Feature Request – Default Profile Photo

[troy7890]

Hello – I would like to be able to add a function to this theme that will add a default photo to profiles who have not yet uploaded one yet.

Displaying the member’s page as it is now, shows text in the photo position. And the text reads – “Profile picture of (Name)”. It really messes up the appearance. Also it’s an issue on the homepage when the member’s grid is used – like in your demo.

Hopefully it’s something we can add to the functions.php file and also something for a future update.

Thanks for the great support and theme!

Here’s what I have in my child functions file. It’s not working though. And yes this .png is on the server in that location. Please advise, thanks.

COPY CODE

// change default avatar for members
function myavatar_add_default_avatar( $url )
{
return get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/images/BGL-icon72.png';
}
add_filter( 'bp_core_mysteryman_src', 'myavatar_add_default_avatar' );
add_filter( 'bp_group_gravatar_default', 'myavatar_add_default_avatar' );

I could never get that to work either. Here’s what I use on my sites. It will add another option in WP Admin > Settings > Discussion

COPY CODE

/**
* Add a default avatar to Settings > Discussion
**/
add_filter( 'bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', '__return_true' );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT', 'http://yoursite/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/default_avatar.jpg' );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT_THUMB', 'http://yoursite/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/default_avatar_thumb.jpg' );

Obviously change the url and image names, then set it in Discussions
