 * I’d like to use this plugin for empty avatars, but it seems that it’s over ruling
   all avatars, so those with a personal photo are changed with their first letter.
   
   How can this be fixed?

 * By default WordPress does not allow users to add their own avatars. It only uses
   Gravatar. What plugin are you using to add the avatar functionality? Is it BuddyPress?
   A list or a screenshot of your active plugins would be helpful. Also, please 
   tell me what theme are you using.

 * Thank you for your answer.
    I’m using Avatar Manager. For the forum I’m using
   Mingle Forum (old plugin). The theme is outdated, but works well. I didn’t build
   the site myself, just a new webmaster. I have several plugins for members.

 * Have you tried adjusting filter priority? Please go to my plugin settings and
   try changing the Filter priority value from 10 to 9.

 * I just tested it with Avatar Manager and changing my plugin’s Filter Priority
   from 10 to 9 solves the issue. Please let me know if it worked for you.

 * Thank you, that did the trick!
    I’ll delete my previous review and I’m sorry 
   for ‘you know what’.

 * I’m glad that helped. The reason why it helped is because both avatar plugins
   you are using are filtering the same WordPress hook with the same priority (level
   10). My plugin allows altering the execution priority. Setting it to lower value(
   9) will cause my plugin filter to execute before the other plugin with filter
   value 10. Before changing it to 9 both plugins were set to 10 and it just happened
   that my plugin was being executed after your Avatar Manager plugin. Now after
   lowering the filter priority, Avatar Manager gets executed after my plugin, so
   its avatars are not overriden.
 * If you ever experience any compatiblity issues with other avatar plugins, try
   tweaking this filter priority value. It allows you to control the execution order
   of WordPress filters.
 * Cheers,
    Daniel
