BuddyPress.org

I forgot the comma above, should be a comma after ‘full’ , like so …

return bp_core_fetch_avatar( array(
  'type' 	 => 'full',
  'item_id'	 => $user->ID,
  'width'	 => 80,
  'height'	 => 80,
  ) );
}

Also re. Avatar size, first try adding ‘type = full’ into the array, should allow you to specify larger sizes, as below …

return bp_core_fetch_avatar( array(
  'type' 	 => 'full'
  'item_id'	 => $user->ID,
  'width'	 => 80,
  'height'	 => 80,
  ) );
}

Re. avatar size, not sure, you can try putting a span around your shortcode, give it a class and with CSS try to force the avatar size.

Or you can add a class into the fetch_avatar array and try that way.

See: https://www.buddyboss.com/resources/reference/functions/bp_core_fetch_avatar/

Try this for your avatar display.

Your shortcode syntax would look like …

[showavatar username=”johnsmith”]

You can change width & height to your preference.

function show_avatar ($atts) {

$user = get_user_by( 'login' , $atts['username'] );
	
return bp_core_fetch_avatar( array(
  'item_id'	 => $user->ID,
  'width'	 => 50,
  'height'	 => 50,
  ) );
}

add_shortcode( 'showavatar' , 'show_avatar' );

Salut ! Effectivement, BuddyPress ne supprime pas automatiquement les avatars des utilisateurs lorsque leurs comptes sont supprimés. Cependant, tu peux gérer ce problème en ajoutant un peu de code personnalisé à ton thème ou dans un plugin spécifique. Voici comment tu pourrais procéder pour supprimer les avatars lors de la suppression des comptes d’utilisateurs :

1- Crée un hook dans ton fichier functions.php ou dans un plugin spécifique :
Utilise l’action bp_remove_user ou wpmu_delete_user, delete_user selon la configuration de ton réseau si tu es en multisite ou pas.
2- Ajoute le code suivant pour supprimer l’avatar lorsqu’un utilisateur est supprimé :

function remove_user_avatar_on_delete($user_id) {
    // Vérifie si l'utilisateur a un avatar
    $avatar_path = bp_core_fetch_avatar(array(
        'item_id' => $user_id,
        'html'    => false,
        'type'    => 'full',
        'no_grav' => true
    ));

    if ($avatar_path) {
        // Supprime le fichier avatar
        @unlink($avatar_path);
    }
}

// Hook pour la suppression de l'utilisateur
add_action('delete_user', 'remove_user_avatar_on_delete');
add_action('wpmu_delete_user', 'remove_user_avatar_on_delete');
add_action('bp_remove_user', 'remove_user_avatar_on_delete');

Note : Ce code utilise @unlink pour supprimer le fichier, qui supprime silencieusement le fichier sans afficher d’erreur si le fichier n’existe pas ou ne peut être supprimé. Assure-toi que le chemin de l’avatar est correctement récupéré.

3- Teste le code : Avant de mettre ce code en production, teste-le dans un environnement de développement pour t’assurer qu’il fonctionne comme attendu sans effets secondaires.
Cela devrait aider à gérer le problème des fichiers d’avatar résiduels. Si tu as besoin de plus d’informations sur la fonction ou sur d’autres façons de gérer les fichiers avec WordPress et BuddyPress, n’hésite pas à demander !

Two ways to use your BP profile pic as your WordPress avatar:
1. Plugins:
Install and activate a plugin like “BuddyPress Default Avatar” or “BuddyPress Avatar Sync.”
These plugins automatically sync your BP profile photo with your WordPress avatar, making it a simple and hands-off solution.

2. Custom code:
If you prefer a more technical approach, you can add code to your theme’s functions.php file.
This code snippet will enable syncing of the two avatars:

PHP
function bp_avatar_sync($user_id) {
// Get BP profile picture URL
$bp_avatar_url = bp_core_fetch_avatar(array(‘item_id’ => $user_id, ‘type’ => ‘full’));

// Update WordPress avatar URL
update_user_meta($user_id, ‘user_avatar’, $bp_avatar_url);
}
add_action(‘bp_core_avatar_uploaded’, ‘bp_avatar_sync’);

Remember, both methods achieve the same result. Choose the method that best suits your technical skills and preferences.

