Hi!
Ever since updating to Buddypress 1.6, I’ve had issues with the sizing of avatars throughout buddypress. On my member header (from an updated, bp-1.6 compatible member-header.php template) the avatar is being pulled with the bp_displayed_user_avatar( ‘type=full’ ), however the image is the full-35×35 version, stretched to 80×80 via css. The forum post loop is also displaying the full-35×35 avatars, although img html has width and height of 150, and the image is displaying at 80×80 through css. I tripple checked that there is nowhere defined to generate 35×35 avatars – But as soon as I manually delete the avatar files from FTP – They get regenerated after a while.
All of these were pulling the correct images and displaying properly before the upgrades. I do not know if this is a Buddypress core bug, and am completely baffled… has anyone else experienced an issue like this from the upgrade, and have an idea how to fix it, or what is going on?
The update to BP 1.6.1 didn’t fix the issue…
Thanks!
@erikahrend – we have an album plugin that supports full member tagging of photos – we should have an announcement shortly regarding its release — watch this space!
Thats all the code that was contained on that page? Not sure what is missing?
@mercime i can’t even begin to say thank you. i have spent days trying to figure this out. seeing it actually work is incredible. thanks for all your help and hardwork! 
@cleaus missing codes -> lines 16-21 and 23-28 in your latest pastebin.com link for content-page.php
@tomelk31 ok, I see that you’ve added the styles now and I see that the additions have fixed the layout for all BP pages.
@burntheedges https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ Per codex article above If you only want sitewide forums, then you should “Disable (uncheck) Discussion Forums in the Settings > BuddyPress > Components panel” etc
@tgnwsauctions not your fault except that you shouldn’t install a BP plugin which has not been updated for over two years.
@sgr33n, do you mean `format(‘F, d’); ?>`
please can you explain as i have no code knowledge.
thanks
== why buddypress doesn’t use user_metadata and have a proprietary xprofile table. ==
I believe one reason would be that WP doesn’t have an API for BuddyPress’ more sophisticated profile fields/groups, or something of that nature. At least that’s what I recall a core dev answering the last time that question was asked
@rgblog,
This is the extent of my understanding: groups/index.php is the file you’re asking for. In it, the groups-loop.php template is referenced. It’s that template that generates those “join” and “leave” buttons; specifically, the following action “bp_directory_groups_actions”. If I’ve mislead, someone jump in and correct me.
ok, I have revised the code above to right sidebar only. Delete old header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php and add code posted above.
Note that in the revised instruction, you do not create a blank sidebar-buddypress.php file but copy the sidebar.php file and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php then follow instructions above.
Im glad to see buddypress developers starting to take more of a interest in this project again, but i fear as it has been so long the plugin developers no longer have interest, im always finding problems with buddypress and i know the developers are starting to take notice but i wish the plugin guys would too.
a few plugins ive came across which would be awesome but havnt been updated in that long they no longer work correctly:
– Bp Albums
– BP Groups Plus
– Bp Wires
– BP Extras
i dont mean to bitch because i know how hard this stuff is i spent a week trying to code a simple post share plugin the other week an epicly failed, all im saying is couldn’t other active developers take over on plugins if they have been neglected for so long?
OK, I’ve just tested BP 1.6.1 on WP 3.4.2 (BP Default theme) in my dev site.
Yes, the same issue is still persistent!
Also, I found an interesting post and I wonder if AJAX change is related with this issue…
AJAX changes in BuddyPress 1.6
@tgnwsauctions looks like you’ve fixed it already on your own
yea ive noticed, the majority of plugins ive found have been abandoned and no longer work with the updates, and tbh even the ones from the buddypress team have been too, the bp albums plugin hasnt been updated in ages

Hey @mercime I’m getting an error regarding the buddy header, it reads
“Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in your code”
I posted the pastebin of the code:

Cool so a more deep integration into the wordpress core… Speaking of This, i’m just wondering why buddypress doesn’t use user_metadata and have a proprietary xprofile table.
Just to add @mercime I am a real novice to WordPress and BuddyPress so sorry if i dont completely understand!!
Thanks for the reply,
I am using a theme called “Salutation”
I have not created a child theme (Should I do this??) and I did not need to add the template pack as its already set up for BuddyPress.
Should I still copy this file over ??
Cheers
James
@fitnessblogger if you have child theme of bp-default theme or are using the BP template pack plugin and moved BP template folders/files, then copy over this file https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.1/bp-themes/bp-default/blogs/create.php following the directory structure and make the change.
Hey Roger! Thank you for responding. So, the email link comes from Buddypress and it is supposed to link back to the conversation. For example, this is one http://shenow.org/activity/p/2332/
But, when it is clicked on, it takes you to: http://shenow.org/featured-women/member-directory/members-2/k8e0/activity/2332
So, somewhere behind the scenes it is getting redirected.
The theme is the clear line theme, and it has been working for over a year…..this seems to be a new issue that arose after I was trying to make new pages. I can’t figure out what happened… or how to put it back……or how to change the redirection.
I’d love your input …. Thank you!
@mercime Hey sorry it keeps takign me so long to get back to you. Here is the link to the content-page.php: http://pastebin.com/LJuZbWBG
Sorry to bring up an old tread @sbrajesh, is there a way to show birth day and month instead of age e.g Birthday: January, 2
thanks
