Tell them to change the avatars on gravatar.com.
To make the page wider for the forum I put the following code in my themes page.php:
<?php if ( strpos($_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”], ‘forum’)) {
?>
<div class=”art-content” style=”width: 800px; margin-left: 99px;”>
<?php
}
else {
include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/sidebar1.php’);
?>
<div class=”art-content”>
<?php
}
this just looks for the string “forum” in the url, and if found styles the content such that it is 800px wide. Otherwise, it just uses the default width. It works, but may not be the best solution. Any other thoughts?
I installed the BBpress plugin into my WordPress install without any issues except one… Can someone tell me how I can let users of the forum update their Avatars? I’ve tried a number of plugins with no luck so far. Any suggestions?

When you delete a user from the WordPress administration panel, there is an option to either delete all of the users’ posts or switch their author to some other option. You can use the former option to remove spammer users’ posts. 
Tushar, I’d really appreciate if you could create a new topic for your issue and also post the problem you’re facing while installing bbPress 2.0 on WordPress. Thanks!
Can any one help me for the installation of bbpress on wordpress.

Got the same problem, see here: http://www.krcsc.co.uk
It’s very annoying – have tried changing this (below) in loop-single-forum.php and a couple of other files:
<?php bbp_author_link( array( ‘post_id’ => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), ‘size’ => 100 ) ); ?>
But it hasn’t worked.
I’m using the User Photo plugin in WordPress which has thrown up another problem in that I now have three different sizes of avatars/gravatars/user photos – 14px, 80px and 100px. I’d prefer for them all to be 80px but to be honest just want them all the same size.
Also, does anyone know how I can centre them in the table in the main forum and tops pages??? For the life of me I can’t.
Can anyone help?

I have used this plugin for my bbpress which was integrated along with wordpress MU, and it worked perfectly.
@catlawsonNHS
Yes, this plugin is for the standalone bbpress, not for wordpress.
Sorry for the late response as I was concentrating completely on some other things.
Well I found how to get rid of “This forum contains 2 topics and 3 replies…”
I edited bbp-forum-template.php -> function bbp_get_single_forum_description
I shorted out the function by setting $retstr to an html break tag.
It does the job perfectly, but oh this is so wrong to do it this way 😮
Please, please tell me there is a better way to do this!!!
I have searched for hours and I can’t make sense of how to customize a forum when using bbpress that was installed as a WP plug in.
I want to do two things:
1) get rid of the part that says “This forum contains 2 topics and 3 replies, and was last updated by John John 8 hours ago.”
2) I want to make the forum page wider than the default page width for my WordPress theme.
This seems like these should be very simple customization, but I just can’t figure out how to do it. Can someone point me to where I could learn step by step how to do this?
thanks,
Tom
Hi all,
I have searched the forums but can find nothing that discusses permalinks for the latest version install of WordPress and the BBpress plugin.
This is the issue: I have set up WordPress and then installed the BBpress plugin via the plugin installer.
I have added add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); to my theme and then built all the template pages required so that bbpress functions.
Here is the issue which I need help with:
With the Permalinks set to DEFAULT the integration works with no issues at all. However when I turn on pretty permalinks whilst the main forum page and topic pages work the USER and USER edit pages return a page not found.
I have looking at the SINGLE SLUG area and adjusted but I just resolve the 404 errors for these particular areas.
The one thing I did try is to set up a page called USER with he BBPRESS code. THis worked for the View page but not for the edit page.
Any help appreciated.

Hi guys ,
I couldn’t install v2 rc4 in my wordpress (latest version with mysql5 and php5). I have this error:
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 32505856) (tried to allocate 77824 bytes) in /plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-template.php on line 1572
Any chance to resolve this problem without increasing my php memory? I just increased it up to 40MB with php.ini because of other plugins and my host (1&1) told me that 40 MB is the max they allow.
Thanks in advance

I see the gravatar profile picture in the forum post and it’s 80 x 80. I would like them all to be 20 x 20, but I don’t know where to modify that. How and where can I do that?
Mark
P.S. I’m using the addin to WordPress.
Hi
I have found a patch that has worked for me and perhaps you may want to incorporate it into the plugin….
This is not my fix – details can be found at:

It worked for my installation so perhaps will be of general use.
Cheers
Does this little bit of code in the functions.php work? Is this the plugin you are talking about?
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1575
I’ve actually tried using the search bar here several times but it wasn’t working for a while, it was just bring up a broken page (I don’t think it was a 404). But it seems to be working now.
Is there any way to create two separate search bars? Or drop down options like in Buddypress to search Members, Groups, Forums, Posts?
Settings are set at 50 in the bbp_forums _per_page. Admin settings are also at 50.
WordPress settings are not limiting posts.
What confuses me most is that if I reduce these settings below 5, the displayed forums do not change..
What is more, there is no ‘next page’ tag to allow users to go beyond the 5 forums which are showing.
Topics are also limiting at 5., with the forum showing 1-5 of 37 topics, but no means to go beyond the first 5.
Any suggestions welcome.
You can do that fairly easily by reading the plugin descriptions. Please understand that this is a transitional period for bbPress, and things are going to be a little confusing for a while.
Also, keep in mind that any bbPress plugins in the WordPress repo, were there for a very, very specific use case, where bbPress stand-alone was integrated with WordPress. That type of setup is considered ‘advanced’ by most users, so the audience is limited.
Lastly, browsing the plugin repo for ‘bbpress’ probably isn’t going to really provide you the results you want anyways. You’ll have better luck looking for the functionality you want, and then seeing how nicely bbPress plays with it.
Perfect thanks. You’ll have a much better experience with it in the WordPress plugin repo; more downloads, users, etc…
Yes. Delete the plugin via your favorite FTP program, and see if things come back to normal. If so, you need to do some trouble shooting to see what the conflict is. If not, you still need to trouble shoot, but at least you know bbPress isn’t the problem.
Good question. The main reason it loads all the time is shortcodes. bbPress doesn’t have any way to know that the_content contains a shortcode when the head of the page is being processed, so including it all the time is the safest bet for most people.
If you want to dial in your installation, you can wrap the CSS enqueue in a is_bbpress() check. is_bbpress() returns true when WordPress is loading up a bbPress specific page.
