This plugin replaces the regular post author meta box on the edit post screen with a custom box. The new author box will allow you to select your post author by clicking on the user’s avatar.

Select your post author in style. Choose post authors by avatar instead of a select drop-down.

JennyStudio Identicons Is a lightweight plug-in that generates Material Design-style avatars based on user names. It automatically replaces WordPress’s default “mystery man” avatars, BuddyPress user avatars, and bbPress forum avatars without relying on Gravatar.
Main functions: 
– Material Design Styles – Generates beautiful, consistent vector avatars. 
– Color configurable – Avatar colors are configurable. 
– Seamless integration – Compatible with WordPress Core, BuddyPress and bbPress. 
– Disable Gravatar – Avoid privacy issues and improve loading speed, especially for users in the mainland of China to avoid page jams caused by Gravatar loading. 
– Base64 inline image – Without additional HTTP requests, avatars are directly embedded in HTML.
