Go to Settings -> Miscellaneous Settings

Set “Store uploads in this folder” to “wp-content/uploads”

Set “Full URL path to files” to the REAL FULL PATH of your uploads

Then change bp-core-avatars.php line 389

Replace:

Code:

if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )
$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;

With:

Code:

if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )
$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;
else
$path = ABSPATH . $path;

It fixes the problem.

I think the problem arises installing WP on a subdomain which is also a subfolder

In my website, which is at http://people.mediaworks.name/blog (http://www.mediaworks.name/people/blog), uploading an image via

Admin Panel -> Media -> Add New

links to:

http://people.mediaworks.name/blog/http://people.mediaworks.name/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/avatar_file.jpg

BP creates the folders avatars and group-avatars in THE SAME subfolder:

http://people.mediaworks.name/blog/http://people.mediaworks.name/blog/wp-content/uploads
