It’s definitely possible to do this, but it’s not done by default with the community addon.
I recommend looking over this post I wrote up late last year about how to fetch user achievements. http://trexthepirate.com/badgeos/2014/12/show-off-users-achievements-part-one/
It’s not going to perfectly match up with your specific usecase, as you’re dealing with forum thread reply authors, but it will hopefully give a good early primer.
Finally, you’re going to need to check bbPress’ hooks to find one that is executed in or around the intended spot for the output. For that, I don’t have an answer as I’d need to dive into the source code myself to find one that’d work.
@ngrhd Did you manage to find a solution? Myself I’m not rly sure how to do this. What I’ve tried always gave me a 500 error since I don’t rly understand php.
Would it be possible to execute this shortcode below the reply/topic author in bbPress?

Alright, this is what I got so far, using Michael Beckwith’s code in the previous post. Only thing I removed were these lines:
$output .= '<span class="badgeos-title-wrap">' . get_the_title( $achievement_id ) . '</span>';
Just because I preferred not to have the title shown under the forum avatar as well.
If you then add the following code to your child theme’s functions.php, it should work:
add_action ( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'insert_badges_after_author' );
function insert_badges_after_author() {
echo do_shortcode('[custom_badgeos_user_achievements]');
}
Michael Beckwith also provided 3 parameters which are very useful for determining what to show under the forum avatar. They can be found in one of the posts here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/displaying-earned-badges-in-buddypress-profileshortcode?replies=7
In short they are: user-id, type and limit.
Hope this can help for people who are amateuristic as me 🙂
“Amateuristic” aka future pro 😉
Glad to see you got something worked out here and to your liking.
Seems I totally forgot to thank you Michael! So thanks 😛
One last update (even though I should probably not dig up older/resolved threads, sorry).
If you’re adding badges under the avatar I’m assuming you’re scaling them down in size, like 30×30 or smaller so they don’t take up all space there or aren’t too distracting.
Change the following in Michael Beckwith’s code if you want to have a link on the badges, so that when people can’t make them out because they’re small, they’ll be brought right to the badge info:
// Output our achievement image and title
$output .= '<div class="badgeos-badge-wrap">';
$output .= '<a href="' . get_permalink( $achievement_id ) . '">';
$output .= badgeos_get_achievement_post_thumbnail( $achievement_id );
$output .= '</a>';
$output .= '</div>';
If you’re using badgeOs in tandem with MyCred Ranks you’ll probably want to lower the priority on the code that inserts the badges, so that they appear under the rank. Like this:
add_action ( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'insert_badges_after_author', 20, 3);
function insert_badges_after_author() {
echo do_shortcode('[custom_badgeos_user_achievements]');
}
Thanks Michael, BadgeOs does exactly what I want with functionality alternatives don’t have!
Even I didn’t notice, but I figured it was implied anyway
It’s all good. 😀
