I was fairly certain that would happen. There would have to be a preference stored in the database for each user in order for the avatar to stay with them.

Could be done with some work, bot sure it really adds much as you can use as many default avatars as you’d like this way.

Anyway, glad I could help.

It works now. The avatars do change when the page is refreshed.Not a big deal i guess. If people don’t want to add a personal avatar than so be it.

I just thought it made the site look more active with different random avatars.
thanks

The src to the image you posted isn’t local. So, something is up.

Src=http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/
259106c9a5487302e463981844241391?d=images/default_avatar_3.png&s=50

Also, I know i didn’t post it before, but you’ll still need to return the get_stylesheet_directory_uri() function before your image path.

function myavatar_add_default_avatar( $url ){
	$randomNumber = rand(5, 15);
	$imgPath =  '/_inc/images/default-grav-' .  $randomNumber . '.png';
return get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .$imgPath;
}
add_filter( 'bp_core_mysteryman_src', 'myavatar_add_default_avatar' );

Using local avatars.

/* custom avatars */
function myavatar_add_default_avatar( $url ){
$randomNumber = rand(1, 3);
$imgPath = '_inc/images/default_grav_' . $randomNumber . '.png';
return $imgPath;
}
add_filter( 'bp_core_mysteryman_src', 'myavatar_add_default_avatar' );
