Changing avatar size?

I’m trying to change the avatar size in members-loop.php

After about an hour I managed to find that bp_member_avatar() is being defined in bp-members-template.php

Luckily in that file there is a nice list of all the things that you can do with it :
```
@type string $alt Default: 'Profile picture of [user name]'.
	 *     @type string $class Default: 'avatar'.
	 *     @type string $type Default: 'thumb'.
	 *     @type int|bool $width Default: false.
	 *     @type int|bool $height Default: false.
	 *     @type bool $id Currently unused.
	 *     @type bool $no_grav Default: false.
```
But absolutely no example of how to formulate these arguments at all. (again!)

I’ve tried all of the below and nothing works :
```
bp_member_avatar(75,75);
bp_member_avatar('75','75');
bp_member_avatar("75","75");
bp_member_avatar($height="75", $width="75");
bp_member_avatar($height='75', $width='75');
bp_member_avatar($height=75, $width=75);
```
I’ve also tried changing the class and some other things using similar methods and I can’t get anything working at all.

Could somebody please shed some light on how the arguments are supposed to be passed please?

Ok just found this, I think this will achieve the same thing in a different way :

Customizing BuddyPress Avatars

But I’d still like to be able to give the members page avatars a different class, so instead of it rendering img.avatar it would output img.ml_avatar for example.

Any ideas how to pass that new class arg here?

Ok found out how to pass a new class :

bp_member_avatar($args = 'class="mynewclass"');

But still can’t work out how to set the size via the args?

Hi @mrgiblets

The avatar sizes are set via constants that you can override.
