[Plugin: User Avatar] Picture does not display

hello guys,

In order for this plugin can work well, easy as pie. You just remove all the existing code in timthumb-config.php file with the following code below:

<?php 

if( isset($_GET['id']) && is_numeric($_GET['id']) ){
	$id = $_GET['id'];

	if( !strpos( $_GET['src'],"/avatars/".$id."/" ) )
		die();
} else {
	die();
}
// this is the standard set up with wp-content living 3 levels down
define ('WP_CONTENT_DIR', dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))));
define ('AVATARS_DIR',WP_CONTENT_DIR.'/uploads/avatars/');
// cache the file inside the avatar directory
// please modify this to your hearts content
if(! defined('FILE_CACHE_DIRECTORY') ) 		define ('FILE_CACHE_DIRECTORY', AVATARS_DIR.$id.'/cache');

// this are pretty much the standard settings
if(! defined('DEBUG_ON') )					define ('DEBUG_ON', false);								// Enable debug logging to web server error log (STDERR)
if(! defined('DEBUG_LEVEL') )				define ('DEBUG_LEVEL', 1);								// Debug level 1 is less noisy and 3 is the most noisy
if(! defined('MEMORY_LIMIT') )				define ('MEMORY_LIMIT', '30M');							// Set PHP memory limit
if(! defined('BLOCK_EXTERNAL_LEECHERS') ) 	define ('BLOCK_EXTERNAL_LEECHERS', false);				// If the image or webshot is being loaded on an external site, display a red "No Hotlinking" gif.

if(! defined('ALLOW_ALL_EXTERNAL_SITES') ) 	define ('ALLOW_ALL_EXTERNAL_SITES', false);				// Less secure.
if(! defined('FETCH_LOCAL_URLS') )          define ('FETCH_LOCAL_URLS', false);                     // If true, URL sources will always be fetched over HTTP, even if they have the same hostname as this script
if(! defined('FILE_CACHE_ENABLED') ) 		define ('FILE_CACHE_ENABLED', TRUE);					// Should we store resized/modified images on disk to speed things up?
if(! defined('FILE_CACHE_TIME_BETWEEN_CLEANS'))	define ('FILE_CACHE_TIME_BETWEEN_CLEANS', 86400);	// How often the cache is cleaned 

if(! defined('FILE_CACHE_MAX_FILE_AGE') ) 	define ('FILE_CACHE_MAX_FILE_AGE', 86400);				// How old does a file have to be to be deleted from the cache

if(! defined('FILE_CACHE_PREFIX') ) 		define ('FILE_CACHE_PREFIX', 'timthumb');				// What to put at the beg of all files in the cache directory so we can identify them
if(! defined('FILE_CACHE_DIRECTORY') ) 		define ('FILE_CACHE_DIRECTORY', './cache');				// Directory where images are cached. Left blank it will use the system temporary directory (which is better for security)
if(! defined('MAX_FILE_SIZE') )				define ('MAX_FILE_SIZE', 10485760);						// 10 Megs is 10485760. This is the max internal or external file size that we'll process.
if(! defined('CURL_TIMEOUT') )				define ('CURL_TIMEOUT', 20);							// Timeout duration for Curl. This only applies if you have Curl installed and aren't using PHP's default URL fetching mechanism.
if(! defined('WAIT_BETWEEN_FETCH_ERRORS') )	define ('WAIT_BETWEEN_FETCH_ERRORS', 3600);				//Time to wait between errors fetching remote file

//Browser caching
if(! defined('BROWSER_CACHE_MAX_AGE') ) 	define ('BROWSER_CACHE_MAX_AGE', 864000);				// Time to cache in the browser

if(! defined('DEFAULT_CC') )			define ('DEFAULT_CC', 'ffffff');							// Default canvas colour. Allows overrid in timthumb-config.php

//Image compression is enabled if either of these point to valid paths

//These are now disabled by default because the file sizes of PNGs (and GIFs) are much smaller than we used to generate.
//They only work for PNGs. GIFs and JPEGs are not affected.
if(! defined('OPTIPNG_ENABLED') ) 		define ('OPTIPNG_ENABLED', false);
if(! defined('OPTIPNG_PATH') ) 			define ('OPTIPNG_PATH', '/usr/bin/optipng'); //This will run first because it gives better compression than pngcrush.
if(! defined('PNGCRUSH_ENABLED') ) 		define ('PNGCRUSH_ENABLED', false);
if(! defined('PNGCRUSH_PATH') ) 		define ('PNGCRUSH_PATH', '/usr/bin/pngcrush'); //This will only run if OPTIPNG_PATH is not set or is not valid

Still doesn’t work!

My solution

open user-avatar.php

fide next code on line 596
$avatar_src = "/wp-content/uploads/avatars/".$item_id."/".$avatar_img;

and replace

$avatar_src = get_site_url()."/wp-content/uploads/avatars/".$item_id."/".$avatar_img;

and finde next code on line 602

$avatar_url = plugins_url('/user-avatar/user-avatar-pic.php')."?src=".$avatar_src ."&w=".$width."&id=".$item_id."&random=".$file_time;

and replace

$avatar_url = $avatar_src;

Hi Mexalim,
Your solution works! I had installed this plugin but was having the same problem everyone else was having. Then I followed your directions, and now I can see the avatars.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Pretty bogus that you have to edit a plugin to make it work, isn’t it?
