what’s the url of an image on a profile?
DJPaul, Is this the info you asked me for?
What does it tell you?
Thanks!
Were uploaded avatars working for you before BP 1.2.3?
Looks like your entire site is using gravatars at the moment.
No obvious idea. You didn’t change something in a core file previously or anything like that? Will be interesting to see if anyone else reports this.
I did nothing at all. Just upgraded.
But: while upgrading I got 2 fatal errors. 1 from Tweetstram, the other form BP Album+.
I renamed the plugins to deactivate them, and once I got my admin back I re-activated them.
Don’t know if that has anything to do, but I rather report everyghing that happend.
r-a-y, I know, it’s just gravatars all over the place. But why? And especially, what should I do to point it back to avatars?
Nothing changed with avatars from 1.2.2.1 to 1.2.3.
Than I just don’t know. Still, i got that right after the upgrade and I need to fix that.
Any idea how?
Can I upload avatars FOR the members, as an admin?
Is there a way to re-point to the old avatars.
I want to consider asking members to re-upload their avatars as the very last solution.
Well, let’s do one thing at a time
What happens when you upload a new avatar?
My user’s avatars disappeared after update too. Now when I upload a new pic, it just displays the alt text, and no image.
Same issue, just updated to 1.2.3 from 1.2.2.1 today and cannot upload a new avatar image since the old ones disappeared. Also had fatal errors when using the automatic upgrade. Needed to delete buddypress and do a complete fresh install.
In 1.2.2.1 needed to use the following to correct a cropping issue. Tried it on 1.2.3 and it does not help with the missing image. Not sure if this is still a problem in 1.2.3. Also using BP Album+.
To correct cropping issue:
Go to 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.
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;
Thanks kb734, problem solved on my site 
Thanks again
@gian-ava – What error did BP Album+ throw after your upgrade? Please post a copy of the error text.
^F^
Sorry for the late reply, different time zone (Europe). I just woke up.
I forget the modified code I had on the bp-core-avatars.php file for the avatars fix.
I put it back as kb734 suggested, and now the avatars are working again.
I’ll write a note that I need to do that for each upgrade.
Should this be considered for the core files in the next release?
I’ve added this code to the 1.2 branch so you should not need to do this for future versions if you have defined a custom upload path. Thanks kb734.
the avatar has vanished from my site too with the new version.
i dont have Settings -> Miscellaneous Settings in my wordpress MU version:(
Tagging this thread. The problem with uploading and cropping member avatars reappeared after upgrading from bp 1.2.2.1 to 1.2.3. I originally had to do the fix mentioned by kb734 in version 1.2.2.1. Hopefully this will be fixed in the next release. Just one note, I did not have to define the full url path in Settings -> Miscellaneous Settings. I just left it blank and problem solved.
doesn’t work for me
hi i did everything
it still didn’t work
there were problems
they didn’t show the preview
and therefore There was a problem cropping your avatar, please try uploading it again.
help
I have the same now after the newest BP Update. All avatars are gone and when I want to upload one I get the message that the folder may be does not have the correct permissions, but it has! Any ideas?
This is an old thread from 6 months ago based on 1.2.3. I’d recommend creating a new thread for this.
I have done this, but got no reply. It is very very importan for me to fix this as soon as possible. I cant believe that I am the only one with this problem…
