avatars lost when moving site

I am having the same issue. It stores it relative to the URL of the website, however even if that is correct, it is broken in this if statement:

$local_avatars = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'simple_local_avatar', true );

		if ( empty( $local_avatars['full'] ) )

			return $avatar;

but the “full” array is obviously not empty:

a:8:{s:4:"full";s:87:"https://techgroove.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Brandon-White_avatar_1376883306.jpg";i:64;s:93:"https://techgroove.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Brandon-White_avatar_1376883306-64x64.jpg";i:16;s:93:"https://techgroove.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Brandon-White_avatar_1376883306-16x16.jpg";i:96;s:93:"https://techgroove.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Brandon-White_avatar_1376883306-96x96.jpg";i:32;s:93:"https://techgroove.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Brandon-White_avatar_1376883306-32x32.jpg";i:74;s:93:"https://techgroove.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Brandon-White_avatar_1376883306-74x74.jpg";i:24;s:93:"https://techgroove.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Brandon-White_avatar_1376883306-24x24.jpg";i:18;s:93:"https://techgroove.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Brandon-White_avatar_1376883306-18x18.jpg";}

Same problem here. I’ve made sure the images are in the library and the paths are correct in database usermeta table, but they don’t even show in front or back end as a missing image, just as if there never was an avatar image there in first place.

Same problem here. They do show as missing images here as it’s trying to load them from the development domain instead of the production domain. Please fix!

This is a serious downside, not being able to migrate database from the development to production domain. No updates yet?

Hi, is this plugin still being maintained by the author? Not being able to migrate a database to a production domain would, as pax notes, be a serious downside.
