    I suspect the problem I have is related to how another plugin is handling things but would appreciate any advice.

    I have a file structure of wp-content/uploads/sitename set in each of four WP-Hived sites. For every "usual" purpose this has worked fine. Media added to posts or pages, attached files and the like.

    I am now wrestling with getting Buddypress working on one of the sites.

    Everything works as expected except avatars. I can neither upload avatars nor delete them. Default gawdy avatars are shown. I've found the code in some of the php files but its opaque to me so my choice has been to delete the relevant code -- which does work but avatars infest the entire code base and it's a challenge to find all the necessary script that needs to be deleted.

    It's a lousy solution because even a small community of users expect to have their favourite pic for their avatar.

    This may have nothing at all to do with the Hive. I'm using an "upgraded" non-bp theme. So it is possible that the theme is responsible. But I think I've ruled that out by switching to the default bp theme and the problem persists.

    Anyone have any ideas or experience with buddypress and WP_hive together?

    I found the solution and it is unrelated to WP-Hive. There is a problem in the core code of Buddypress.

    I hope these posts are not a waste of space, as some other WP-Hive user may in future wonder if the problem is in the Hive. The answer is, it's not <smile>.
