I also tried this fix but that code does not exist in my file.
bp-core-avatars.php line 389
Replace
if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )
$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;
With:
if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )
$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;
else
$path = ABSPATH . $path;
and then in “Settings >> Miscellaneous” simply kept “Store uploads in this folder” as wp-content/uploads and in “Full URL path to files” added the full url path of the uploads folder: http://www.yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads
Dont know if this helps any1 reading but I followed directions from 1 of the links above.
I deleted the folder that stores the avatars.
Then, I tried the “change avatar” or upload process again and…
I checked the folders on the server, it created new folders for the avatar
and the permissions are 777 but
no avatar
?????
Thats strange to me that it can create new folders but has trouble putting the file in the folder.
