@r-a-y from your note in this thread you have Display Name showing in users’ profile page. Do you have any idea why it doesn’t show up in mine? Is there a common mistake people make that takes First Name, Last Name, Nick and Display Name out of the Buddy Press profile and the registration form?

Anyone have any advice for me on this line 281 problem?

I am getting the same error msg, but it is returned when trying to upload any kind of avatar:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /path/to/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php on line 281

Line 281 is:

$bp->avatar_admin->image->url = str_replace( WP_CONTENT_DIR, BP_AVATAR_URL, $bp->avatar_admin->image->dir );

I had previously had trouble with avatar uploads and found the advice on changing the small code segment “if ( !$path = get_option( …”

That worked sort of — couldn’t get avatars to align without forcing some things into the various loop php files — but now I can’t get any files uploaded.

The change is that I installed the newest beta of WP 3.0 so I don’t know if this new “catchable error” report is of any assistance at all.

I had found some similar references, not specifically to BP and avatars, but people having problems uploading files into posts and I recall some references made to ms-sites.php.

I have only one site, the base site, build is configured to use folders not subdomains, and I am seeing lots of problems with pathing to the elusive uploads directory.

I do know that I was not getting a BP-related error until I upgraded my install from MU 2.92 to Beta 3.0.
