BuddyPress First Letter Avatar sets custom avatars for users without profile picture or Gravatar. The avatar will be a first letter of user’s name. You can also configure plugin to use any other letter to set custom avatar.
BuddyPress First Letter Avatar is based on my other plugin – <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-first-letter-avatar/" rel="ugc">WP First Letter Avatar</a>. BuddyPress First Letter Avatar is basically the same thing, but programmed to work with BuddyPress.
BuddyPress First Letter Avatar includes a set of beautiful, colorful letter avatars in many sizes. Optimal size will be chosen by the plugin in order to display high quality avatar and not download, for example, big 512px avatars when only 48px is needed… PSD template for avatar is also included.
You can also create your own avatar set by creating new directory next to ‘default’ folder and following the naming convention from ‘default’.
By default, custom avatar will be set only to users without profile pictures and Gravatars, but you can change that in settings and not use Gravatar/profile pictures at all.
BuddyPress First Letter Avatar helps you bring more colors into your BuddyPress site. Plus, your users will be more willing to actively participate in your site since they can actually relate to these avatars much better than to the Mystery Person.
All images were compressed using the fantastic <a href="https://tinypng.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">TinyPNG</a>, so avatars are incredibly light and ultra-high quality.
Plugin is also available <a href="https://github.com/Dev49net/buddypress-first-letter-avatar" rel="nofollow ugc">on GitHub</a>.
<h4>Requirements</h4>
BuddyPress First Letter Avatar requires at least PHP 5.4. It does not work properly on PHP 5.3.x and earlier.

Real Simple Avatar lets your users upload a custom profile photo or pick from a set of preset avatars. If no avatar is set, a colourful initials avatar is generated automatically — keeping your site looking polished without any extra effort from your users.
Features
<ul>
<li>Shortcode <code>[rsava_avatar_form]</code> — place on any page or post so logged-in users can manage their avatar without going to the admin panel.</li>
<li>AJAX upload — avatar updates happen instantly, without a page reload.</li>
<li>Custom photo upload — users can upload their own image; it is cropped to a configurable square size (default 240 × 240 px). Only one file is stored in the Media Library per user (old file is deleted automatically on replacement or deletion).</li>
<li>Initials fallback — if no avatar is set, a colourful SVG avatar made from the user’s initials is shown everywhere WordPress displays an avatar.</li>
<li>Preset avatars — choose from built-in preset images or replace them entirely with your own set via the plugin settings.</li>
<li>Fine-grained settings:
<ul>
<li>Enable / disable custom photo upload in the shortcode.</li>
<li>Enable / disable the preset avatar grid in the shortcode.</li>
<li>Configure which image formats are accepted (PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, HEIC, HEIF, AVIF, GIF).</li>
<li>Set the maximum upload file size (MB).</li>
<li>Set the crop size in pixels (e.g. 240 for 240 × 240 px). Uploaded images are stored only at this size — no extra WordPress sub-sizes are generated.</li>
<li>Customise the background colours and text colour used for initials avatars.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Admin profile page — admins can upload or remove a user’s avatar directly from the Edit User screen.</li>
<li>Clean uninstall — optionally delete all plugin settings and uploaded avatar media files when the plugin is deleted.</li>
<li>Partial Russian translation included.</li>
</ul>
