Rolling back to 6.4.4 puts everything back to normal

Quick update, everything is fine now, number of avatars is contained. Thanks for your support.

Hi Ariel,

Ok for the calculation of the number of avatars involved depending on the theme file sizes.

I activated the new version with 30 colors to choose from, it should remain acceptable in terms of number of avatars generated.

Previous folder still has hundreds of thousands of them to delete, SSH turning night and day to get them out. As per now, I reclaimed 300 GB (not a typo) back on our server, which means millions of avatars were created over time.

I will follow up with the size of the new folder as soon as a significant amount of avatars have been created. As per now I can see each letter is now assigned a fixed color chosen from the pool I use. This is correct and I feel like it was not the case before.

Also, now each user really use the same avatar, I figured out that with previous setup, same user (same username, IP, email) had different avatars.

Hi Ariel, thanks for your answer,

I Use svg format, square avatar, Bold and Uppercase letters, white color for letters, and automatic background color for each user.

Using a fixed background color could indeed minimize the amount of created avatars, but it will be less visually attractive for users when a thread is full of comments.

Still, this discrepancy between the number of avatar files and users who at least once posted a comment is concerning. If it would match both numbers, this would not be an issue at all.

It also looks like that each time you activate disactivate the plugin or change something in settings, everything is recreated from scratch with new file numbers. Normal behavior indeed, but there should be a way to also delete old avatars because settings changed.

I got somewhere by creating a specific setting for my front end form and disabling WPES on global. It works.

for example, but it’s the same behavior on all posts, like there is one more missing picture in the gallery. Cannot figure out why.
