I found a solution by checking out how to tweak the avatar size for standard Gravatars in WordPress and then applied it to the BBPress code like so:

<?php post_author_avatar_link('avatar_size=100'); ?>

I know it's 2 years ago someone posted, but I figured it might be useful to somebody :)

Is there any way to make Gravatars opt-in? So users would have to check a box in their profile to display one?

Many thanks!!!

I tried the "Avatar Upload" plugin, but it doesn't work. When I click in the "Avatar" link in the profile, it just sends me to the home page.

Thanks

What is the most effective way, something where 10 years from now I wont be dealing with having to switch methods... :)

Thanks!

The system (Debian 6) was missing or had an old version of php5-gd installed. apt-get install php5-gd and restarting the apache2 server fixed the problem of the blank pages.

Also these code changes by _ck_ helped to improve Avatar Upload:

Delete avatar function: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/page/5/#post-1093
Make identicon function work: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/page/5/#post-1096

I've having a bit of a problem with this Avatar Upload plugin when uploading files larger than the specified dimensions. If I do so bbPress just displays a blank page with this address: http://<forumdomain>/bbforum/profile/<user>/avatar

Has anyone come across this before and can help?

Here's the code from post.php

and nothing is showing.

Can you post here the HTML generated?

I've tried:

if ( $avatar = bb_get_avatar( bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' ), 80 ) ) {
echo $avatar;
unset( $avatar ); }

With the PHP tags on the start and end. I've added the code on the profile.php file of my template as well as on the post.php file and nothing is showing.

Do I need to do an img src as well?

thanks for your help!

The user's gravatar will be displayed on your site if the email at gravatar.com and the email they registered with on your forum are the same.

thanks much!

I use:

if ( $avatar = bb_get_avatar( bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' ), 80 ) ) {
	echo $avatar;
	unset( $avatar );
}

Can i find somewhere a reference with all the possible functions?

grz,

And as always, THANKS!

There is no "upload" here. The avatars are pulled from gravatar.com

Thanks.
