I want to increase the size of an avatar on a forums landing page. I could just go into loop-single-topic.php and change this line:

<?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '14' ) ) ); ?>

But I’d rather not edit core files. I’m having troubles making this change in my functions.php with apply_filter. Wondering if anyone can help me out here.

That’s how you should change it — except copy that file and put it into your theme’s directory:

wp-content/themes/yourtheme/bbpress

@tecca Awesome! Duh! I had tried that but without the /bbpress/ dir. Thanks for the help.
