Hello all,

it is nice to have Gravatars built in with bbpress (and actually WP, of course). However, unless my users get to know about this service, they will never find out. They have nothing to do with the WP community and so they never heard of it. It’s like RSS to some remote amazon natives.

So I propose a small notice with a link to gravatar.com below the profile picture on user profile edit pages. Could the delevolers integrate that? I would be most happy!

Best
Manuel

what would the small notice say?

[Manuel Fritsch]

“Upload a profile picture on Gravatar.”

Something like that, possibly in better English, since I am not a native speaker.

Hi,
Try this in a child theme or functions.php (I didn’t really test it, but this could be a way to do):

function casiepa_mention_gravatar() {
            echo 'Upload a profile picture on <a href="gravatar.com">Gravatar</a>';
}

add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'casiepa_mention_gravatar' );
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_author_details', 'casiepa_mention_gravatar' );

Pascal.

Thanks, but it broke my site. Also, did you include the “? Please don’t.

I’m assuming you mean that it broke your layout, and not your site, because the code @casiepa posted works. Also, there’s no question mark in the code that he posted.

If you want the link to Gravatar to show only on a user’s edit profile page, try this:

function casiepa_mention_gravatar() {
?>

<div>
	<label for="bbp-gravatar-notice">Avatar</label>
	<span name="bbp-gravatar-notice" class="description">Manage your profile picture at <a href="https://gravatar.com" title="Gravatar">Gravatar</a>.</span>
</div>

<?php
}
add_action( 'bbp_user_edit_after_about', 'casiepa_mention_gravatar' );

[Manuel Fritsch]

It really had given me a white screen of death, or how it is called…

Well, thanks, Brandon! It shows right underneath the profile box, that is a good spot for it. Could you also tell me how to put the notice box in line with the rest of the fields?

(Image not working? Here is the link)

[Brandon Allen]

Try this

function casiepa_mention_gravatar() {
?>

<div>
	<label for="bbp-gravatar-notice">Avatar</label>
	<fieldset style="width: 60%;">
		<span style="margin-left: 0; width: 100%;" name="bbp-gravatar-notice" class="description">Manage your profile picture at <a href="https://gravatar.com" title="Gravatar">Gravatar</a>.</span>
	</fieldset>
</div>

<?php
}
add_action( 'bbp_user_edit_after_about', 'casiepa_mention_gravatar' );

Thank you Brandon! It looks great!

My gravatar shows correct on the gravatar page, but not on my site. I have that blue G. I linked my website. How long does it take to change the gravatar on my wordpress site gwynplum.com?
