Issue closed after some great support from Shane! 5/5, would install again! ??

Hi Shane and thank you kindly for your prompt response.

To answer your questions:
1: No, I have not injected any functions filtering the avatars.
2: To my knowledge, none of the other plugins should interfere with the avatar functions, and I have not touched the mystery avatar. Note though that the image url generated points to i2.wp.com/identicon_local, not a local path that throws a 404, so (I suspect) there is something more afoot here than just a missing local avatar file.

If you are interested in investigating, I would be happy to assist, e.g. by giving access to a live site where the issue can be reproduced, or by making configuration changes / researching it further.

Oh, and I am running on PHP 7, WP 4.7.

Cheers.

Solving my own problem here, but leaving the thread as it might help someone else.

The plugin requires Extended Profiles to be enabled in BuddyPress. Once activated, the plugin works fine.

Another case of user error.

Closing thread.

The Highest of Fives is hereby awarded to Mr Jolley. Thanks mate.
