These plugins were tested and a solution was found above. Resolving.
Thank you so much for all the work. I just removed the ? beweteen the backticks in the plugin and it works on all front end pages now. Dashboard still shows broken image urls though
http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c1a0da7178a718bfefa231f4bc0ec27c?s=32&d=local_default&r=G&forcedefault=1
This is the url of the broken image and it is not supposed to be anything from gravatar. Your plugin interferes with the code somehow. Checked again, when I deactivate BPS (with or without htaccess files removed before) the avatar immediately reappears.
Just to return the favor, do you have a German language translation already? I could make one for you.

Ok I’ll check it out and see if this is another coding mistake in that plugin or if this is something legitimate that is being blocked. Thanks.
If you use the Google Chrome Browser you can right mouse click in plugin pages and then click on Translate to… To translate plugin text into your Language.
If you still feel like doing a German translation be my guest, but there is a lot of help information in BPS so the translations are very time consuming so do not feel that you need to do this. 😉
I didn´t say I was gonna do it in 24hrs, did I? 🙂
I´ll have a look at the files by the weekend. Can´t be so much 🙂

Uh its quite alot of help text. 😉 I believe in putting all help information at someone’s fingertips right where they can find it instead of having them go to another website to find the answer.
Personal Note: About 80% of folks click on the Read Me help buttons when they have questions and typically 95% of them find the answer they were looking for. Some issues/problems are specific/isolated to a particular website for any one of various reasons so general help would not do the trick anyway.
Thanks for the offer, but once you see how much time will be involved I will not think less of you for retracting the offer. 😉

Yep, just as I thought. With BPS .htaccess files deactivated the gravatar link in the backend still displays the link to the gravatar site. The issue is not being caused by BPS and in this case what needs to happen based on this plugins code is…
The plugin is assuming this condition in a couple of places:
$default = apply_filters( 'local_default_avatar', get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/default_avatar.png' );
If this condition is not true then nothing will work correctly because it does not allow for any variance and is not doing anything dynamic and instead is doing a static assumption based on whether you have created this folder and this image – /images/ default_avatar and also modified your theme files to match this condition.
Possible ways to work with this would be to do what the plugin code is assuming and create this condition or maybe just do something different, but similar based on this link below.

This plugin requires additional coding that I do not have the spare time to fiddle with or create that additional code.
