<p>BP Local Avatars is a BuddyPress plugin.</p>
<p>Do you have members or groups on your BuddyPress site who do not have an Avatar?<br />
And you do not want to show the generic default avatar?<br />
Or maybe you do not want each page view to include a lot of calls to gravatar.com to load avatars?</p>
<ul>
<li>This plugin will create a Gravatar Identicon avatar, thumb and full versions, for any user who does not already have an Avatar, and save it locally.</li>
<li>Supports user creation, user registration, user login, and Bulk Generation for user and groups.</li>
<li>Uses the existing BuddyPress avatar directory structure.</li>
<li>Conforms to the defined sizes for BuddyPress thumb and full avatars.</li>
<li>Users can still upload an avatar via their profile.</li>
<li>Groups can still upload an avatar via Group > Manage > Photo.</li>
</ul>
<p>Usage:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Provides an option in wp-admin under:<br />
Settings -> Discussion > Default Avatar > BuddyPress Identicon (Generated and Stored Locally).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Select and Save. Otherwise this plugin will not do anything.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>After saving, you will see a link to ‘Bulk Generate’ avatars for all users and groups who do not have a local avatar. If a user already has their own Gravatar, it will save it locally.</p>
</li>
</ol>
