BuddyPress First Letter Avatar

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

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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.

   I love the plugin! Looks so much nicer than blank spaces on the website for users who have not uploaded their own avatar or picture! Only problem that I have with it is that I wish I could change the size of the Letters in the settings for the plugin. Would make it look so much more sleek in my chat and elsewhere! Thanks for a sweet little plugin!

   Awesome plugin with clean code and regular updates. Only thing I have issue is the letter “R” and “S”. They are both in similar color (shades of blue). Since many names start with R and S, if they were made of different colors, it would look best. Just my opinions. And thanks for giving this plugin free.
