Title: Upload photo using Gravity Forms User Registration Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Upload photo using Gravity Forms User Registration * [tystra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tystra/) * (@tystra) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-photo-using-gravity-forms-user-registration/) * Hi there, my theme uses your plugin for the users photo and I am registering users using Gravity Forms User Registration add-on. When I connect the file upload in gravity forms to the custom field “cupp_upload_meta” it uploads with no problem in the back-end of the user profile. However, on the front-end, the image doesn’t take effect and does not display at all. * Do you know why this may be happening, or is there another custom field that is involved that I am missing? Or has anyone else tried with Gravity Forms User Registration and been successful? * Any help of direction appreciated, thank you. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-user-profile-photo/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-user-profile-photo/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [prodesignra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prodesignra/) * (@prodesignra) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-photo-using-gravity-forms-user-registration/#post-6542626) * This would be useful for me as well!

Even if I click “Update User” in the back-end, the front-end still does not display it. Any help from admin or anyone is much appreciated! * [3five](https://wordpress.org/support/users/3five/) * (@3five) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-photo-using-gravity-forms-user-registration/#post-6542636) * Thank you for the update on this issue. We are working to see if we can resolve this with the use of gravity forms and the User Registration add on. * We will let you know as soon as we can if this is possible and if we can support it. * Thanks, 3five * [Markus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markusgt/) * (@markusgt) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-photo-using-gravity-forms-user-registration/#post-6542655) * I would love to have this too. * [HarroH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harroh/) * (@harroh) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-photo-using-gravity-forms-user-registration/#post-6542672) * Hi Guys, * We had the same issue. Problem is that Gravity Forms uploads its images in a separated folder, not wanting to contaminate the media library with uploads via forms. A noble idea but that creates a problem with this plugin as the get_cupp_meta() function only checks for images that are in the media library. So when using Gravity Forms User Registration, Gravity Forms actually does update the correct meta values but the get_cupp_meta cannot find the image and will return your gravatar image or blank. * So what you need to do it hook into the Gravity Forms after submit hook and run a sideload to put the image into the media library and update the cupp meta values. This way get_cupp_meta() can find the image and will return the correct URL. * Example code: * ``` add_action( 'gform_after_submission, 'gf_process_user_update', 10, 2 ); function gf_process_user_update( $entry, $form ) { foreach ( $form['fields'] as &$field ) : if ( strpos( $field->cssClass, 'gform_user_photo' ) !== false ) : if ( !empty( $entry[$field->id] ) ) : if ( !function_exists('media_handle_upload') ) { require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/image.php'); require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/file.php'); require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/media.php'); } $new_photo_url = $entry[$field->id]; $new_photo_src = media_sideload_image( $new_photo_url, 0, null, 'src' ); if ( !is_wp_error( $new_photo_url ) ) : global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); update_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'cupp_meta', '' ); update_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'cupp_upload_meta', $new_photo_src ); update_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'cupp_upload_edit_meta', '' ); endif; endif; endif; endforeach; } ``` * [alohadavid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alohadavid/) * (@alohadavid) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-photo-using-gravity-forms-user-registration/#post-6542674) * I would love to have this too!! 🙂 Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Upload photo using Gravity Forms User Registration’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/custom-user-profile-photo_e4e4e4. svg) * [Custom User Profile Photo](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-user-profile-photo/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-user-profile-photo/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-user-profile-photo/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-user-profile-photo/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-user-profile-photo/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-user-profile-photo/reviews/) * 6 replies * 6 participants * Last reply from: [alohadavid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alohadavid/) * Last activity: [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-photo-using-gravity-forms-user-registration/#post-6542674) * Status: not resolved
