This question is not about bbPress but about this site. I have edited my profile but I don't see how can I change my picture (avatar). I tried on Internet Explorer and also on FireFox, but it looks like there isn't a field for doing this.

Thanks.

Visit: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-avatar/
Desc: Allows users to associate photos with their accounts by accessing their "Your Profile" page that default as Gravatar or WordPress Default image (from Discussion Page).

.bbp-author-avatar {
display: none;
}

to the css file andre pointed to it will probably stop all avatars being displayed anywhere in the forum

You can see my forum here: http://revyportalen.no/forums/forum/revyportalen-forum-2/

Help is very much appreciated! Especially if someone could point me straight to the solution since I don't really know css :/

Sorry about the hassle but im kind of noob on coding!

I just installed the bbPress plugin on my blog-network. I am using a plug-in called user image that lats people upload profile pictures. The only problem with bbpress is that everytime the username is showing it also shows the profile picture which makes the forum looks really messy.

What can I do to prevent bbpress from showing the users profile picture everywhere?

Let's assume that you created a new sidebar called 'bbpress' via your functions file. This means that when you go to the sidebar manager, that you can see one called bbpress.

Next, take the sidebar.php file from your theme and make a copy. Name it bbpress-sidebar.php.

Here is an example of my bbpress-sidebar.php code.

<div id="sidebar" role="complementary">

		<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('bbpress') ) : ?>
		<?php endif; ?>

	</div>

Finally there are a number of bbpress templates that call the sidebar. Replace those calls with:

<?php get_sidebar( 'bbpress' ); ?>

Wrapping up:
1. You registered a new sidebar called 'bbpress'
2. You created a new template file called bbpress-sidebar.php
3. You edited the bbpress-sidebar.php file to ask for the bbPress sidebar.
4. You replaced all the calls to the sidebar with the new call to the bbpress sidebar.

That's about it. If it is still causing you problems then I suggest reading a few resources.

*Author avatars.

JJ already thought about this and added in a filter where you can choose to display just the username and not the avatar.

<?php bbp_topic_author_link( array( 'type' => 'name' ) ); ?>

You will see a lot of functions like the one above throughout the bbPress templates. Anywhere you find an avatar that you want to remove and just show the username, simply add the 'type' => 'name' and your good to go.

**There may be a global way of doing this, but I did not look as I didn't need it myself.

I have created custom sidebars.

And I see in the .php files that there's always the <?php get_sidebar(); ?> in the bottom. Somewhere I read that I should inside the () add the name of the forum, but where do I find this name/adress to the sidebars I have created?

Also: I have a wordpress plug-in "user image" that lets users have profile pictures. The problem is that bbpress inserts the profil picture everywhere it inserts the username which makes the forum look really messy. Any suggestions?

Best regards

I figured out that the place where the code should exist is in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php so I stuck a message that says "avatar should go here". Here's the code from that page: http://pastebin.com/dMLeD6LV

But what do I need to put there so the avatar actually shows? Please advise. Thanks in advance!

Very long story short...

I started by registering a custom sidebar just for the forums.

I then took all of the bbpress templates and rewrite them from scratch to include my custom code and forum sidebar.

*Keep in mind that bbPress templates are nothing more than WordPress templates, so all rules that you follow when building a custom theme also apply to bbPress. Trying to explain how to build custom templates is WAY outside the scope of what I can provide. There are numerous tutorials all over the internet to get you started.

**If you are not comfortable writing template code, then widget context is definitely the way to go.

I noticed I can remove them by editing the HTML, but when a new topic is created the avatar is pulled right back in. I would suspect I may need to comment out some of the php somewhere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

.bbp-reply-author img	{
	height:50px;
	width:50px;
}

Change the height & width to the desired size.
