Disable user profile pictures

By Ubunfu on 24 Jul 2012 at 22:36 UTC

I've looked all around the forums, and many people ask about disabling user profile pictures here and there, in the forums or just for pages etc. I would like to globally disable the profile picture functionality, ideally not even give users the option to upload a profile picture. I refuse to believe you can't do this, but I've had a very hard time figuring out how. I have gone into user settings and disabled picture support, and I have gone into adminbar > site building > themes > configure and disabled "user pictures in posts" and "user pictures in comments". This is helpful, but users can still have a profile picture, which I can't allow. I would really appreciate any help anyone can offer me!

Thanks,
Ryan

Sorry about that...somehow I missed that in your original post.

Do you mean to say that even with the picture support turned off, users can still upload a picture? That doesn't sound right.

Fixed

Ah, I found the issue! While staring into the soul of the permissions page, I noticed it said they take effect unless overwritten by the theme files...so I went into my mess of a theme directory and found the comment.tpl.php file. Turns out all i needed to do was comment out a bit of that that inserted the picture. Thanks again for posting anyway.
