There’s two ways you can do this.

1) Filter the avatar output

Try adding the following to your theme’s functions.php.

Disclaimer: Untested!

`
add_filter( ‘bp_core_avatar_title’, ‘__return_false’ );
add_filter( ‘bp_core_avatar_alt’, ‘__return_false’ );
`

2) Use javascript
You can also dynamically remove the title and alt text via javascript if desired.

-bbPress has been a stand-alone forum software for many years and there is still a stand-alone version to date. Not sure how long the stand-alone version will be supported though.
– bbPress the WP plugin came about with JJJ involvement. Stable version rolled out sometime WP 3.2.1 and it has been made compatible with BuddyPress 1.5
– BuddyPress uses internal (fork of the standalone) bbPress as forums for groups since version 1.0 stable and now you can also install bbPress 2.0.2 as the sitewide forums. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
– There are plans to migrate the forums for groups to the sitewide forums sometime soon.

You’re not likely to lose any forum posts. Always suscribe to backup backup backup database and server files. I would suggest that you set up a test installation ideally with the same server configuration as your current site is in and install WP and bbPress, import database, When you’ve got that going, install BuddyPress. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/

There’s some patches available here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2587

You’ll have to play around with the code a bit since it’s been awhile since those patches were created.

Not sure. You might want to bring it up with the authors of the plugin here:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-group-email-subscription/forum/

You might also want to try WP Better Emails about making WP emails HTML-compatible:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-better-emails/

Bonus is it allows you to style the email template. Not sure how that gels with the digests in the Group Email Subscription plugin.

Successful installation of forums for groups would create a bb-config.php file at level where your wp-config.php is located. Double-check that the database information in the bb-config.php file is correct. If not, correct the information and run the forums for groups again. Also check that there are 7 new bbPress tables created in your database, they should be there.

Which forums – the forums for groups or sitewide forums?

Did you enable discussion forums in BuddyPress?https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/

Have you installed forums properly? https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

Are you able to sign-in to the backend of your site? As in, http://www.yoursitename/wp-login.php

If you can get in, you should be able to activate your Buddypress theme. Hope that helps.

This sort of thing doesn’t need to be BuddyPress specific; find a WordPress plugin that does it, and it should work.

BuddyPress works with bbPress – same Lead Developer for both, JohnJamesJacoby. You don’t need to migrate anything. What kind of bbPress installation do you have? The stand-alone bbPress or bbPress 2.0+ the plugin? You should migrate stand-alone bbPress to bbPress the plugin first https://bbpress.org/forums/
