BP Local Avatars

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank

wp.org popularity rank over time · lower is better

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Hi, After generating local save for all gravatars, the main gravatar has gone. Only smaller gravatars are still there but the main and biggest photo (150 x 150px) has changed to the grey buddypress person. Users who did not used gravater had no issue. What a pitty!

   Like all products from Shane and the Philopress team, the plugin works great, and thanks to their friendly support they are a pleasure to work with. 5/5. I rely on several of Philopress’ products to run my Buddypress-powered community site.

   Tried a lot local avatar for buddypress, this is the only one works for me. Really good plugin and solved my problem. Since Gravatar is blocked from my country, My site can’t running avatar without this plugin.Huge thanks again. The only thing I wish you can improve is the avatar on post comment for people who are not logged in. Currently it is not working. Is it possible to make this working?

   If you use the Gravatar service, this plugin will help speed up your website by storing the Gravatar-generated images locally. No need to make external calls.
