I am using echo get_avatar( get_the_author_id(), ‘100’ )’ to display a small avatar on non-buddypress areas of my site. But they are coming out VERY low quality. I think this is calling out the tiny version of the avatar and blowing it up.

What part of the code do I need to change to get the regular avatar? Thanks!

If you look at the URL in the output, does it display better when you load it directly in a web browser? Can you share the URL?

Hi @DJPaul ! Here is the url I am getting: http://www.terrorsofmen.com/wp-content/uploads/avatars/2/94984fdedaabe60ce4c75a47307d2eba-bpthumb.jpg

it Needs to be: http://www.terrorsofmen.com/wp-content/uploads/avatars/2/94984fdedaabe60ce4c75a47307d2eba-bpfull.jpg

I need bpfull instead of bpthumb. I have tried every combination I can think of with ‘type=full’ ‘size=full’ ‘full’ etc but no luck. If you have any idea I’d really appreciate it, my site goes live tomorrow and I’d like to have the avatars looking nice.

Thanks!!

As a temporary fix I changed the avatars defualt in bp-core-avatars.php from ‘thumb’ to ‘full’. This works for now but I feel it may slow down my site in the future. If anyone has the full solution let me know!

I have faced the same issue and as above didnt want to edit the core files. I looked through and did it with js.. It worked for me
I am putting it below for all who has been looking for a solution and if you have a better solution please update that too
`
jQuery(‘.avatar’).each(function(){
// Replacing the -bpthumb with -bpfull for higher resolution images.
var source = jQuery(this).attr(‘src’);
var startIndex = source.lastIndexOf(‘-‘);
var endIndex = source.lastIndexOf(‘.’);
var removeValue = source.substring(startIndex, endIndex);
if(‘-bpthumb’ == removeValue){
var newSource = source.replace(removeValue, ‘-bpfull’);
jQuery(this).attr(‘src’, newSource);
}
});
`
