Thanks for the help diagnosing the problem all. It is an issue of outside access. Until we launch this site, I am going to host a default image on an outside domain and use the Gravatar filter to assign it as the default for the development site:

function myavatar_add_default_avatar( $url ) {
return ‘http://outsidedomain.com/images/default.jpg’;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_core_mysteryman_src’, ‘myavatar_add_default_avatar’ );

Yup, I’ve selected Mystery Man in Settings –> Discussion and saved, and even tried some of the other default Gravatars. Also have tried defining my own default gravatar image using the filter ‘bp_core_mysteryman_src’. No luck.

I’m able to see my Mystery Man image if I strip out the parameters and such from the generated URL: http://mormonssa.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg

Are you able to see it? Perhaps it could be a permissions issue with Gravatar not being able to access the file. I am on a client’s server for this project, and it’s not a web host I’ve used before. The directories permissions appear to be set to 755 and the bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg file is set to 644, although I’ve tried setting it all the way up to 777 out of desperation.

Hmm, worth the try. But after clearing the cache in Chrome, force refreshing the page, and viewing in Safari, all default gravatars still showed broken.

Thanks girlinparis, very helpful. So I logged into each new user (actually didn’t have to disable Coming Soon plugin for this, as I just needed the login page). All 6 members now show up, and you were right–this seemed to fix the rounded avatar styling. However, still no luck with getting mystery man to display–all members but 1 still show a broken image for their avatar.

@sqadmin et al, here’s an updated screenshot:

Hmm, well it appears that adding users via the WordPress admin area didn’t result in more Members being shown on the site–there are still only 2. How does one go about adding new members rather than just users? Is there a way to do this while the site is using a Coming Soon plugin (i.e. if I logout of admin status I can no longer see the site)?

P.S. I did try manually saving the Settings–>Discussion page with mystery man checked. No change.

Thanks. Well, I tried adding some more sample users so the total was 6, but still nothing changed with regards to the default gravatars showing.

Hi there. I’m having the same issue, where default gravatars are showing as broken images while custom user gravatars are showing okay. There also seems to be something off with the style of the avatar circles in the homepage carousel. I tried a fresh install of the theme, with BuddyPress as the only activated plugin and the problems still persisted.

Here’s a screen capture of the issue and the source code:

Any help would be appreciated!
