 * Hi there,
 * Thank you for your kind words 🙂 I’m sorry you are not able to use the plugin

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for the opinion.
 * Well, other than tweaking the filter priority, there is not much you can do. 
   You would have to see what priority is applied by your theme. Try to look for‘
   get_avatar’ or “get_avatar” in your theme files and see what priority it is using.
 * Maybe try setting my plugin to -9999, just to be sure.
 * Kind regards,
    Daniel Wroblewski

 * Hi there,
    Just go to my plugin settings and in the field where you can see Avatar
   folder (currently saying `default`) change that to one of the new sets – `roboto`
   or `opensans`

 * Hi there! It has just been released in the latest 2.2.8. Thank you for your input,
   I really appreciate it.
    To activate it, just go to plugin settings and type “
   opensans” or “roboto” as avatar set.
 * New sets are included in both WP First Letter Avatar and BuddyPress First Letter
   Avatar.
 * Cheers!

 * Hi there,
    Well, this plugin is just intended to be used to replace avatars of
   users who do not have any avatar. Specifying custom avatars is way beyond what
   this plugins is/was intended for 😉
 * I am marking this one as resolved, as it is not really an issue, rather a request.

 * Hi there,
 * I appreciate your input!
 * I’d happily introduce it in the plugin, if you send me the whole collection 🙂
   Please take a look at how avatars are grouped here – [https://github.com/Dev49net/wp-first-letter-avatar/tree/master/images/default](https://github.com/Dev49net/wp-first-letter-avatar/tree/master/images/default)
   
   Basically there are 5 folders – 512, 256, 128, 96, 48, each indicating avatar
   size. In every folder there is the same naming convention: number_[number].png
   for numbers latin_[letter].png for latin alphabet arabic_[number].png for arabic/
   persian alphabet cyrillic_[number].png for cyrillic aphabet
 * For arabic and cyrillic alphabet, please find the numbers here:
    [http://sites.psu.edu/symbolcodes/languages/mideast/arabic/arabicchart/](http://sites.psu.edu/symbolcodes/languages/mideast/arabic/arabicchart/)
   [http://sites.psu.edu/symbolcodes/languages/cyrillicchart/](http://sites.psu.edu/symbolcodes/languages/cyrillicchart/)
   The number in Entity column is the number that needs to be in the filename.
 * When the plugin is released, your contribution to this open source project will
   be noted.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi there!
    The best and fastest help would be if you created a pull request for
   my plugin on GitHub + describe the specific use case, so I could test it – [https://github.com/dev49net/buddypress-first-letter-avatar](https://github.com/dev49net/buddypress-first-letter-avatar)
 * If you do not think this is possible, could you please tell me how are you detecting
   whether the user is using default avatar? What plugins are you using for the 
   social login features?

 * Thank you!
    Unfortunately, plugin author is not responsible for translations 
   and cannot approve them. It seems that translations system for WP plugins is 
   really flawed. Guys really should rethink how it works. I’ve supplied translations
   for my own plugin and it has been waiting approval for almost a year 🙂 [https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/pl/default/wp-plugins/wp-first-letter-avatar](https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/pl/default/wp-plugins/wp-first-letter-avatar)
   I can include it in my plugin. Could you please send it to some dropbox/wetransfer?
   I will add it to main repo at GitHub and release it along with new release of
   my plugin some time in the future 🙂
 * Thanks for your contribution! I really appreciate it! Many people want to have
   their tools in native language, so the more translations, the better!

 * Hi there,
    Thanks, but in this case you can actually see the pixels – the quality
   is much lower. But this is totally understandable, given that you have worked
   on the compress image. Can you tell me what algorithm/application you are using
   to compress it? Maybe if I run uncompressed file through it I would be able to
   achieve better results.
 * Cheers,
    Dan

 * Hi there,
    The smallest C letter is only 539 Bytes. It this is not well optimized,
   I do not know what is 🙂 TinyPNG was used to compressed all images. It really
   won’t get any better than this.
 * Sites like GTMetrix or PageSpeed Insights give you a general direction, but they
   cannot be trusted in every aspect. They are there to give you some guidance only.
 * I’m marking this one as resolved, but if you manage to optimize some letters 
   even more please let me know, I’d happily introduce it into the plugin.
 * Cheers,
    Daniel

 * `bpfla_settings` entry in `wp_options` table. All settings of my plugin are stored
   in this one entry. Inside you’ll find `bpfla_use_gravatar` key.
