Reply To: Image replacement with local avatar
check your avatar settings on WP first. By default it should be Mystery Man ( i would recommend to let this setting as is). If you activate Gravatar, your site will bind with Gravatar first. User that have no Gravatar account will then have a Mystery Man avatar instead.
This is pureWP admin stuff.
BP handles avatars on a member basis in a slightly different manner. Each user can change/upload his avatar from within his profile.
You’re using Salutation, a third party theme which is IMO complicated to use with BP, because it is a bit away from the WP theme standards.
You also use an old avatar plugin, which wasn’t updated since sept. 2011. So if you use WP 3.5.1 and BP 1.6.5 or 1.7, i doubt that this plugin will work correctly. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-local-avatars/
Let me suggest you this one: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-avatar-suggestions/
It’s not Mystery Man, it’s not Gravatar, but it handles your own avatar pictures or let your user free to choose there personnal one. And the plugin is working with Salutation and with BP 1.7 too.
