Thanks mo, you gave me the right concept needed. I tried setting the write permission to 777 and it still did not work. If that’s the case, then the GD Library must be the issue. I found this post https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/avatar-problem-upload-and-crop-works-but-not-showing-image/. I immediately called my host company and once GD Library was upgraded… that was it! I can now upload avatars. My buddypress site is now ready with avatar upload. Thanks! CASE RESOLVED.

Thanks Paul, I’ve been able to add the extra fields as suggested and displayed them on members page using echo bp_member_profile_data(‘field=the field name’); in members-loop
