We had this same issue with our installation. The problem is in bp_core_avatar_upload_path and bp_core_avatar_url functions located in bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php.

For bp_core_avatar_upload_path I changed this line:
` $upload_dir = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/blogs.dir/’ . BP_ROOT_BLOG . ‘/files/’;`

to:
`$upload_dir = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;`

For bp_core_avatar_url I changed this line:
`$upload_dir = str_replace( get_blog_option( $current_blog->blog_id, ‘home’ ) , get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG, ‘home’ ), $upload_dir );`

to:
`$upload_dir = get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG, ‘home’ ) . ‘/wp-content/uploads/’;`

This is probably not the best way to fix this but it works.

SInce BP 1.2.6 has the same problem, I would like to open my idea, which is based on @liemcc.

As $upload_dir in bp-core-avatars.php seems to be correct, I changed $upload_dir only.

At line 571 or so,

`[ Original ]
$upload_dir = str_replace( get_blog_option( $current_blog->blog_id, ‘home’ ) , get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG, ‘home’ ), $upload_dir );

[ Changed ]
$upload_dir = get_home_url( BP_ROOT_BLOG, ‘/’ ) . get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG, ‘upload_path’);`

Note: There are some other way of correction, and I selected the above becuase I do not want to write the direct path like “/wp-content/” in case upload path changes in the future again.
The reason why we have to change the original script is that WP 3.0.1 has changed upload path for the Blog ID 1 from blogs.dir to “wp^content/uploads” unless we change the default upload path, where “BP_ROOT_BLOG” means Blog ID 1.

I hope this will be helpful for everyone and the next-version BP.

If you guys have fixed a reproducible bug in 1.2.6, please please make a ticket on http://trac.buddypress.org so we can look at it and/or fix it in core. We can’t read every single thread all of the time on this forum due to time constraints

Look at the posts above yours: some DID post a patch up above. Did you try it?

did you look at trac to see if a ticket was filed? If not, can you file a ticket?

@overdrive I don’t if it may help you, but helped me:

function bp_core_avatar_url_fix() {
global $current_blog;

// Get upload directory information from current site
$upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();

// If multisite, and current blog does not match root blog, make adjustments
if ( bp_core_is_multisite() && BP_ROOT_BLOG != $current_blog->blog_id )
$upload_dir = ‘/wp-content/uploads’;

return $upload_dir;
}
add_action( ‘bp_core_avatar_url’, ‘bp_core_avatar_url_fix’);
