Will this plugin solve my problem?

Is that a theme hosted on WP.org?

It’s about this one theme

Well, then the answer is “I don’t know, but probably not”. Since this really about a commercial theme, you would have to ask their support staff? Only they know what their custom avatar system does.

But I’ll look into integrating with wpForo for one of the next releases.

Oh sure

Ok is there no way I can tell your plugin to use their avatar database and display them throughout the wordpress system?

I don’t know because I don’t have access to their code ??

<?php	
global $post, $DIRECTORYPRESS_ADIMN_SETTINGS, $wp_query;
$author = get_user_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'author_name' ) );
$authorID = $author->ID;
$avatar_id = get_user_meta( $authorID, 'avatar_id', true );
	$author_avatar_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $avatar_id, 'full' ); 
	$image_src_array = (!empty($avatar_id) && is_numeric($avatar_id))? $author_avatar_url[0]:'';PhpCode:


	echo '<div class="author-thumbnail">';
								if(!empty($image_src_array)) {
									$params = array( 'width' => 270, 'height' => 270, 'crop' => true );
										echo  '<img src="'. bfi_thumb( $image_src_array, $params ).'" alt="'.$author_name.'" />';
									} else { 
										$avatar_url = get_avatar_url($authorID, ['size' => '270']);
										echo '<img src="'.$avatar_url.'" alt="author" />';
									}
							echo '</div>';
?>

If this will be of any help

I can pay to have it done.

Thanks, I see how they store avatar information. However, without legal access to the whole theme, I could not write and test a proper integration for Avatar Privacy. Since wpForo (optionally) also provides its own avatar handling, integrating both at the same time will be a bit tricky.

From a quick look, I think it is possible (with or without Avatar Privacy). Unfortunately I don’t do WP work for hire, so I cannot help you regarding this website customization (but you can direct whoever you hire here for any questions regarding integration with Avatar Privacy if you wish to pursue that route).
