There is probably a filter on the_author_posts_link() that you can use to replace the link.
theuseruper – thanks for pointing me over here, although I still don’t have any answers, I’m having a similar problem.

I don’t think it’s my server, as my site was working great for months before I upgraded.

Yes, I’ve looked at that exact plugin. Unfortunately, if you read the comments it appears the plugin is not working since Automattic acquired Gravatar.com. Does that make any sense? You would think Automattic would do everything it can to speed up the use of gravatars and to make it easier to signup within WordPress. Surely someone smarter than me can use that plugin as a base for what’s needed here?
Andy, can you chime in here?
Thx
@scotm I agreee 100%. Maybe this plugin could be adapted to BuddyPress: http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/gravatar-signup/
I still believe the universal solution is to sync buddypress with gravatar.com within the profile area in BP. Rather than have users upload an avatar, have them sign up for a gravatar and be done with it. The cropping issue is in part tied to the presentation of the larger avatar, a feature which I believe is pointless anyhow.
Does anyone know a way to do this?
Thx
I am looking for someone to convert my existing customized wordpress installation to buddypress without losing data.
UPDATE: I’ve uninstalled all the BuddyPress plugins and the problem persists. Must not have to do with BuddyPress. Is just more obvious with BuddyPress. Hmmm…. Any ideas, I’d love to hear them.

Earlier today I was running WPMU 2.6.5 with the latest BuddyPress-Combo install from this site. Everything was working except for the Forums. I upgraded to WPMU2.7. Everything is still working fine with WPMU (no 404’s, no blank pages, can comment, can post), but BuddyPress no longer works. Any time I click on any BP feature link it takes me to a page to create a new blog.
Here’s the link to my site: http://blog.bssd.org/mu/
You can recreate the problem without even logging in. Just click on “Home,” “News,” “Members,” “Groups,” or “Blogs.”
One thing I noticed that it may be attempting to redirect me to the wrong URL. If you click on the “Members” tab you are supposed to go here <http://blog.bssd.org/mu/members/>, but end up going here <http://blog.bssd.org/mu/mumembers/>. Why is it doing this?

mydomain.com/members/admin/profile/change-avatar page source showed that my avatar image looked something like “http://mydomain.com/GD Image Library not loaded”.
The solution was to get the GD Image Library turned on.
1) open php.ini in wordpad and uncomment the line
extension=php_gd2.dll
2) copy the php_gd2.dll from the C:php5extras folder and place with the php.ini file
3) in IIS open Application Pools and right click on DefaultAppPool and select Recycle ( you don’t have to restart IIS)
Then I used the Change Avatar page and finally after weeks of tooling around my avatars are loading. Yahoo!!
hi oldskoo,
you get wrong by retrieving the (get locale() because at the next update of your bp-core.php file, this will be back again.
And what do you think what are the language settings on site and blogs for ?
wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-languages/buddypress-' . get_locale(). '.mo'
this line means /path/to/your/locale language settings and call the translation file buddypres-en.mo (note the hyphen)
get_locale() comes sometimes along with get_domain(), who entend something like en_US.mo or de_DE…
You will find some functions using locale() and domain() in wp-includesl10n.php
wich is one of the language setting file.
I’ve got my BP installed in a sub-directory (“/members”). Everything seems to be working pretty well on the home side – but not the entire members section. Clicking on anything under the “My Account” tab gives a Page Not Found error. It must have something to do with the location of the buddypress-member directory, but I’ve tried all of the obvious locations – inside wp-content, as well as in the root, in and out of the member-themes directory, etc.
I read here that there were issues with subdirectories in the past – is that still the case or has it been resolved? I’m running MU 2.7 and the BP combo pack – should I upgrade something from the trunk? Thanks!
Ok i found a few sites that made a bit more sense and i pieced all the bits together.
I downloaded the POT file fomr the bp SVN.
Downloaded a program called POEDIT
Created a new catalog from the PO file
Made my translations
Save the file which created an MO file
Eventually figured out i needed to upload my MO file to the bp-languages DIR in the mu-plugins DIR of WP
Then i opened up bp-core.php and found the line
(`)
if ( file_exists( ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-languages/buddypress-‘ . get_locale(). ‘.mo’ ) )
load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-languages/buddypress-‘ . get_locale() . ‘.mo’ );
(`)
I couldn’t find out anything on get_locale() function that mean’t anything to me so i just removed get_locale() and replaced it with my .mo filename.
I am looking to see if anyone can help me to installed WordPress MU + Buddypress + BBpress for me.
I pay for the fee.
Thanks
Thanks Trent. I’m all updated to the Bleeding edge on everything.
My BuddyPress is working just fine so far.
Thanks for the response. I love the extended WP community. Nice to have brilliant friends everywhere.

Hi,
I was hoping to get some help on creating a translations file.
I posted a while ago asking if i could change the word blog to diary and post to entry.
Others have asked if they can change wire to something else or groups to contacts.
All the sensible suggestions have been to create a custom translations file. This is a great idea because editing all the separate files will be EXTREMELY hard to manage for upgrades.
I’ve tried to create a translations file but i’m finding it quite hard to understand. I tried to follow what it said on the WP site but the file didn’t make sense to me.
If someone can help show me how to create a translations file in windows i would be very grateful.
I have the BP POT file : http://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/bp-languages/buddypress.pot
But please could someone explain what i should do next and which windows program will turn it into and MO file and where i should define my language within BP?
Cheers,
Nicola, I hope you can accept some constructive criticism.
You have made tremendous contributions to BuddyPress. However, I think it’s ironic that you ask people what they want as the next plug-in, then you reject suggestions that don’t match your open-source philosophy. In this thread, more than one person asked for Facebook Connect, and other people asked for other Facebook-style features. I didn’t count all the requests, but I would say that Facebook functionality or integration is the thing that was requested most.
But you have an objection to Facebook because it’s a commercial operation and you prefer open-source. However, many of us need our sites to be commercially successful, so FB integration can be very helpful to us whether we like it or now.
So please don’t ask for requests and then reject the most popular request because you don’t like it.
