# Multisite issue?

 * Hi there,
 * I have a multisite installation with multiple subsites. WordPress and all plugins
   are up to date.
 * The “main” base site is a dummy site; the active sites are all subsites in the
   multisite installation. Some of the users are active across multiple subsites.
 * I have had a problem with disappearing avatars for some users. It appears that
   setting an avatar for a user on one subsite can disable the atavar for that user
   on the other subsite(s). We need to be able to configure the avatar for User 
   X on subsite Y without it changing or losing the avatar on subsite Z.
 * Do you have a fix for this? Happy to apply a patch if you have one.
    Cheers.

 * [@kona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kona/) Thanks for the report. This
   is a known issue that we are currently working on. You can follow the progress
   of that on [GitHub](https://github.com/10up/simple-local-avatars/issues/26). 
   Our goal is to have this out in the next release.

 * Hi again, your latest update has lost **all** of the avatar images in our bbPress
   forums on **all** of our subsites in the multisite installation mentioned above.
   Do you have a fix for this? I can apply a PHP patch manually if need be.

 * Just to follow up, using your “Migrate avatars from WP User Avatar to Simple 
   Local Avatars” button in “Discussion Settings” has restored some but not all 
   of the avatars.
 * It’s difficult to be 100% certain of the fault pattern, but I notice for example
   that there are filename problems. For example, one missing avatar has the following
   image url:
    `https://domain-redacted/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2020/09/PersonName-
   90x120-1.jpg`
 * That’s a 404; the filesystem only contains the following uploads:
 *     ```
       ./sites/5/2020/09/PersonName-90x120-1-90x72.jpg
       ./sites/5/2021/10/PersonName-110x147-1-110x72.jpg
       ```
   
 * This avatar was working properly until your recent plugin update.
