Hi,
Yes, they are needed to make sure the appropriate image is downloaded (there is no need to download 512px avatar, when, for example, just 48px is needed). So you have to place the files in all folders to make sure it works correctly. If you don’t want to have different sizes, you can just place the same file in every directory, but if the file is too big that would be just unnecessary use of your server resources.

Please keep in mind that plugin update will remove your avatars, so always keep a backup copy. This plugin was not written to be extendable, it’s more of a plug and play solution to add colorful avatars to your site and forget about it. I am considering creating advanced avatar plugin that would be highly customizable by the user, but currently I don’t have enough time to start working on it.

Cheers,
Daniel

Thank you. I think my Windows has trouble with reading these filenames. I believe this is not how they are supposed to be named – https://snag.gy/Tcmwu.jpg ?

Regarding your problem with my plugin showing strange shapes – can you give me a link to your website or a screenshot of these weird shapes? My plugin uses only png images, so the only thing it can display are the A-Z letters, it does not generate any shapes.

Great, I think I know what the problem is. Please write to me at info at dev49 dot net. I will send you a modified version to check. It seems that Russian translation uses slighlty different alt attributes for avatars. Normally it is “Profile picture of [username]”. In Russian it is “Рисунок профиля ([username])”. The brackets make it not possible for my plugin to work. I need to take that into account in the next release.

Can you send me a link to your website?

@collex: amazing, thank you ?? I will take a look and try to incorporate that into my plugins.

Plugin files are also saved in UTF8, everything now uses UTF8. Usually my plugin takes the user name from the “alt” attribute of the user avatar image. What is your alt attribute for the avatars? In English WP it is “Picture of [username]” or “Profile picture of [username]”

All avatars are using the png images for each letter. Currently only A-Z are supported. Other letters should be showing mystery person png. Unfortunately, I do not know cyrillic alphabet, so I am not able to add this. However, if you look into my plugin folder, in the images folder you will find a PSD template for the avatar. If you have Adobe Photoshop, you can edit this to prepare one avatar for each cyrillic letter. Then you can send them to me and I will include it in this plugin and my other avatar plugin (WP First Letter Avatar). I am not able to do this on my own.

Do you have any other BuddyPress plugins?
Is there any particular reason why have you changed the filter priority? It should stay at 10 if you do not have any other avatar plugins.

Please set the filter priority to 10. If it doesn’t help, please start deactivating other plugins. At some point the avatars will start to work. Then we will know which plugin causes the incompatibility, so I will be able to see how to fix this.

Kind regards,

Hi there,
Thanks for your opinion. I do not plan to integrate such feature in my plugins. There are various sources I take the letter from and I don’t think it would be reliable, also most users use just one name.

You may try to experiment with this, but any changes will be overwritten when plugin is updated. You may want to find a position of space ” ” in the string. You can do that using strpos() function. It will return you the index of first space bar occurence. Then all you have to do is to add that value to the letter index you have specified in my plugin settings and also add 1. This should give you 1st/2nd/3rd… letter when counting from the first spacebar occurence.

If the strpos() function return false (you need to check it by using === false), it means there is no spacebar.

I’m still learning php

Every programmer is always learning ??

Hello,
Symbols from outside the regular alphabet (A-Z) should just display a mystery man, there should be no strange shapes, since all the letters are stored as images, they are not automatically generated. Can you post a link to your website, so I could see it?

Kind regards,
Daniel Wroblewski

Well, technically you are getting the whole platform for free (WordPress + WooCommerce*) and people are giving you advices for free as well. So complaining on the fact that you actually have to pay some money for running your ecommerce business properly is a bit harsh…

*Actually, you are getting much more for free, because you are getting Linux, which runs Apache, which runs PHP, which runs WordPress, which runs WooCommerce, which run all your free plugins.

Other plugins may also be using WooCommerce GeoIP. Try disabling all other plugins – this is the first thing I would do.

EDIT: Hosting also may cause this. WPEngine are not allowing GeoIP module to work. Instead they want users to pay for their own geolocation module.

I’m afraid you will need a webmaster to do this, since debugging these sorts of stuff is not easy and, as said, it can be risky if you don’t know how to do this stuff. Sending emails in WooCommerce works and if doesn’t work for you then problem must be somewhere in your environment. You should find a freelance WooCommerce expert who you can ask to solve this kind of problems from time to time.

I don’t know if my client doesn’t receive email. The only thing I am sure of is that I don’t get the order notification.

Then you should check if your client doesn’t receive email. You can place order yourself and see if the order email is sent. You can use sandbox PayPal account if you don’t want to pay yourself money.

Check your PHP error log. Make sure your PHP is logging errors (not displaying them!).

Disable all plugins (except WooCommerce) and then place an order.

See if your theme is applying any WooCommerce email templates overrides.
