Hi,
In my installed discourse instance I want to
change default avatar with some other kind of avatar, can you tell me how can I
do that? I tried looking for setting in Admin section but could not find any
setting to change default letter based avatars to some image based avatars?

It is a per user setting:
- gravatar
- custom avatar
- default local letters
We do have a long standing request to make those user settings a global default for all users that the site admin can set, but we haven’t gotten to it yet.

My users have set their avatars with gravatar, but they still have the default letter in Discourse (using the same email addresses). Why would this be?

Just figured it out. Under “Settings” → “Login” uncheck “sso overrides avatar”. I’m using Wordpress for SSO:

Now my users can edit their avatar/profile picture on their preferences page.

Is this already implemented? I’d be really interested but I have not seen anything about it on meta.

@naggar & @dani14_96, you might find this new feature interesting 😉

> Avatars are a big part of anyone’s online identity. Discourse already supports 3 options when it comes to avatars: based on the first letter of your username, your Gravatar or any images you want to upload. [image] But what if you want to provide your users with a limited set of avatars to choose from? It’s now possible thanks to the “selectable avatars” feature! As an admin, if you click Edit next to the selectable avatars site setting, a modal will pop up and ask you to start uploading avat…
