Avatar option won’t show up?

    Hi all

    I’m running WP 4.3 with BuddyPress 2.3.3

    I’ve enabled the setting in the BuddyPress settings that says Allow registered members to upload avatars, yet I can’t seem to find where to upload/edit my avatar? In screenshots of others I’ve seen that there should be an option in “Profile”, yet in my install there is only View/Edit.

    For testing purposes I’ve disabled all plugins except BuddyPress, and I’m running twentyfifteen.

    What gives? 🙁

    It must be something weird in my database.
    I’ve just edited my wp-config to connect to a different DB and installed WP in it, and activated my plugins & themes, and this time it did work, the upload avatar functionality appears, including in the wp-admin.

    If I change it out to my other database that has all my content, it dissapears again.

    What could cause this weird behavior?

    Okay so I looked in the database, in wp_options there’s a “show_avatars” row and it had no value set. I set the option_value to 1 and everything worked.

    Any clue as to why there was no value in this option? Not even a 0, as in disabled.
    Where in the buddypress settings is the checkbox to alter this value even? Am I overlooking something? I’m confused.

    The checkbox “Allow registered members to upload avatars” only seems to control the “bp-disable-avatar-uploads” value in wp_options
