Thank you, it works 🙂

Thank you very much for this work. It really works. I would only add the option to choose that the avatars are not reset every time the page is refreshed. Instead, once a guest comments and is assigned a comment, that avatar is fixed for that comment. Thank you again, Alejandro from Educaenvivo :’)

Really Good, Works as advertised

The other custom WP avatar plugins I tried all introduced issues around styling, but this one worked fine out of the box and didn’t introduce any new issues.

Works Great

Just what I wanted, don’t know why more poeple aren’t using this quality plugin! However, instructions were hard to find! To author: please add your instructions (below text) here on the plugin page installation notes section, so users don’t need to search for them in the plugin folder! ================= 1. Configure the plugin by going to Appearance > Customize menu that appears in your admin menu. 2. Upload the Custom Avatar image in the WP Custom Avatar section. 3. Navigate to Settings > Discussion menu. Scroll down to the Avatars section and choose the image that you uploaded as the Default Avatar. ===================
