Error when trying to upload avatar

[whey]

We are getting an error when trying to upload/change avatar. After a user clicks upload they are then returned to a error page stating:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/meganc/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php on line 264

Any ideas?

Make sure the wp-content/blogs.dir and containing folders have write permissions.

still getting the same error after i modified the folder.

any suggestions?

@whey, are you able to upload images within WordPress?

[apeatling]

Regardless, the WP_Error needs to be fixed.

It seems that this patch was never applied? It's not part of 1.2.3

I'm reopening this for the latest 1.3-bleed.

Upon uploading any images for a group, this message pops up:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in \htdocs\site\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-core\bp-core-avatars.php on line 292

Its running on localhost, and folder permissions are correct.

If you're running trunk, it's several versions behind the 1.2 branch, and so errors and inconsistencies between the current release version are to be expected.

Ahh thanks DJPaul... should have realised that was the case!
