You will have te create a custom function, either in your theme’s functions.php or in plugins/bp-custom.php, that filters the output of that function and replaces it with the avatar of your choice. Eg, if your blog_id is 5,
‘function my_blog_avatar( $old_avatar ) {
// Do some stuff to get the avatar you want, then
return $new_avatar;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_get_blog_avatar_5’, ‘my_blog_avatar’ );`

The ‘do some stuff’ part will depend highly on your setup. If by ‘the associated group’ you mean that you are using bp-groupblog, then you will likely have to do some direct queries of the groupmeta database table to find the group that is associated with a particular blog (I don’t think that the plugin stores that info in a place that is easily accessible by blog_id). Then you will use some permutation of bp_core_fetch_avatar() to pull up the avatar for that group_id.

Good luck!

That thread is correct that there are no blog avatares built into BP. But it is incorrect about being able to display custom avatars in blog directories. The strategy I outline above will do just that.

I am a complete newbie when it comes to this. I tried to utilize the funciton you created above and it results in an error: Unexpected return.

I imagine I am missing something obvious but here is my code:
`function my_blog_avatar_1( $old_avatar ) {
bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => ‘1’, ‘type’ => $type, ‘alt’ => $alt, ‘width’ => $width, ‘height’ => $height, ‘class’ => $class ) ) // Do some stuff to get the avatar you want, then
return $new_avatar;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_get_blog_avatar_1?, ‘my_blog_avatar_1’ );`

Thanks in advance for your help.
