Hi there,
Well, there is no option to turn it off. I assumed that having group letter avatars is a desired feature. You should be able to change in the code, though. If you go to buddypress-first-letter-avatar.php file and navigate to line 446, you will see this:
} else if ($object == 'group'){ // we're filtering group
If you change this line to this:
} else if ($object == 'group'){ return $html_data;
It should work the way you want.

Please keep in mind that this will be overwritten after you update the plugin.

Kind regards,
Daniel Wroblewski

Fixed in the latest release. Thanks for the report.

Hi,
Thanks for the report. Can you send me this theme to my email? You can send it to me at: info at dev49 dot net

Please also include a screenshot of the problem, so I can track it more easily.

Kind regards,
Daniel Wroblewski

Great, thanks for letting me know ?? If you like the plugin, please leave a rating ??

Kind regards,

Hello,
Maybe you haven’t cleared your browser cache? Please clear the cache or try with another browser. Or maybe you are using a cache plugin? If you have replaced ALL images with your own, the avatar has to be changing.

Another reason may be gravatar. Gravatar.com caches the avatar for some time. It may be necessary to wait a while until they update them. You can disable the gravatar functionality in my plugin – that way avatars will be accessed directly from your server.

Please keep in mind that your custom avatars will be removed after you update my plugin. So you either have to keep a backup outside my plugin’s folder or stop updating the plugin in future.

But honestly, using my plugin for this is a bit of an overkill. If you want random landscape displayed for every user, it would make much more sense to create a new plugin that randomly assigns one of the avatars, rather than base it on user’s name. Unless, of course, user’s name is somehow relevant to the chosen landscape.

Kind regards,
Daniel Wroblewski

Fixed in the latest release. This is the only change in 2.2.6.1 version.

Thanks,
Daniel

Thank you. I haven’t looked into WP 4.5 yet, but as soon as I have some time, I will update it. Many plugins are using get_currentuserinfo(), so you may see a lot of warnings.

Hi,
If changing the filter priority value does not help, then I’m afraid I will not be able to help you ?? Plugin compatibility is a complex issue. For BuddyPress compatibility I had to develop a separate plugin. UserPro probably uses some complicated mechanisms which are not easy to make compatible with my plugin. So if changing the priority value did not help you, I’m afraid you will have to decide whether you want to use UserPro or WP First Letter Avatar.

Cheers,
Daniel

Great, thanks for letting me know!

Hi Toni,
It seems that you are using some other avatar plugin as well. For example, I see that user “Lupita” has an avatar from his Google account. So you must be using some integration with Google accounts, which fetches the avatars as well. Can you give a bit more details on what plugins you are using?

Cheers,
Dan

Hi,
Sorry for the delay.
I just checked again and still no problem with bbPress at all. Viewing other people’s profiles shows correct avatars for them – whether I am logged in or not. Maybe try disabling all plugins except for WP First Letter Avatar and bbPress and switch to WordPress default theme just to make sure.

No, PNG is a default format. I never used the JPG and default format in plugin settings is PNG.
If you wanted to use your own set of avatars, you would want to specify your own format, so this setting is necessary for people who use their own custom avtars.

Cheers,
Dan

I’m sorry, but having bbPress and BuddyPress compatibility at the same time would be very problematic. I haven’t tested it in this configuration, but from what I remember, both plugins heavily integrate into WordPress’ avatar system. I will take a look into it the next time I will be working on the plugin, but I can’t promise to make it work. I just remember that I had really hard time dealing with bbPress and BuddyPress on their own, so making the three plugins compatible together at the same time will be very hard.

Dan

but there is a minor issue, JPG files of letters does not exist, and I must use PNG in settings

How is that a problem? ?? PNG are the only available files, because they are lighter and higher quality than JPG. JPG is meant for photographs – any computer generated graphics look better in PNG and weight much less. Convert the PNG images to JPG to see how much more space the JPG takes up. It is not economical to use JPG.

the font I used is a persian font, it would be better if you change this line

Well, that is part of the changelog and changing changelog after long time after release could cause confusion (and would not make much sense in version control system).

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi,
I’m sorry, but I’m not sure what you mean. What do you mean by “records”?

BuddyPress First Letter Avatar works also in comments. If you have BuddyPress installed, you cannot use WP First Letter Avatar – it will not work properly. If you have BuddyPress activated – go with BuddyPress First Letter Avatar (it will also work on comments). If you do not have BuddyPress – use WP First Letter Avatar.
