Will I have issues upgrading to BuddyPress 2.4.0 since it includes its own member profile cover photos and makes changes to group home page styling? … I’m leary of updating if it is going to break anything.

Source: https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/version-2-4-0/

• Introduce cover photos for member profiles (#6570)
• Allow profile fields to be restricted to users belonging to one or more member types (#5192
• Enable richtext editing for profile 'textarea' fields (#5625, #6722)
• Introduce cache support when fetching profile fields or profile groups (#6638)
• Accessibility improvements (#6655)

You can turn it off in BP settings.

Buuuut, its always better to wait until Kleo is compatible. Who knows how they will end up handling this, but even if you were to disable the cover photo plugin and use the new BP stuff, the current version of Kleo doesnt have the new BP profile cover upload form, so its all pretty pointless.

Hi, thanks @sharmstr

Right now you can stick with our plugin functionality and next week we will be updating the plugin to somehow use the bp default functionality and make a smooth transition

Cheers
