Here is how to correctly install Avatar Upload.

The “Additional Info” is not too detailed.

Here is the instructions on how to get the plugin (currently) on your bbPress site:

1. Download and upload the plugin to your bbPlugins directory.

2. Activate the plugin in the bbPress Admin section.

3. Follow the file movement instructions:

In the “additional-files” folder (inside this Avatar Upload plugin directory) there is several files. These need to be moved elsewhere.

• Move the entire “avatars/” folder to your bbPress root directory. (Including the “default.png” inside.)
• Move the “avatar-upload.php” to the bbPress root directory.
• Move the “avatar.php” (inside the “my-templates” folder) to your template(s) (theme(s)). Example: Move “my-templates/avatar.php” to “forums/bb-templates/kakumei/” (So it is like “forums/bb-templates/kakumei/avatar.php”.)

I hope this helps someone

It’s still not working for me

[NiksE]

It’s still not working for me Maybe somebody can tell why? When I press on Avatar icon then openning the forum homepage? I really need this plugin!!!

[imcoach]

Yeah, I’ve just spent the last 2 hours trying to figure this out… At first I thought I was just reading the instructions wrong. I’ve been trying to read into it and plop code randomly. I’ve gone over the instructions as to which file to put where about 5 times……..

…I’ll let you know if I figure it out, lol.. if I don’t give up shortly and go back to phpbb.

can anyone else help me, im as the above, i click on ‘Avatars’ and it takes me back to the homepage???

Anyone know why? Really need this plugin!!!

[gfsymon]

I am taken back to the main forum page as well, when I use this plugin. The template/default image, works etc., but I cannot set an image for the avatar.

I’m just setting up BBPress, as a first ever bulletin board and am beginning to think that this software is waaaayyy to complex/geeky. No Avatars on a web-forum software???

I’m having the problem “click ‘Avatar’ in profile, go back to home page” problem as well.

I’ve narrowed it down to the bb_auth call in the avatar-upload.php file line 7. The cookies – at least for me, an admin – seem wrong. I’m going to clear my cookies and try it again. I’m also going to test with a different user – not an admin and see how that goes.

o i think this one might help (regarding to the topic i started earlier: “Changing Avatars”). Will try this one first and get back to my thread to update if this works.

best,

Has anyone got this plugin to work again?

[ratsoid2]

I got avatars in my forums. If anyone needs guidance, just ask.

[philsown]

Ratsoid2 – Consider this me asking. Please let us know what you did to get avatars working. Thanks

@philsown

should edit avatar-upload.php

changing line 7, the following

do bb_auth (); / / logged in?

with

bb_auth ('logged_in'); / / logged in?

Please let me know, if this work for you, thanks

It works great for me. Cheers.

Thanks for the information friend…

[janoochen]

@ratsoid2 Hey thanks it worked.

But when I click Modify your avatar. I get sent to a page. The thickbox doesn’t appear.

[ratsoid2]

Check the other solutions on the wp forum… something like:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-user-photo-front-end-upload?replies=17#post-2226189

The solution I posted worked and I don’t know what to tell you… Maybe you can put a pop-up link instead of using thickbox/prettyphoto/any other overlay plugin.
