Thanks for the advice. I think I’ll look into the “Add Local Avatar” plugin and see what knowledge I can take from there. I do have the avatars setup inside /avatars so that’s a good place to start. If nothing else I’ll pick up plenty of PHP along the way.
@zaerl, point taken.
Yes, I am indeed using the ‘Add Local Avatar’ plugin within WP, and now that someone has been so kind to point out my loss of common sense, it’s very apparent why integrating WP via sharing cookies would have no affect on a user’s avatar which does not reside in that database.
So this leaves me with a problem, how do I get avatars from a specific directory to be recognized within bbPress relative to a user based on a shared session cookie?
I’m assuming some sort of call within my post.php file which is where the avatar will be called into action, but this is beyond my limited PHP knowledge, any advice on how to proceed forward?
The site Admin email is actually the same email I have registered with gravatar.com, which shows the gravatar fine in WP. The issue that when a new user registers for the site and uploads an avatar (global or local), their avatar then displays correctly in WP, but nothing in bbPress. I should point out that all registration of new users is handled through WP, hence the need for integration with bbPress. User integration appears to be functioning normally except no visible avatars/gravatars in bbPress.
I’m having the same issue and looking for a resolution as to why my mapped user roles (inside Settings > WordPress Integration) that are setup as ‘bbPress Member’ are being ignored and new users are automatically being labeled as ‘Inactive’ upon registration.
If this is an issue you’ve resolved since posting, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
WP 2.9.2 / bbP 1.0.2
