How to display BuddyPress avatar in bbPress?

Question

I have bbPress 2.1.2 and BuddyPress 1.6.1 installed on a 3.4.2 WordPress site.

I want to display BuddyPress avatars on the forums by bbPress.

How do I do that?

I've tried

include(WP_PLUGIN_DIR."/buddypress/bp-loader.php");

in header.php
and
called

bp_get_member_avatar()  

but no success

Answer 1

Try this. Let me know if this works for you.

echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( 'item_id='.get_post_author_id() );
