[Plugin: BuddyPress] Serious Problem With Images

Found a way to fix it but I don’t know how to quickly regenerate all the existing thumbnails. Does anyone know a quick way to regenerate all the thumbnails after fixing the php script below?

1. Locate this file
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php

2. Locate this code in the file

// Set the full and thumb filenames
$full_filename = wp_hash( $original_file . time() ) . ‘-bpfull.jpg’;
$thumb_filename = wp_hash( $original_file . time() ) . ‘-bpthumb.jpg’;

3. Change the code to:

// Set the full and thumb filenames
$full_filename = wp_hash( $original_file . time() ) . ‘-bpfull.png’;
$thumb_filename = wp_hash( $original_file . time() ) . ‘-bpthumb.png’;

4. Uploading a new avatar and cropping it will now create a .png version, the images will now work properly in IE8/9

5. How can I recreate all the existing thumbnails quickly?

I fixed it by running the script below from:

/wp-content/uploads/group-avatars

find . -type f -name ‘*.jpg’ -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d ” f; do
mv — “$f” “${f%.jpg}.png”
done
