BuddyPress.org

I’ve got a similar problem and I tried all the solution present in this topic but none of them worked…

Please have a look to my Topic to help me:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/impossible-to-upload-image-on-change-avatar-and-album-upload-picture-and-cant-send-private-message/#post-54071

Thx All

@nessradio and @psyber I am repeating all steps gain in detail mentioned by @gian-ava

Go to admin side of your blog then click from left menu Settings -> Miscellaneous Settings
Set “Store uploads in this folder” to “wp-content/uploads”.
Set “Full URL path to files” to the REAL FULL PATH of your uploads. e.g “http://yoursiteblog/wp-content/uploads”

Go to wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php
Then change bp-core-avatars.php line 389

Replace:
if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )
$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;

With:
if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )
$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;
else $path = ABSPATH . $path;

Note: Take care for quotes you must remove and again add by yourself, otherwise you will get Warning: Division by zero …
Hope it will work perfectly for image upload and crop issue.

So in my case I find the problem of why “upload avatar” doesn’t work.
It’s because of the BuddyPress Template pack plugin. When I use the bp default theme everything works perfectly.
When I use any wordpress theme that I made compatible with BuddyPress using the plugin bp Template pack I find exactly the same problem: Avatar Upload, private message, register… all of that doesn’t work… as soon as you click on the button “Submit” or “Crop” you go back to the same page and nothing happen?! It’s like the information wasn’t given at all…
There is a conflict somewhere that I can’t find!
Any Ideas???

[EDIT] Ok I solved the problem!!!
Ok so if none of the solution you have in this topic works for you it’s probably because you have a conflict between a js script in your default theme and a js script in your wordpress theme… take a minute tu disable all the js action in your wordpress theme ton test if it’s coming from there…

How do we fix this issue for WPMU installations?

How do we fix this issue for WPMU installations?

What could be causing this issue, I haven’t been able to find a fix for my website, I’m starting to think my users think I am a joke for an admin because this issue has persists for about 2 weeks now. Has anybody had this issue on a WPMU installation and found a way to fix it?

Same here. No avatar and no avatar cropping. The “Settings” >> “Miscellaneous” fix broke my wp-gallery. In the new bp-core-avatars.php (BP 1.2.4) the function “if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )/$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;” has been deprecate. I’m lost here.

I see lots of tickets for this issue, and it seems to be apparent in almost all configurations of WP/WPMU & Buddypress.

This bit of code:

“Go to wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php
Then change bp-core-avatars.php line 389

Replace:
if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )
$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;
“

DOES NOT APPEAR in my copy of bp-core-avatars.php

nor is there anything remotely similar…
i JUST installed BP yesterday (v1.2.4.1) into an existing WP install (v2.9.2) so everything is up to date
i’m using the bp-themepack on magazine-basic theme

any thoughts??
i ALSO did a new install of WP & BP (same versions but installed at the same time) on a different site and the crop tool works perfectly.
both sites are on the same server with the same configurations.

I was able to fix mine finally. While it may not be a conflicting plugin, it is quite possible that the theme you are using is calling its own scripts in away that makes the DOM skip BP’s loading of jCrop. (I could be way off and may not even be using the terms correctly. In the end, jCrop was inserting into the source code but it seemed like it would be after everything else had ran.) In my case, I looked into my theme’s folder, and found that it had its own “includes” folder. Inside this folder was a “scripts.php” function. From there, I read where it was pulling its scripts from. I then dropped the jCrop into the directory that it was looking into, and inserted the code to load up jCrop. It fixed it. I know this won’t work for you probably, but I hope that I was able to explain it enough of a way that you will be able to find and fix it similar to my example.

Hopefully this will somehow get fixed in the next update, but who knows how long it will take?

Good luck, and I wish I could give a more cookiecutter way of fixing it.

I posted this in another thread on the topic, but I thought I would post it here too in case it helps anyone. I don’t know if this was anyone else’s issue, but this was my problem and the solution I found.

SET UP: Running BuddyPress on a single install (not MU) and using the default BuddyPress theme with an assortment of plugins (but removing all the plugins did not help my problem).

PROBLEM: jcrop function wouldn’t work after an avatar was uploaded either on the registration or edit avatar pages within buddypress. The image and thumbnail would show, but there was no crop box to change what was selected for the thumbnail. Very frustrating.

SOLUTION: stupidly simple once I finally found it – for some reason there was no link to the external jcrop javascript file appearing in the header of the pages! (This can be checked by viewing the page source of the problem pages via your browser) To fix this I edited the bp-core-cssjs.php file which is inside the bp-core folder inside buddypress. Right after this line:

`$aspect_ratio = (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’ ) / (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ ); ?>`

I added:

`<script src="/wp-includes/js/jcrop/jquery.Jcrop.js”>`

And now the crop tool is showing up and everything works perfectly! Note that you may need to change the path to the Jcrop.js file depending on your site setup. Before this I had also downloaded the latest version of jcrop from http://deepliquid.com/content/Jcrop.html and updated it on my site, so I don’t know if that plays in at all or not.

Again, don’t know if that helps anyone else, it might have been something quirky in my set up maybe, but it did the trick for me so I figured I’d share it just in case.

Hey everyone. I am having the same problem. I have tried most everything… but i am sure it has something to do with the jcrop function being disabled by the theme i am working from. Can someone please HELP ME?!? it is driving me crazy. The site is http://www.ningbotoday.com&#8230; and so far i have enacted most of the solutions in this topic. For the most recent… my bp-core-cssjs.php file has the following line..
// Calculate Aspect Ratio
if ( (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ ) && ( (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’ ) != (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ ) ) )
$aspect_ratio = (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’ ) / (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ );
?>
So i add the line as you say, and i get nothing. I have also changed the upload directory to the specific directory, and no love there either. I want to get thru this so i can attend to the rest of the slew of projects i have lined up for this site. Can anyone help?