To use your BP (BuddyPress) profile picture as the WordPress avatar, you can follow these steps:

Install and activate the “BuddyPress” plugin: Ensure that you have the BuddyPress plugin installed and activated on your WordPress site. This plugin adds social networking functionality, including user profiles, to your WordPress site.

Upload a profile picture in BuddyPress: Go to your BuddyPress profile and upload the desired profile picture. BuddyPress allows users to customize their profile information, including the profile picture. Typically, you can find the profile settings in the user dashboard or by navigating to your profile page on the front-end of your website.

Enable BuddyPress avatar syncing: By default, BuddyPress doesn’t automatically sync the profile picture with the WordPress avatar. You can enable this functionality by adding custom code to your theme’s functions.php file or by using a plugin specifically designed for this purpose.

Option 1: Custom code:
Open your theme’s functions.php file (Appearance > Theme Editor > functions.php) and add the following code snippet:

php
Copy code
function bp_sync_profile_picture_with_avatar( $avatar, $id_or_email, $size, $default, $alt ) {
if ( function_exists( ‘bp_core_fetch_avatar’ ) ) {
$avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array(
‘item_id’ => $id_or_email->user_id,
‘type’ => ‘full’,
‘html’ => false
) );
}
return $avatar;
}
add_filter( ‘get_avatar’, ‘bp_sync_profile_picture_with_avatar’, 10, 5 );
Option 2: Use a plugin:
Install and activate a plugin like “BuddyPress Default Avatar” or “BuddyPress Avatar Sync.” These plugins simplify the process by automatically syncing the BuddyPress profile picture with the WordPress avatar.

Verify the avatar sync: Log out of your WordPress account and visit your website as a guest or open an incognito/private browsing window. Leave a comment or view your author bio to see if the BuddyPress profile picture is now being used as the WordPress avatar.

By following these steps, your BuddyPress profile picture should now be synced with your WordPress avatar.

It is unclear if this is a BuddyPress issue.
BP does not store avatar info in the database.
It calls avatars from the uploads > avatars directory and organizes them based on the WP user ID.

See bp_core_fetch_avatar

If not found, the default image is used.

There are several filter hooks you could try.
Look towards the bottom of function bp_core_fetch_avatar in this file:
wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-core\bp-core-avatars.php

For example, I would try this one first:

function gabriel_random_avatar( $default_grav, $params ) {

     // $default_grav is an url
     // replace it with the full url to one of your preferred avatars

     return $default_grav;
}
add_filter('bp_core_avatar_default', 'gabriel_random_avatar', 99, 2 );

Are you saying that you want to use BP avatars on WP author pages?
If so, find the call to the avatar on the authors template.
And replace it with something like this:

<img class="" src="<?php 
     $authorUserID = get_the_author_meta('ID');  // get the user id of the post author
     echo bp_core_fetch_avatar ( 
          array(  'item_id'   => $authorUserID,   // output user id of post author
            'type'  => 'full',
            'html'  => FALSE  // FALSE = return url, TRUE (default) = return url wrapped with html and css classes
    ) 
);

You can use for logged in user:
bp_displayed_user_avatar( ‘type=full’ );

if calling within a group:
bp_group_member_avatar();

or in general (this is pulled for admin of a group, but can be set up in other ways):
bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $admin->user_id, ’email’ => $admin->user_email, ‘type’ => ‘full’ ) )

Hi @mohamedbakry83,

In this case you’ll need to copy the email template into a /buddypress/assets/email/single-bp-email.php file of your active theme and edit it from theme to include a new template tag.

something like:

<?php mohamedbakry83_output_avatar(); ?>

Then in a bp-custom.php file, you’ll need to include new function for this template tag:

function mohamedbakry83_output_avatar() {
  $token = '{{recipient.avatar}}';
  printf( '<img src="%s">', $token );
}

In this file, you’ll need to use & adapt the filter @shanebp pasted in his first reply making sure to check $formatted_tokens['friend-requests.url'] & $formatted_tokens['initiator.id'] are set and then set the recipient.avatar token like this :

$formatted_tokens['recipient.avatar'] = bp_core_fetch_avatar(
  array(
    'object'  => 'user',
    'item_id' => $formatted_tokens['initiator.id'],
    'html'    => false,
  )
);

This is for the friendship request email. But you should be able to do it for any email type with this example.

