Let me first say this is not a multisite. This is a separate install in a subdomain used for development and testing.

How do I get the avatars working? It keeps looking for them in the main domain.

`function nfm_bp_avtar_upload_path_correct($path){
if ( bp_core_is_multisite() ){
$path = ABSPATH . get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG,

‘upload_path’ );
}
return $path;
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_avatar_upload_path’,

‘nfm_bp_avtar_upload_path_correct’, 1);

function nfm_bp_avatar_upload_url_correct($url){
if ( bp_core_is_multisite() ){
$url = get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG, ‘siteurl’ ) .

“/wp-content/uploads”;
}
return $url;
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_avatar_url’, ‘nfm_bp_avatar_upload_url_correct’,

1);`

I tried the above with no luck.

The above old code is for multisite, while your install is not one per your first post.

== It keeps looking for them in the main domain. ==

I have one test site in physical subdomain and have no problems with avatars
– WP/BP versions?
– Are you using bp-default theme?
– Installed WP in root of subdomain?
– Installed WP via fantastico or simplescripts etc? Ditch that and start from scratch and do manual installation – FTP/cpanel upload, etc.
– Is GD library installed in your server? What kind of server are you on?

I fixed it. I just went into the WP options in the admin (wp-admin/options.php) and changed everything that was mydomain.com to dev.mydomain.com. I think the upload path was the key.

I guess a search and replace in the phpmyadmin would have also worked but this was less risky.
