Can we use our own avatar?

[HeeHA]

Hi,

We would like to design our own avatar.

Is it possible to use own avatar?

Which folder for uploading?

Thanks!

Hello, the avatar is taken from gravatar, so we will disable this then add this code to bp-custom.php in
wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php

COPY CODE

add_filter('bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', '__return_true');
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT', 'YOURIMAGEURL' );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT_THUMB', 'YOURIMAGEURL' );

Add this to bp-custom.php

Where “yourimageurl” just change it with the url of your default avatar image.

Hope it helps 🙂

@Laura I wanted to make this happen but I didn’t want the hassle of re-editing the buddypress plugin files with each new version.
I put it in Kleo Child functions.php and it works great.

Also, this code just replaced a whole bunch of my users profile photos, including mine, with the default photo.

Hello, buddypress doesnt update bp-custom.php because is not a buddypress default file, is created by the user or a plugin. So it doesnt change.
Also, have you tried to upload a photo? It should change, the default photo is set to everyone then they have to upload one. Or you can share admin credentials with me so i can check it out 🙂

Are you telling me that the only way to use this new default photo code is to wipe everyone’s default photos and then have them re-upload their profile photo?

I don’t think that’s acceptable to our users.

Is there an alternative workflow that doesn’t wipe our user’s default photos?

Hello, can you share admin account so i can check it out? 🙂