Try add_filter(‘bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav’, ‘__return_true’);

There was a bug ticket that used this ages ago – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7056

Can’t guarantee it still works.

Hi Debby, I found time to test this, if you install WP Featherlight and then make the following change:

<?php $fullsize_avatar_url = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'type' => 'full', 'html' => false, 'no_grav' => true, 'item_id' => bp_get_member_user_id() ) ); ?>

<li <?php bp_member_class(); ?>>

	<div class="item-avatar">

		<a href="#" data-featherlight="<?php echo $fullsize_avatar_url; ?>"><?php bp_member_avatar(); ?></a>

	</div>

You will have your avatars in lightboxes. However these will probably be small. The default is only 150 pixels.

You can change this with the following setting placed in either your child themes functions.php or a bp-custom.php placed in the plugins directory.

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH', 150 );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT', 150 );

change the 150 to your preferred pixel size for the image.

What you will need however is details of how to construct the url for the full size avatar image:

<?php $fullsize_avatar_url = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'type' => 'full', 'html' => false, 'item_id' => bp_get_member_user_id() ) ); ?>

So you’d add this as the image that will load into the lightbox.

I always use bp_core_fetch_avatar, it’s better documented and avoids the filter, which could be the issue.

$args = array(
        'item_id' => bp_loggedin_user_id()'
	'type'    => 'full',
	'html'    => false
    );

$mg_avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( $args );

Try that

You’d just set the default avatar for buddypress:

The default avatar is the one that appear when a user has not yet uploaded his own avatar. If you’re not a fan of the mystery man, here are the constants that you can use to define your own:

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT', $img_url );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT_THUMB', $img_url );

Change the the constant to include the URL for the location of your new default avatars and add this to your bp-custom.php file.

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT', 'http://example.com/default-avatar.jpg' );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT_THUMB', 'http://example.com/default-avatar-thumb.jpg' );

To use a default avatar without Gravatar you should also add:

add_filter( 'bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', '__return_true' );

Hi @prashantvatsh
Thanks for pointing me to the right direction, I noticed the break in the image was caused by this code I made use of;

Please can you assist me in a way to debug and fix this code a little
Reasons being:
The code helps to disable the gravatar use in buddy-press avatar and cover-image while also removing that gravatar text wordings when editing the avatar and cover image

/*Disable gravatar*/
add_filter('bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', '__return_true');

/*Disable gravatar extra function*/
function bp_remove_gravatar ($image, $params, $item_id, $avatar_dir, $css_id, $html_width, $html_height, $avatar_folder_url, $avatar_folder_dir) {

    $default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/_inc/images/bp_default_avatar.jpg';

    if( $image && strpos( $image, "gravatar.com" ) ){ 

        return '<img src="' . $default . '" alt="avatar" class="avatar" ' . $html_width . $html_height . ' />';
    } else {
        return $image;

    }

}
add_filter('bp_core_fetch_avatar', 'bp_remove_gravatar', 1, 9 );

function remove_gravatar ($avatar, $id_or_email, $size, $default, $alt) {

    $default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/_inc/images/bp_default_avatar.jpg';
    return "<img alt='{$alt}' src='{$default}' class='avatar avatar-{$size} photo avatar-default' height='{$size}' width='{$size}' />";
}

add_filter('get_avatar', 'remove_gravatar', 1, 5);

function bp_remove_signup_gravatar ($image) {

    $default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/_inc/images/bp_default_avatar.jpg';

    if( $image && strpos( $image, "gravatar.com" ) ){ 

        return '<img src="' . $default . '" alt="avatar" class="avatar" width="150" height="150" />';
    } else {
        return $image;
    }

}
add_filter('bp_get_signup_avatar', 'bp_remove_signup_gravatar', 1, 1 );

Thanks in advance
