warning and not be able to move forward unless changed.

    If not simply adding the ability to ad a ProPic on the registration page would probably help alot.

    Let me know.

    HI, That is not possible by default and also not advised to allow uploading files before registration.
    Try BudyPress Signup Avatar but I can’t guarantee it works. Try searching for solutions of Buddypress forums or on Internet related to Buddypress avatar upload.

    Also this code will display on your site only the users with an added avatar: https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/hide-members-without-avatars?view=all#post-15504

    This options does not come with the theme so you need a custom solution or an already available plugin to achieve that

    I also nee this… You should add to your next updated a pop message asking an already registered user to upload the avatar if not done already. This is a must!

    Hi..
    For my site and to force/make users add their profile pictures and block spammers I use a registration plugin.
    You can manually activate/approve the members.
    In the setting of this plugin, when I member signs in: He gets this message:

    “Your membership account is awaiting approval by your site. We do NOT tolerate fake profiles and any other fraud in such means. To protect our members, you will not be able to fully interact with social aspects of this website until your account is approved. Once approved or denied you will receive an email notice. Please correctly update your profile and upload your avatar(profile picture) within the next 24 hours, avoiding possible deactivation or deletion of your profile and account.”

    Meaning the users will not get access before they upload a profile picture.
    If the users even dont want to upload a avatar, consider them spammers anyway.

    Regards
