Hi there,

Thank you for your kind words ?? I’m sorry you are not able to use the plugin in a way you would want to.

Hi there,

Thanks for the opinion.

Well, other than tweaking the filter priority, there is not much you can do. You would have to see what priority is applied by your theme. Try to look for ‘get_avatar’ or “get_avatar” in your theme files and see what priority it is using.

Maybe try setting my plugin to -9999, just to be sure.

Kind regards,
Daniel Wroblewski

Hi there,
Just go to my plugin settings and in the field where you can see Avatar folder (currently saying default) change that to one of the new sets – roboto or opensans

Hi there! It has just been released in the latest 2.2.8. Thank you for your input, I really appreciate it.
To activate it, just go to plugin settings and type “opensans” or “roboto” as avatar set.

New sets are included in both WP First Letter Avatar and BuddyPress First Letter Avatar.

Cheers!

Hi there,
Well, this plugin is just intended to be used to replace avatars of users who do not have any avatar. Specifying custom avatars is way beyond what this plugins is/was intended for ??

I am marking this one as resolved, as it is not really an issue, rather a request.

Kind regards,
Daniel Wroblewski

THANK YOU! I will include them in the next plugin release! Thanks for contributing!

Hi there,

I appreciate your input!

I’d happily introduce it in the plugin, if you send me the whole collection ?? Please take a look at how avatars are grouped here – https://github.com/Dev49net/wp-first-letter-avatar/tree/master/images/default
Basically there are 5 folders – 512, 256, 128, 96, 48, each indicating avatar size. In every folder there is the same naming convention:
number_[number].png for numbers
latin_[letter].png for latin alphabet
arabic_[number].png for arabic/persian alphabet
cyrillic_[number].png for cyrillic aphabet

For arabic and cyrillic alphabet, please find the numbers here:
https://sites.psu.edu/symbolcodes/languages/mideast/arabic/arabicchart/
https://sites.psu.edu/symbolcodes/languages/cyrillicchart/
The number in Entity column is the number that needs to be in the filename.

When the plugin is released, your contribution to this open source project will be noted.

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Daniel Wroblewski

Hi there!
The best and fastest help would be if you created a pull request for my plugin on GitHub + describe the specific use case, so I could test it – https://github.com/dev49net/buddypress-first-letter-avatar

If you do not think this is possible, could you please tell me how are you detecting whether the user is using default avatar? What plugins are you using for the social login features?

DW

Thank you! I received the email, I will take care of this early this week.
Thanks for your work, I really appreciate it.

Thank you!
Unfortunately, plugin author is not responsible for translations and cannot approve them. It seems that translations system for WP plugins is really flawed. Guys really should rethink how it works. I’ve supplied translations for my own plugin and it has been waiting approval for almost a year ?? https://translate.www.ads-software.com/locale/pl/default/wp-plugins/wp-first-letter-avatar
I can include it in my plugin. Could you please send it to some dropbox/wetransfer? I will add it to main repo at GitHub and release it along with new release of my plugin some time in the future ??

Thanks for your contribution! I really appreciate it! Many people want to have their tools in native language, so the more translations, the better!

Hi there,
Thanks, but in this case you can actually see the pixels – the quality is much lower. But this is totally understandable, given that you have worked on the compress image. Can you tell me what algorithm/application you are using to compress it? Maybe if I run uncompressed file through it I would be able to achieve better results.

Cheers,
Dan

Hi there,
The smallest C letter is only 539 Bytes. It this is not well optimized, I do not know what is ?? TinyPNG was used to compressed all images. It really won’t get any better than this.

Sites like GTMetrix or PageSpeed Insights give you a general direction, but they cannot be trusted in every aspect. They are there to give you some guidance only.

I’m marking this one as resolved, but if you manage to optimize some letters even more please let me know, I’d happily introduce it into the plugin.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi there,
Are you using any additional plugin for Facebook integration? I would like to recreate this issue in my local environment.

Kind regards,
DW

Just A-Z ??

bpfla_settings entry in wp_options table. All settings of my plugin are stored in this one entry. Inside you’ll find bpfla_use_gravatar key.
