Changing the avatar size on the Members page

    I’ve seen many threads about changing the avatar size, but I just can’t seem to get it to work. I’m using the default Buddypress theme, and I’m trying to change the size of the avatars on the Members page (i-e: the page with the list of all members) from the default of 30px x 30px.

    I’ve tried changing bp_member_avatar() to bp_member_avatar(‘type=full&width=75&height=75′) in /bp-themes/bp-default/members/members-loop.php as well as in /bp-core/bp-core-widgets.php, but it hasn’t worked. For the first, the page couldn’t load after the header, and for the second, it gave me an error saying that the ‘=’ was unexpected (I then changed the single quote to a double quote, and the error stopped appearing, but it didn’t change the avatar size).

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    bp-core-widgets.php is a core file, you should try to avoid editing core files if possible.

    Open members/member-loop.php and change the bp_member_avatar function to

    <?php bp_member_avatar( 'type=thumb&height=30&width=30' ); ?>

    You said my solution to remove the bp_member_avatar function in members-loop.php and replace it with <?php bp_member_avatar( 'type=thumb&height=30&width=30' ); ?> didn’t work?

    i wanted to know the exact code you are replacing in that file.

    Here’s a part of the code:

    	<?php do_action( 'bp_before_directory_members_list' ); ?>

	<ul id="members-list" class="item-list" role="main">

	<?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); ?>

		<li>
			<div class="item-avatar">
				<a href="<?php bp_member_permalink(); ?>"><?php bp_member_avatar( 'type=full&width=750&height=750' ); ?></a>
			</div>

			<div class="item">
				<div class="item-title">
					<a href="<?php bp_member_permalink(); ?>"><?php bp_member_name(); ?></a>

					<?php if ( bp_get_member_latest_update() ) : ?>

						<span class="update"> <?php bp_member_latest_update(); ?></span>

					<?php endif; ?>

    Ah OK.

    Remove this bit

    <?php bp_member_avatar( 'type=full&width=750&height=750' ); ?>

    and replace it with

    <?php bp_member_avatar( 'type=thumb&height=30&width=30' ); ?>

    Thanks for all the help, but it still doesn’t work when I do that…

    if you want to make the avatar a bit bigger you could try

    <?php bp_member_avatar( 'type=thumb&height=100&width=100' ); ?>

    There is a really good article on how to do this with CSS:
