Not Working With Buddypress Update

I can confirm this. BuddyPress First Letter Avatar overrides all the BP avatars on Twenty Sixteen theme after the latest BP update. (Everything was OK before the update).

Yep, unfortunately I have a same problem :((
Also cropping doesn’t work properly… so, maybe it’s more to do with latest buddypress update ??

Dear @danielagw
please, any chance this will be fixed?

Dear @valery-kondakoff / @wslover317
did you find the fix please?

Thank you :))

I haven’t tried to fix, was hoping the developer would come through

Thanks a lot @wslover317

Doesn’t look like @danielagw is still working on it ??

Any alternative to BuddyPress First Letter Avatar? What do you recommend?

I’ve got this issue as well, but I’m too impatient to wait for the developer to come up with a solution, so I went digging.

1. Buddypress 2.9.0 does a deep overhaul of the bp-core-avatars.php
2. BuddyPress First Letter Avatar seems to be affected by the code changes

After a bit of experimentation, I was able to restore the normal functionality to my site by commenting out:

add_filter('get_avatar', array($this, 'set_comment_avatar'), $this->filter_priority, 6); on line 139 of the buddypress-first-letter-avatar.php file

This line is commented as:

// this will only be used for anonymous WordPress comments (from non-users

My site does not allow anonymous comments, so there are no ill effects that I can see. YMMV

Hi, I have the same issue with my site. I’m running bbp 2.9.0, wp 4.8.1 too.

The workaround provided by @careb fixed it for now.

@dev49net / @danielagw would be great to have this fixed upstream!

will;

You are a STAR @careb
Thanks a lot :))

Thank you very much @careb
