BuddyPress.org

Hi,

On our site we have a default image that is used instead of the the user’s normal gravatar, until they set their profile photo. In my functions.php I’ve disabled the standard gravatar upload with

add_filter('bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', '__return_true');

and substituted our image with:

function bp_set_avatar_constants() {
   define(
    'BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT',
    site_url('/wp-content/uploads/default.png')
    );
   define(
    'BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT_THUMB',
    site_url('/wp-content/uploads/default.png')
    );
}
add_action('bp_init', 'bp_set_avatar_constants', 2);

Now the only issue I have is that when you go to upload your photo there is the message “Your profile photo will be used on your profile and throughout the site. If there is a Gravatar associated with your account email we will use that, or you can upload an image from your computer.”

It would be nice if I could change this to eliminate the part about the Gravatar. I believe this is in: members/single/profile/change-avatar.php

Do I have any option other than to edit that file directly? Just looking for some guidance here about what is the right thing to do. FWIW, I’m pretty much of a novice with WP in general and certainly with BuddyPress.
