Changing the avatar size on the Members page

I’ve seen many threads about changing the avatar size, but I just can’t seem to get it to work. I’m using the default Buddypress theme, and I’m trying to change the size of the avatars on the Members page (i-e: the page with the list of all members) from the default of 30px x 30px.

I’ve tried changing bp_member_avatar() to bp_member_avatar(‘type=full&width=75&height=75′) in /bp-themes/bp-default/members/members-loop.php as well as in /bp-core/bp-core-widgets.php, but it hasn’t worked. For the first, the page couldn’t load after the header, and for the second, it gave me an error saying that the ‘=’ was unexpected (I then changed the single quote to a double quote, and the error stopped appearing, but it didn’t change the avatar size).

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

bp-core-widgets.php is a core file, you should try to avoid editing core files if possible.

Open members/member-loop.php and change the bp_member_avatar function to

<?php bp_member_avatar( 'type=thumb&height=30&width=30' ); ?>

@henrywright-1 @aces Thanks for the answers, but none of those two work… Any other ideas?

What do you mean? I’m not removing anything from members-loop.php…

You said my solution to remove the bp_member_avatar function in members-loop.php and replace it with <?php bp_member_avatar( 'type=thumb&height=30&width=30' ); ?> didn’t work?

i wanted to know the exact code you are replacing in that file.

Here’s a part of the code:
```
	<?php do_action( 'bp_before_directory_members_list' ); ?>

	<ul id="members-list" class="item-list" role="main">

	<?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); ?>

		<li>
			<div class="item-avatar">
				<a href="<?php bp_member_permalink(); ?>"><?php bp_member_avatar( 'type=full&width=750&height=750' ); ?></a>
			</div>

			<div class="item">
				<div class="item-title">
					<a href="<?php bp_member_permalink(); ?>"><?php bp_member_name(); ?></a>

					<?php if ( bp_get_member_latest_update() ) : ?>

						<span class="update"> <?php bp_member_latest_update(); ?></span>

					<?php endif; ?>
```

Ah OK.

Remove this bit

<?php bp_member_avatar( 'type=full&width=750&height=750' ); ?>

and replace it with

<?php bp_member_avatar( 'type=thumb&height=30&width=30' ); ?>

Thanks for all the help, but it still doesn’t work when I do that…

if you want to make the avatar a bit bigger you could try

<?php bp_member_avatar( 'type=thumb&height=100&width=100' ); ?>

There is a really good article on how to do this with CSS:
