Reply To: Avatars Not Showing with define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );
As of writing this, my understanding of the avatar-loading-code-in-question (bp_core_avatars.php) is:
IF in a multisite environment AND current blog is not the root blog THEN grab the upload path from the root blog and store it in the global bp_core_avatar_url variable.
If coding isn’t your thing (like it isn’t mine), the main thing you should take away from this is that you have to define your root blog. This is where I was failing. To set root blog, add
define( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', 1 );
to wp-config. 1 is the ID of the domain that you installed buddypress on. To find that ID, navigate to My Sites–>Network Admin–>Sites, then hover over the domain URL that you installed buddypress on and look at the URL path in the bottom left of your screen. The end of the path will look something like …/site-info.php?id=1.
Give that a go and see what happens. If you’re still SOL, right click on the broken avatar and click “Copy Image URL” and include that URL in your reply back to this thread.
