Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Hikari Unicornified Gravatars converts avatars from people that don’t have a Gravatar, into customized unicorns.

Commenters that have their email registered in Gravatar service are kept with their original Gravatars. But people not registered in Gravatar, instead of having a default avatar that always look the same, are provided with a variety of unicorns avatars, that are related and specific to their email.

And those anonymous commenters that don’t provide any email, they receive randomized unicorns avatars, which change on every page load!!

That’s possible thanks to StackOverflow, which developed a Gravatar-compatible algorithm that generates unicorns avatars in place of standard Gravatar ones.

I dedicate Hikari Unicornified Gravatars to Ju, my beloved frient ^-^

Features

  • Works instantly on any place where WordPress get_avatar() function is used
  • Uses Unicornify service to grab unicornified avatars, the same way Gravatar works
  • Emails registered in Gravatar service are not changed, and their Gravatar is preserved
  • Emails not registered in Gravatar, instead of showing a default avatar, show a unicorn related to their specific email
  • When email is not provided (generally in anonymous comments), random unicorns are used, which change on every page reload
  • Of course, emails are preserved inside WordPress and never sent outside of it, privacy FTW 😉
