Hi baszer,

Our testing environment was using WP 3.0 + and we've tested this plugin on Firefox, Safari, IE 7+ and know it works for other standard browsers as well. Please make sure that both your WordPress and Internet Browser are working. With the information you have provided it is difficult for me to figure out if there is a problem with the plugin. Also, please grab the latest version and replace the current version of User Avatar on your host. Try to re-activate the plugin and see if that helps out.

Please also remember that this plugin is made directly for People Lists (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/people-lists/) to make it easier for users to upload their photos...something that should be in the core! =]

Hope this helps,

Hi,

I'm having the same problem as baszer. I can choose a picture on my computer, I can press the upload button, I can crop the image, but after that in the Here's your new picture... dialog, the old picture stays there.
I installed the latest version and tried in Firefox 3.6.8, IE 8.
I also tried setting permissions to 777 to your plugin's directory.
Any ideas?

Thanks
Chantal

Hey cperugino,

We have set the plugin's upload directory to 777 permission, so that shouldn't be an issue...
```
if( !file_exists(WP_CONTENT_DIR."/uploads/avatars/") )
	mkdir(WP_CONTENT_DIR."/uploads/avatars/", 0777 ,true);
```
Check to make sure there's a folder inside your 'wp-content' that is called 'uploads', which has directory 'avatars' and then creates a folder named with uid storing the two sizes of images used.

Basically check to make sure the URL paths are leading to the right places with your install of WordPress. The program is working fine for me and many other users, so it's either your permissions or directory structure that may be causing problems.

Please post back here if you figure out what it is!

Sorry I can't be of more help and I will try to find some time to look into it.

Good luck,
ctltdev

Hi! Thanks for the detailed info. I seem to have a problem on the server side. The uploads directory is 777 but not the avatar under it. It refuses to stay at 777. I contacted support to see if they can set it at 777.

Thanks!

Hi a.luiz.n,

Your issue is a bit different than the previous posters, but similar in a sense. The code behind your error is:
```
if( !file_exists($_POST['attachment_file']) ) {
		echo "<div class='error'><p>Sorry, No file available</p></div>";
```
and..

<input type="hidden" name="attachment_file" id="attachment_file" value="<?php echo esc_url($file); ?>" />

For some reason, your file from your disk is not getting read and therefore this error is spit out later in the code because it didn't POST the image URL on your disk earlier. More than likely, this is a permission error, similar to the previous posters and I would suggest that you set the folder where your image is stored to 777 making them accessible for the plugin to use.

Hope this helps!

Also, TO ALL POSTERS HERE, I will be releasing a new updated version of user-avatar...possibly today! I have gotten lots of feedback and hope that you guys like the new functionality!

Cheers,
Gagan.

Hi sgagan!

I've upgraded from user avatar v0.5 to v1.5.
It did not work for me until I've changed:

line 486 in user-avatar.php
from
$avatar_folder_dir = USER_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH."{$user}/";
to
$avatar_folder_dir = USER_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH."{$id}/";

Installed the plugin, had no problems uploading my avatar, but when a comment is posted to my blog, I get the following:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /home/footb760/public_html/wp-content/plugins/user-avatar/user-avatar.php on line 483

Along with at notice, the post can no longer be commented to, at least in my eyes. here is a link:

http://footballingeneralonline.com/2010/08/22/welcome-to-fig-my-first-post-as-this-community-goes-live/#comment-3

Let me know how to fiox this, as my members are anxious to upload their own avatars/profile pics.

Scott try ambro23's fix, otherwise, I will update on Thursday.

Sorry for any inconvenience,

Gagan.

baszer and cperugino: same Problem here!
after upload and crop, no Picture, only a white left/right stripe.

have found the Problem, but i am to lame to fix it in the .php code from sgagan, hope the Author have time for us to make us happy.

The Problem are the Directory- and File Permissions of the uploads,
the Plugin not use:

define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0755 );
define( 'FS_CHMOD_FILE', 0644 );

from wp-config.php and write the Directory and Files with default FTP Permissions from the Server, my server writes by default the directory with 2750 and the files with 640 Permissions, and that ist not readable for the Plugin after upload.

for testing: upload your Avatar and then go to the ftp server and set the directorys under uploads to 755 and all the files under uploads to 644, then this great Plugin works fine, but this way are a lame way, the Author "must" fix it ... please!!

hi all, i have got the solution! (for my problem)

maybe its helpfull to somebody else.

First i did not want avatars at all, so i turned the checkbox "do not show avatars" on. I totally forgot, and then i installed your avatar-plugin.

So people, turn it on!! :)

thank you for your reply.

@affenkind
Thanks for this fix. I had to change the directory and all the files to 755. I suspect this may be a security loop hole of some sort but I am not an expert. I hope my site is safe. BTW, there is a director under "Avatars" named "2". I have this working with:

Theme my Login
Theme my Profile
Gravatar for WP
People lists
User Avatar (duh)

Update to post: I now have the problem that new users (default Subscribers) don't seem to have permission to upload a picture. They get redirected to their profile page. Any hints for a hack?

Sorry to keep posting to my own post but I am desperate for a fix to my issue; the issue is that no one below the role of Editor can upload their picture and I do not wish to grant editorial rights to subscribers.

I suspect the correction might be made here:

if(($profile->ID == $current_user->ID || is_super_admin($current_user->ID)))

Any suggestions?

Im having a problem with making a crop. It does upload the original picture to my server, but when i press the crop image I get the error saying "Sorry, No file available"

The orginal image gets uploaded to wp-content/uploads/2010/10 and the wp-content/uploads/avatars is created
trying to set folders or files to 777 with ftp only it gives me the error: "504 Command not implemented for that parameter". Yes its a windows server.
I turn read only of, but as soon as i apply it, its back there.

My problem is that I cannot crop my image. The "pre-cropped" image that shows up is the correct one and does not need cropping necessarily, so I can go with it, although I would like to tighten it up some. When I click on cropped and finished, all that shows up is a black square. When I originally put my new gravatar image up, What came up was an elongated image with a black bar down the side. Ever since I went back in to try and xorrect it, it has not allowed me to do anything! So I have switched back to the older image I had, which I also cannot crop. Trying to resize the box, or even move the area up and down just gives me a pop up ø sign. What can I do? Gravatar gave me a support e-mail address, but that address is invalid. It is: support@gravatar.com

The plugin works fine. No problems at all, however we will not be using it. There is no way to set the size of the finished image desired, and these are too large for our liking.

Please add a resizing option. Thank you for your time.

I found the issue causing the message "Sorry, Image not available" after cropping to be to do with a site hosted on a windows server. For some reason the wordpress sanitising code esc_url returns an empty string with windows IIS. Hence the form id="iframe-crop-form" has no value for the hidden input element "attachment_file" and the image gets lost (although it has actually been uploaded to the general uploads directory).
My quick fix was to change line 280 of user-avatar.php (as of version 1.2.1)
from
<input type="hidden" name="attachment_file" id="attachment_file" value="<?php echo esc_url($file); ?>" />
to
<input type="hidden" name="attachment_file" id="attachment_file" value="<?php echo $file; ?>" />

i'm sure there's a better solution for this but it's lunch time now and so i have other priorities. cheers.
