BuddyBoss uploads uploading to the server not to Cloudinary

Hi,

I have set up a BoddyBoss WordPress website where people can upload images to groups. When I add images to the website, images are uploaded to Cloudinary and it works fine. But when anything is uploaded through BoddyBoss they are uploaded to the server and not Cloudinary. 

I have spoken to BuddyBoss already and their response is below

"I would like to let you know that I received your concern about ​Cloudinary offloading media.

To set your exception, Cloudinary is not included on our integration list and the BuddyBoss Platform and Theme doesn't have this functionality out of the box, or available shortcode/workaround to change the folder path of media. I also want you to know that the image source that been uploaded on buddyboss does not have a direct image path for security purposes.
​
You can ask assistance to Cloudinary on how to include specific path of the Buddyboss media.
​
​Let me know if you have additional questions on this matter and we would be happy to assist your further."
 
Just wanted to know if there is some code or something I can add to the website to change the path so that when someone uploads an image through the BuddyBoss platform it goes on the Cloudinary server instead of the WordPress server.

    Hi Penny,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    You might be able to use the Syncing additional assets feature of our plugin: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/wordpress_integration#syncing_additional_assets.

    You should be able to select the BuddyBoss plugin in the list and if there are no restrictions on their side, we should be able to sync those assets.

    Please let me know if that helps.

    Best,

    Loic

    Hi Loic,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I have had a look at the Syncing additional assets section. As I only want everything that is uploaded to be on the Cloudinary server I have just selected the Content -> Uploads section. 

    I can see that the uploaded images are being uploaded to the Cloudinary server but when I enable the cloudinary status to check to see where the images are being referenced they are saying WordPress.

    Below is the path that the images are also being uploaded to.

    Hi Penny,

    Thanks for sharing this.

    It seems we are not able to pick up the assets under the buddyboss folder. I have created a ticket for the team so they can investigate but for now I don't see a way to sync those assets.

    I'll keep you posted on our progress.

    Best,

    Loic

    +1 for me, too. And, while we're at, the BuddyBoss app as well.
