This question may be related to a resolved thread.
Kevin mentions here in this thread http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/205525/#965611 that you have to “check” “Display member avatars in entries” to get {photo_url} to work.
I think this is an unexpected behavior.
I don’t see it addressed in 2.5 change log. Should I create a bug?
[edit]
Just to confirm, guests can see {photo_url} just fine but logged in users with that box unchecked cannot.

Hi Chris,
Methinks there is a bit of confusion. Avatars and Photos are different. You likely want to use {avatar_url} in place of {photo_url}
If you use {avatar_url} do you get the results you expect?
Cheers,

Hi Yoda,
Unless photo is called avatar and avatar is called photo in the panel I think I have it straight, I actually have avatars disabled 😊 How can I help fix this?

Hi Chris,
Errors, there are, in the User Guide.
As noted by this user, can you see if that description matches your experience.
Thanks!

Yea. The user in that thread looks to be having the same issue. I honestly don’t even know why this option exists to the user. The same functionality could be done with a custom member field and an if statement and none of these threads would exist 😊
