Hi @faridatibis
The issue with the backgrounds is now fix. You should be able to see the background color of your avatar match the values set in settings page.
Please consider giving us a review. It will help us a lot to spread the word and make the plugin more popular.

Hi @faridatibis

Thanks for your feedback.
The problem is because the plugin, in case of random backgrounds, stores the value in user meta table and once there it takes that value always.
Obviously is not good, i will release a new version ASAP to fix this bug.

Hi @realact

Sorry for taking so long to replay, it has been a busy month for me.
Well, I did a code coverage in an installation i made with Leira Letter Avatar, WPDiscuz and WPForo and i couldnt find any bottleneck in leira avatar plugin. What I did notice is that WPForo does actually consume more resource than WPDiscuz and Leira Avatar together. I also did some stress test and all looks good. Kind of hard to replicate your exact environment, so who knows.
Is there a way you can check your server logs, or those logs with the one you determined the error in leira avatar, so it can point me to the right direction.
Im kind of lost at this point, I dont know what could be happening ??

Hi @realact

Well I think the problem is going to be related with those plugins you mentioned.
I will check both of it and how they implement the avatar display process.
I will try to find a solution as soon as possible.

Hi @realact
Sorry to hear that. I never had the opportunity to test the plugin in a site which such amount of users. In theory shouldn’t be a problem but who knows.
I will try to find a solution, but, i will need your help understand what is going on:
Did you update the plugin recently?
Did the system started crashing after the update or it start failing suddenly?
What other plugins you have in your wp installation that might use user avatars?

@medtr thanks for your tip. I will include it in the next plugin release.

Hi @furuba
Glad to hear you like the plugin
Thanks for your review

Hi @dconsorte
YITH Woocommerce Advanced Reviews plugin is now supported by Leira Letter Avatar.
Keep in mind that Leira Letter Avatar does not expose any email address in alt avatar img tag (or any other place), thats a problem with YITH Woocommerce Advanced Reviews problem as commented in this thread.

Glad to help @medtr
Could you be so kind and give us a review. It will help us a lot to spread the word and make the plugin more popular.

Hi @dconsorte

I made a deep check on the problem you describe.
Dont comment line 1451 of class.yith-woocommerce-advanced-reviews.php, intead search line 40 in file yith-woocommerce-advanced-reviews/templates/ywar-review.php You will see a line like this
echo get_avatar( $author["review_author_email"], apply_filters( 'woocommerce_review_gravatar_size', '60' ), '', $author["review_author_email"] );
the last parameter is the alt to show in the image. Just change that line by this one (to show an empty alt):
echo get_avatar( $author["review_author_email"], apply_filters( 'woocommerce_review_gravatar_size', '60' ), '', '' );

But the best approach here is to ask yith developers to add a filter in the function so you dont modify the plugin source code, as it will be overwritten if you update the plugin. You can suggest plugin developer a change like this:
echo get_avatar( $author["review_author_email"], apply_filters( 'woocommerce_review_gravatar_size', '60' ), '', apply_filters('yith_review_avatar_alt', $author["review_author_email"]) );

In the other hand i noticed that if an anonymous user makes a review the avatar won’t have any letter in the image, this due to an incompatibility between leira letter avatar and yith woo advanced reviews.

I will try to fix this compatibility issue in the next plugin release

Hi @medtr

I will try to add this functionality in the next plugin release.

Hi @teeboy4real
Do you mean leira letter avatar github version or buddypress profile compeltion?
In any case our integration was deployed to wp repository since 1.2.1 version

Hi @mowpress
I will check it as soon as posible, If this theme provides the right hook i could do some tricks to make it work

Hi @teeboy4real
The buddypress core function “bp_get_user_has_avatar” is the function you are looking for. If this function returns false and you have Leira Letter Avatar plugin active them it means user is using a letter avatar.
This method is used by BuddyPress Profile Completion core functionality and i added support for it in release 1.2.1.
In the other hand, I was checking everything during the weekend to determine what could be happening with your site. What i think is happening is as follows: Buddypress Profile Completion saves a metatag once a user profile is complete, at the moment you installed Leira Letter Avatar, there was no compatibility between both plugins, so Profile Completion was taking the letter avatar as a user uploaded avatar, therefore, user metatag was set as well. A solution it could work is basically delete manually this metatag for all users, running a simple SQL script (dont worry Profile Completion will re add this metatag automatically) and the other option is to create a simple function to bypass this metatag to tell Profile completion if user really have or not uploaded an avatar, i could help you with it.
I hope it helps, let me know if you have any updates.

Hi @mowpress
Thanks for your review. Im glad to hear my plugin is helpful to you.
About compatibility issues you mentioned, could you open new issue in the plugin Support Forum with more details about the issue you mentioned(incompatible themes, anything that can point me to the right direction) so i can check it and fix it.
