Hi,

This is my first posting to this forum. I am beginning to test bbPress and have installed it on a development site. I have created one forum containing an intial “Welcome” topic.
See: http://dev.asbyparish.org.uk/forums/forum/asby-gardening-club/

The first thing that strikes me is the very weird aspect ratio of the avatars. Especially as my understanding is that avatars are always square(??)

How can I control the avatar size?
I see nothing under Settings > Forums, which is what I would expect.

Thanks,
Geoff

Update:
This appears to be associated with another WP PLugin: “Ultimate Member”. If I disable this plugin I get avatars that are square (I’d guess around 15px).
Not sure whether to try to pursue this with the Ultimate Member team or via bbPress . 😐

Start by contacting ultimate member.

Hi Robin,
I am in contact with Ultimate Member over this issue. (Unfortunately I don’t have much confidence in having a fix any time soon).
In the meanwhile, is there any way of suppressing the use of avatars in bbPress? (I don’t see anything in Settings to control this.)
Thanks,
Geoff

in your custom css area try adding

.avatar {
display : none ;
}

[@tradewind25 Participant 6 years, 6 months ago]

Yep – that does the trick.
a) It removes the small impression of the avatar from wherever the user name is included in a sentence
b) It removes the larger version from the left hand side of the topic/reply post itself.
Thanks Robin.

Now, at the risk of pushing my luck, is there anyway of achieving (a) whilst retaining (b)?

may or may not work – but try

.avatar {
display : none ;
}

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author img.avatar, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
	display : block !important
}

The original turns it off, and the second turns it on again for topics and replies

Robin,

Apologies for the late response – I have been away for a while.

I’m happy to say that your revised css code does that job nicely!

Many thanks,
Geoff
