  • Concerning the avatars not uploading part, here is what worked for me.
    I run WP 3.1.1 with BP 1.2.8 and I was not able to upload an avatar. After setting the correct permissions, the upload process created an empty directory – no image was uploaded and accordingly, the avatar didn’t change.
    I searched and read posts for hours until I figured that I was missing the GD library of PHP. One figures this out by putting “ in a file on their server and going to the corresponding address (i.e. http://www.mysite.com/phpinfo.php – phpinfo.php being the file you just created). If GD is not listed at all or GD Support is listed as disabled, then you need PHP with GD. If you run the server, that would be done by installing php5-gd (e.g., `sudo apt-get install php5-gd`).
    Hope this helps someone.
