Avatar Moderation

Avatar moderation holds newly uploaded profile and group photos for admin approval before they go live, so inappropriate images never appear in your community.

Go to WB Plugins → Moderation Pro → Avatar Moderation. The tab has two sub-tabs:

Avatar Moderation tab

  • Member Avatar - Toggle Enable member avatar moderation for profile photos.
  • Groups Avatar - Toggle Enable group avatar moderation for group photos.

Each sub-tab also configures its own emails:

  • Admin Notification - Send the admin an email when a new photo needs review, with an editable subject and message.
  • User Approval Email - Optionally send the uploader a BuddyPress notification and email when their photo is approved.
  • User Rejection Email - Optionally notify the uploader when their photo is rejected.

The BuddyPress notification options require the BuddyPress Notifications component to be active.

  1. A member or group admin uploads a new avatar.
  2. The upload is held as pending and is not shown to other members.
  3. The submission appears under the Avatar Mods menu in wp-admin.
  4. The reviewer opens the submission, previews the image, and chooses Approve or Reject.
  5. On approval the avatar becomes visible; on rejection the pending file is removed and the uploader is notified if rejection emails are enabled.

Moving a pending avatar submission to Trash automatically rejects it.
