BP 1.6 upgrade and avatar functions
-
Hi!
I re-posting this in this section, as I think I put it in the wrong area of the forum previously. Sorry for double post.I’m attempting to solve avatar sizing issues that appeared since upgrading to Buddypress 1.6. I’ve read through the previous topics in regards to this, but haven’t seen my particular issue brought up. I am using the Salutation theme, which I know had various upgrade issues for the avatars, but most of them seem to have been addressed by the newest compatibility update Salutation 1.5.2, which I have installed.
My problem is related to the version of the avatar image that’s being used in the adminbar, as well as in my header, and as avatars in forum topics. In the adminbar, it is pulling the thumbnail avatar (which is 35×35) but trying to display it at 64×64, so it is stretched/blurry. In the member-header, the the avatar is being pulled with bp_displayed_user_avatar( ‘type=full’ ), however the image is the full-35×35 version, stretched to 80×80 via css. The forum post loop is also displaying the full-35×35 avatars, although img html has width and height of 150, and the image is displaying at 80×80 through css. The larger avatar size files do exist, and were showing up properly, prior to the update.
I’ve tried switching to BP Default theme, and disabling all plugins except Buddypress. I’m very baffled and would greatly appreciate some advice from those who know well the coding of the new BP version. Thank you for your help, and for all the hard work put into creating Buddypress 1.6!

I spend a lot of time to find a fix for that. So if you still have problems do the following:
1.) Download the “avatars” folder and delete all bpfull-XXxXX.jpg pictures and reupload it
2.) Take a look here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4092
@boonebgorges gave the comment with the workaround (Thanks for this!)…So this is the code to replace with in bp-core-avatars.php, line 211:
`// Check for current avatar
foreach( $avatar_files as $key => $value ) {
if ( strpos ( $value, $avatar_size )!== false ) {
$avatar_url = $avatar_folder_url . ‘/’ . $avatar_files[$key];
break;
}
}
`For me there are no more problems now… It would be great if the BuddyPress-Team could get this into the next release…
Best!
