WP Version 5.2.4
bbPress Version 2.5.14
bbp style pack Version 4.3.2

With bbp style, I have tried the Gravatar option for User’s avatars.
It seems it will be too complicated for many.

What is the best option to setup self-uploads for avatars for the forum?
And, to change out the default avatar for the forum with a custom one?

since bbpress just uses the WordPress avatar system, then anything that allows users to upload should work

simple local avatar looks like it is worth looking at

You want custom upload try their plugin “WP User Avatar”.

Mahalo … WP User Avatar works great with bbpress and bbstyle pack!
