Hi,
If you are using BuddyPress, you need to use BuddyPress First Letter Avatar. BuddyPress itself overrides default WordPress avatar system, therefore WP First Letter Avatar will not work properly on a site with BuddyPress installed (no matter how extensively you use BuddyPress).
Why don’t you go with BuddyPress First Letter Avatar?

Well, that’s unusual 🙂 Great to know, thanks!

I am sorry to hear that. If you get blank page, then I’m pretty sure there is some other error – what does your error log say? PHP error logs are usually on your FTP. If not, you should be able to find that somewhere in your hosting dashboard.

Hi,
I’m sorry, but I don’t think I fully understand. If you have deactivated my plugin, there is no possibility that my plugin still displays the letter avatars. When plugin is deactivated, it just does not work in any way, so it is not possible that you see avatars generated by my plugin. The only thing that comes to my mind is that you are using cache plugin such as W3TC or WP Super Cache – if that’s the case, you need to clear its cache (not your browser cache).

Cheers,
Dan

Hello,
My plugin does not change the way avatars are displayed – it only swaps the content of the avatar, not the way it is displayed.
What exactly do you mean by clubs? Do you mean groups? Are you using any additional BuddyPress extensions?

Cheers,

Hi there,

You will find your answer here – https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/fatal-error-call-to-undefined-function-mb_strtolower?replies=1

Basically you can just write to your hosting provider to enable “mbstring” extension. I’m sure they will do that immediately.

I am sorry for that, I was sure mbstring was a default extension, turns out it isn’t. Almost everyone has it enabled, though, which is a good thing, as this is a great PHP extension.

Kind regards,

Hi there,
I am sorry about that, it’s a mistake on my side. Please go to the main plugin file (wp-first-letter-avatar.php) and navigate to line 386. There is a line:
$file_name = $this->image_unknown;
You need to add additional line after this line, so that it looks like this:

$file_name = $this->image_unknown;
$file_name_mb = $this->image_unknown;

I am sorry for this, I will fix it in the next release (shortly).
Please let me know if it helps.

Kind regards,
Daniel Wroblewski

Arabic alphabet has been available for quite a while not – I’m not sure how many users actually use it, but I haven’t received any complaints, so I guess I can mark this one as resolved.

Cheers,
