1.0.3 to 1.1 upgrade kills group avatar (how to fix)
-
If you have upgraded any previous versions of buddypress to 1.1, and see that group avatars which are previously uploaded don’t work, here’s little tip fixing them.
As posted on trac:
http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1147
On 1.0.3 and previous buddypress, system generates randomly named uploaded group images ending with -full. But 1.1 generates differently -bpfull. This is what causing group avatar not correctly displayed after upgrade.
So use Filezilla or any FTP program, go to /wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/group-avatars/ and rename previously uploaded images from -full to -bpfull

I’m about 10000% percent sure that I saw an upgrade function which renamed these for you. I can’t find it. I’m sure that apeatling also posted it as a code snippet on the forums. Can’t find that either. /sadface
My site appears to be using -full still, both on the site, files and in the database. Wondering if it should only use -bpfull when you upload a new avatar or something.
I’m marking this as ‘not resolved’ as whilst you have posted a workaround for your site, I’d like to clear this properly
Any news on this one? Would be handy, not to do it one by one…
Thanks
