Share the same uploads dir for a BuddyPress multiblog set up

bp-custom.php

<?php
/**
 * Multiblog must have been set for it to work :)
 * 
 * eg: define( 'BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG', true );
 */ 

function rbaccaro_set_multiblog_shared_upload_dir() {
  if ( ! bp_is_multiblog_mode() ) {
    return;
  }

  $current_site = get_current_site();

  if ( (int) bp_get_root_blog_id() !== (int) $current_site->blog_id ) {
    $switched = true;
    switch_to_blog( $current_site->blog_id );
  }

  buddypress()->upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();

  if ( ! empty( $switched ) ) {
    restore_current_blog();
  }
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'rbaccaro_set_multiblog_shared_upload_dir', 1 );

Hi @imath,

That worked just fine.

Thank you again,

@imath I've tried this great looking piece of code on my multiblog but it does not work, it shows a grey area on the main site and subsite after uploading an image.

Is there a fix for this?

thanks, thought I'd just mention this still works

Just chiming in to say this worked like a charm. Thank you!!

Hello,

Thanks so much for creating this plugin. Can I get a couple of tips please to get it working? So far, I have done the following, but Cover Photos and Avatar images are still not syncing for the Groups and Members.

Here is what I've tried so far:

1. Activated Multiblog with define( 'BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG', true );
2. Made a new directory in main directory>Plugins>bp-custom
3. Created a new text file and pasted your code above.

However the solution is not working at the moment. Any ideas how to fix? I would really appreciate your guidance on this.

Thanks very much. 🙏
