Avatars not showing up

[71Corvette]

Hello,

I've loaded this plugin on my site and I believe I've configured everything properly. The most recent posts show up on my homepage, but the avatars are not loading properly. The avatars from my phpBB forum aren't showing up. Additionally, an avatar isn't showing up next to each post.

My website is www.corvette-restoration.com and my forum is www.forum.corvette-restoration.com

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Tim

I spent some more time with this tonight. I've verified that:

* my .htaccess file is updated
* chmod is set to 755 for the upload folder of phpBB
* Gravatars option is turned on in phpBB
* Avatars option is turned on in the discussion section of wordpress

Still not having much luck. I'm going to wait for some thoughts before I break something.

I do believe my webhost puts some limitations on hot linking by default, maybe that has something to do with this?

yes i see ... into your widget for an user that have not set an avatar in phpBB, the correct mystery shown.
while the phpBB avatar, if it is set, not show because:
the plugin search for custom user's uploaded avatars into (the resulting url of the image on widget is):

Code: Select all

http://www.forum.corvette-restoration.com/images/avatars/upload/fa32204b6318e94f394bfa900d906505_2.jpg

while your avatars urls are, so the resulting avatar url in this case, should be:

Code: Select all

http://www.forum.corvette-restoration.com/download/file.php?avatar=2_1255917380.jpg

do you use a phpBB mod for avatars?

I don't have a mod for avatar photos. However, when Photobucket changed their system I ran a script that downloaded and saved all photos on Photobucket to my forum and then updated the links on my forum. I didn't think this changed avatars but I could be wrong.

Any suggestions on how I should resolve this?

mh ... unfortunately seem that your avatar images are processed in a not default phpBB way, the path is different and filenames of images also.
the problem seem to be how this can come out and what kind of modification has been done by the process you've perform to get these images available as avatars into phpBB after transferred from this service with his procedure.

Into ACP, under Avatar Setting
what you've as resulting value for the Avatar storage path setting?

If you try to update an avatar for an user, what happen? his avatar is stored where?

The paths is: images/avatars/gallery

Let me give that a shot. I'll update my avatar and see what happens.
