in your site.php stick these in:

define('AVATAR_WIDTH', 80);
define('AVATAR_HEIGHT', 80);

change 80 to what you want :)

Hey, thanks for the help, however, when I changed it in config/site.php, I got the actual box for the picture larger on my webpages but the original upload (that I re-uploaded) saved at 80x80 and so it's all blurry. Any other ideas?

I finally got this to work by editing the heights variables and making sure that the image would display in those dimensions, but now the avatar editor flash thing doesn't work, and leaves the square box (old dimensions) into the actual image when saved. Any ideas on how to fix this?

i edited concrete/config/base.php line416
define('AVATAR_WIDTH', 160);
define('AVATAR_HEIGHT', 160);
this fixes the avatar resolution

In response to teknojunkie's post, do NOT set this in /concrete/config ...

... follow Mnkras's advice and put those settings in your /config/site.php file.
Otherwise your changes will be overwritten when/if you upgrade your c5 installation.

I followed Mnkras's instructions. What I want to change is the output size of the Avatar on a blog post. Even following his instruction the avatar on the blog posting is still 60x60

I'm not sure why this is, but it appears to have the change stick to both the avatar images and in the flash avatar uploader, AVATAR_WIDTH and AVATAR_HEIGHT have to be set in both the /config/site.php and in /config/site_theme_paths.php. This is as of 5.6.2.1.

Probably a good idea to add checks in both places to see if the constants have been defined...

if( !defined(AVATAR_WIDTH) ) define('AVATAR_WIDTH', 200);
if( !defined(AVATAR_HEIGHT) ) define('AVATAR_HEIGHT', 200);

Does anyone know how to do this in 5.7? I'm just looking to customize the avatar size/dimensions.

I'm assuming the application/config/generated_overrides/concrete.php file is the place to start, but which array and the actual attributes to use are eluding me. Any guidance would be helpful!

The settings appear to be in concrete\config\concrete.php. The default avatar width and height are both 80 (80px).
https://github.com/concrete5/concrete5/blob/develop/web/concrete/con...

Example: change the avatar size to 150px by 150px
- open concrete.php
application\config\concrete.php
- if you don't have a concrete.php file with that path, create one
- add the following code

<?php
return array(
    'icons' => array(
        'user_avatar' => array(
            'width'   => 150,
            'height'  => 150,
            'default' => ASSETS_URL_IMAGES . '/avatar_none.png'
        )
    ),
);
