Can admin replace a member’s avatar?

    Since our avatar crop tool isn’t working right is there a way I can fix/replace/remove a members’ avatar? I don’t see any tools for that in the front or back end.

    TIA!

    You can manually add a member avatar to your avatar directory.

    eg.
    example.com/wp-content/uploads/avatars/USER_ID/hldkfhlaskjhdfljsdfdf-bpfull.jpg
    example.com/wp-content/uploads/avatars/USER_ID/hldkfhlaskjhdfljsdfdf-bpthumb.jpg

    The suffixes are important as BP will pick up any image with the “-bpfull.jpg” suffix or the “-bpthumb.jpg” suffix.

    If you only have to do this once, then this is sufficient.

    If you want to replace all the member avatars with a default one, try reading this:

    WoW that was a pain. There’s no other way to do this? I hope that’s in the works for the new version… sigh.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi r-a-y. Once you add the files and subdirectory to your avatar directory, how do I connect the avatars to the users?

    Eric – You don’t have to, as long as you’ve got them in the correct user_id directory. BP doesn’t store avatar information in the database, it just looks for files in the appropriate directory.
