After activating BuddyPress, my existing users’ profiles show the following error message on the live site:

Warning: Missing argument 5 for bp_core_fetch_avatar_filter() in /home/sitename/public_html/inside/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php on line 479

I deactivated the plug-in because the site is live and I don’t want this error code showing. Any suggestions for how to fix this?

Here is the code on line 479 (referenced in error):

function bp_core_fetch_avatar_filter( $avatar, $user, $size, $default, $alt ) {

I had the exact same issue. What fixed it for me was removing “, $alt” from the line. voila, error be gone.

I had the same problem, and this page is ranking in google for the error message, so for future reference:

I had the “Avatars” plugin installed — disabling it made the error go away (Buddypress provides the functionality I need)
