Im actually just getting started but it really looks promising. * Im just wondering if there is the possibility to deactivate the option for users to upload cover image and profile picture.

Go on plugin Generar Settings ([http://yourpage.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=pm_settings](http://yourpage.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=pm_settings)) then click on Uploads ([http://yourpage.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=pm_upload_settings](http://yourpage.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=pm_upload_settings)) and for all value put 0 (zero) and save! * This will prevent users from uploading cover or profile pictures in their profiles. * Thread Starter [karlmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karlmann/) * (@karlmann) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deactivate-user-upload/#post-11347374) * [@bosnaml](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bosnaml/) hey, thank you so much for taking your time again! and compliments for being able to think outside the box, unlike me… 😉 your solution for this is really great and simple.. shame on me I didnt find out myself, its so obvious 😉 * P.S. there is another thing I dont understand about the plugin. when I hover over “Howdy, username” to manage my account and click on my name it directs to“ Edit Profile” instead of “My Profile”. When I click on my user name or avatar I actually want the website to always direct to view My Profile area. * [https://www.upload.ee/image/9733664/editpr.jpg](https://www.upload.ee/image/9733664/editpr.jpg) * Do you also know how to fix that? because I couldnt really find an option for this… * If not np.. I wish you a nice weekend and thanks for everything. - This reply was modified 7 years, 2 months ago by [karlmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karlmann/). - This reply was modified 7 years, 2 months ago by [karlmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karlmann/). * Plugin Author [ProfileGrid Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/profilegrid0/) * (@profilegrid0) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deactivate-user-upload/#post-11352004) * Hello Karlmann, * Thank you for the positive feedback. * Profile Image and Cover Image are two of the most essential components of ProfileGrid User Profiles.
