Avatar Folders (to choose pre-made avvys?)

Hello. I would like to know if there is a plugin or work-around to have a folder or drop-down list of folders to choose from a listing of pre-uploaded avatars, similar to other forum softwares.

I do not want users to use gravatar, twitter or upload their own avatars. I just want a listing from the folder on my website. However, I am having trouble finding a plugin or tutorial on how to do this.

I apologize if what I am asking for is something simple to do, because I am completely new to wordpress and bbpress (I came over from phpbb). I don’t mind editing core files if that is what needs to be done. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can select from various default avatars included with WordPress in the WordPress Dashboard -. Settings -> Discussion (/wp-admin/options-discussion.php)

Or look at adding one of the many avatar plugins:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=avatar and/or https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=avatar+bbpress

I don’t mind editing core files if that is what needs to be done.

This should never be done, when WordPress or bbPress has an update you will lose the changes you made.

Hello. Thankyou for the reply. The problem with using the Custom Default Avatar plugin is that users cannot choose which avatar from that list that they want to use. They only have two options, one default or upload their own.

I want them to be able to choose from a list of avatars with a drop-down or radio button. Is there a plugin for this or a snippet of code I can put into my child theme to enable this?

Thanks

I don’t know if any of the avatar plugins will do what you need it to do though with ~350 + avatar plugins via https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=avatar and/or 26 listed also with ‘bbPress’ at https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=avatar+bbpress maybe take a look at some of these other plugins and see if one of those will do what you want.

Thank you. I have looked through them and have not found one that does what I need specifically.

Is there a way I could do this myself in my child theme?

You could write some custom code to do it in a child theme though it would probably be quicker to fork an existing plugin that will do it for you with bbPress.

@imath’s BuddyPress plugin comes close to what you want I think and would be a good starting point to convert it from BuddyPress to bbPress.
