I just had this missing avatar issue after upgrading to 1.2.4 from 1.2.3. My BP site is a standalone installation and not a subblog of WPMU.

I resolved this by creating a bp-custom.php file in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/ and adding the following:

define( ‘BP_AVATAR_URL’, ‘http://prorc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads’ );

This thread helped me solve this issue nice and quickly, thanks : )

This worked a treat for me!

If you need to find your “Full URL path to files” you can find your DOCUMENT_ROOT by using phpinfo(); and adding “wp-content/uploads” to the end.

e.g:
Store uploads in this folder “wp-content/uploads”
Full URL path to files “/home/ACCOUNT/public_html/wp-content/uploads”

How can I create a phpinfo.php page? Try this link:

Be aware that copying the code directly from @gian-ava will copy the wrong type of single quotes as @shaista points out above.

To check that your image is being uploaded take a look in /public_html/wp-content/uploads/group-avatars on your server
