I’ve been playing with bbpress, by default there are no Avatars, I’ve made a little adjustment to the plugin by Joshua Hutchins
Here is my Forum Post: Avatar  bbPress plugin browser
I wrote an extra function for your plugin so that the avatar can be displayed on the profile page…
function profile_avatar() {
global $user;
if ( get_avatar_loc ( $user->ID ) ) {
echo ‘<img src=”‘ . get_avatar_loc( $user->ID ) . ‘” alt=”‘ . $user->user_login . ‘s Avatar”‘ . ‘ />’;
}
}Styles & img sizes could be added into the tag as desired…. then in profile.php template, add…
<?php if ( function_exists(‘profile_avatar’) ) { profile_avatar(); } ?>
hope that helps
