When I or some of the users upload a new avatarpicture, they get a white screen after it. No error message at all!

I tried out and think, when sourcepictures are bigger than 1024x768 this bug occurs.

Enable DEBUG_MODE for your website in ow_includes/config.php and check for the error.

I've only ever seen this error when the file size is bigger then the max upload size limit.


What size is the file? 1mb, 2mb, 5mb etc

What is the file upload limit? (as set in either php.ini and admin>settings)

I'll check debug mode later, good idea. :)

Upload Limit was set to max.
Uploaded filesize was under 1M, so that can't cause the error.

this is happening to me as well

i enabled debug mode as well as dev mode both seperately and together and was unable to recieve an error message also it does this white screen with no errors on photos and groups plugins i have set ow_userfiles folder and subfolder and files to 777 as well as the folders ow_static and ow_pluginfiles i also get the same thing when i try to run cron although i dont know if thats supposed to give feedback. i would like a fix for this soon as im want to launch my website soon. i also checked to see if it uploaded any files and the only ones were from the news feed plugins it would be great if theres a fix for this soon


it doesn't work for any file size or resolution

thanks for that reply i figured out what the problem was caused by maxing out the admin settings to the servers max seems to cause this issue so leaving some mb lower than the max les it function properly
