Hello,

I am looking to change the default ‘mystery man’ avatar with my own custom image url.

For whatever reason, the following in my bp-custom.php does not work/do anything

$img_url = "https://localhost/www/wp-content/themes/default-theme/images/defaultprofile.png";
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT', $img_url );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT_THUMB', $img_url );

So alternatively I used the following code

function myavatar_add_default_avatar()
{
return 'https://localhost/www/wp-content/themes/default-theme/images/defaultprofile.png';
}
add_filter( 'bp_core_mysteryman_src', 'myavatar_add_default_avatar' );

Now, this “works”, meaning, it changes the default profile picture, but goes to a broken image… the broken image url is

https://i2.wp.com/localhost/www/wp-content/themes/default-theme/images/defaultprofile.png?ssl=1

Now, I have no idea where i2.wp.com is coming from, but it’s breaking my image source.

Confusing, right? Anyone know what’s up with this and how to set it straight?
