Cannot get local avatars to show [closed]

Question

Debug ideas:

You could try to see if this has any effect:

add_filter( 'bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', '__return_true' );

But you should check out the parameters that go through the bp_core_fetch_avatar filter to see if they are correct (untested):

add_filter( 'bp_core_fetch_avatar', 'my_bp_core_fetch_avatar', 99, 9 );

function my_bp_core_fetch_avatar( $html, $params, $item_id, $avatar_dir, $css_id, $html_width, $html_height, $avatar_folder_url, $avatar_folder_dir )
{
    // debug:
    $args = array( 
                    'html'              => $html,
                    'params'            => join( ', ', $params ),
                    'item_id'           => $item_id,
                    'avatar_dir'        => $avatar_dir,
                    'css_id'            => $css_id,
                    'html_width'        => $html_width,
                    'html_height'       => $html_height,
                    'avatar_folder_url' => $avatar_folder_url,
                    'avatar_folder_dir' => $avatar_folder_dir,
            );

   $debug = date_i18n( 'c' );

   foreach( $args as $key => $value )
   {
       $debug .= sprintf( ' | %s: %s ', $key, $value );
   } 

    error_log( $debug . PHP_EOL , 3, '/path/to/my/debug.log' ); 

    return $html;
}

where you have to modify the path to your writeable debug.log file.

The file should then contain lines like this one:

2013-11-12T12:01:16+00:00 | html: ???  | params: ???  | item_id:  ??? | avatar_dir: ??? | css_id: ??? | html_width: ??? | html_height: ??? | avatar_folder_url: ??? | avatar_folder_dir: ???

I updated the above debug code, to take into account that $params is an array.

Some general remarks:

It’s interesting to look into the file /bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php.

The avatar image seems to be overwritten via this filter:

add_filter( 'get_avatar', 'bp_core_fetch_avatar_filter', 10, 5 );

and inside the bp_core_fetch_avatar_filter() callback you have this line:

 // Let BuddyPress handle the fetching of the avatar
$bp_avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'item_id' => $id, 'width' => $size, 'height' => $size, 'alt' => $alt ) );

and it was inside that function, I found the applied bp_core_fetch_avatar filter.

So I think these functions might be worth debugging further or maybe you could try to correct the avatars via the above bp_core_fetch_avatar filter?
