I have found that this is a plugin issue. Not a BBPress issue. So now I have to see if I can fix that LOL
I managed to fix my original issue which was caused by a social login plugin creating default avatars from facebook profile pictures, however I have come round full circle lol
I decided I wanted the avatar on the topic page larger and so changed the sizes from 80 to 120 in the only files I can find the code in, loop-single-topic.php and loop-single-forum.php
This has successfully changed the image sizes in the listings (kept to 50px via css) but has had no effect on the topic page. I have searched and searched and feel like I am banging my head on a brick wall lol

I think the file you need to edit is the loop-single-reply.php file if you want 120px avatars.
If you allowed the lead topic to show, you edit loop-single-topic-lead.php too.
I tried looking at those files but they don’t have the same code for the avatar size as the other two I edited, so I don’t know where to do from there lol
This forum looks to have a similar issue, the avatar for the first post has an 80px image scaled up to 100px whereas the replies are fine.
I guess I am stuck with it for the time being lol
I have found that the following files have functions that might be making the size stick no matter what
From bbpress\includes\topics\template.php
function bbp_get_topic_author_link( $args = '' ) {
// Parse arguments against default values
$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
'post_id' => 0,
'link_title' => '',
'type' => 'both',
'size' => 80,
'sep' => ' ',
'show_role' => false
), 'get_topic_author_link' );
And from bbpress\includes\replies\template.php
function bbp_get_reply_author_link( $args = '' ) {
// Parse arguments against default values
$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
'post_id' => 0,
'link_title' => '',
'type' => 'both',
'size' => 80,
'sep' => ' ',
'show_role' => false
), 'get_reply_author_link' );
If someone could write me a function for just the size part perhaps that would work? I don’t know enough to be able to write one myself lol
You can customize the <?php bbp_reply_author_link(); ?> and add more attributes to it like what is explained in this guide.
bbp_reply_author_link
The functions you found, show the default arguments set for the links.
Perfect! Thanx so much 🙂 I saw that page wheile I was searching how to do the function but somehow missed the size section there lol
