BP avatars missing special classes

I have some code for my theme that adds some extra classes to avatars on blog post comments.
```
function bt_get_avatar($avatar, $type) {
  if (!is_object($type)) { return $avatar; }

  $avatar = str_replace("class='avatar", "class='avatar pull-left media-object", $avatar);
  return $avatar;
}
add_filter('get_avatar', 'bt_get_avatar', 10, 2);
```
But for some reason anyone that is a “member” of the buddypress plugin doesn’t get these applied to their comments. Ive had some success with hooking bp_core_avatar_class but it seems to now add those classes to all instances of the get_avatar everywhere, and thats not what I want exactly. For example, it adds these to the toolbar/admin bar avatar also. Disabling BP restores the classes back to all comments on the blog. Using the comment form while not logged in posts a comment with the classes added. The result is a mixture of comments, some with the avatar classes, some without.

Is there a way to make the above code function as expected with BP enable?

Hmm. Using get_avatar to change the class for blog comments is an interesting approach, though I guess it has pitfalls like this. BuddyPress customises the entire string, so your str_replace is probably not matching.

How about hooking at priority 12 instead of 10, and doing some debugging so you can fix up your str_replace for when BuddyPress is active? You might need two str_replace statements to handle BP and no BP, or you might want to switch to a preg_replace or something like that.

reevaluating my str_replace revealed the error:

str_replace("class='avatar", "class='avatar pull-left media-object", $avatar);

Should have been:

str_replace("class=\"avatar", "class=\"avatar pull-left media-object", $avatar);

Thanks for being a sounding board. Late night.
