Randomly assigning an avatar as profile photo

AI-generated summary

A discussion on randomly assigning avatars as profile photos began with peterakkies asking if a plugin exists for graphic, cartoon-like avatars. R_X suggested uploading photos to a random set in the settings. peterakkies found this helpful, but codinghorror and P2W requested a how-to topic on the subject. rishabh provided a link to a detailed topic on selectable avatars and offered to edit and move it to the howto category.

Hey folks,

Is there a plugin that has a collection of avatars—graphic, cartoon-like ones—and that can randomly assign one to each user who has not yet uploaded a profile photo?

I find the avatars with just the first letter of the user’s first name pretty boring.

You can upload photos to be random set. Check settings

Cool! I didn’t know that. Thank you.

Do we have a howto topic on this @rishabh? Maybe we should have one? :thinking:

Please do! I’d love to tinker with

We already have a detailed #feature:announcements topic for it, thanks to @zogstrip - should I edit it slightly and move it over to howto?

@P2W, have a look at this post to set up a randomly-assigned, default avatar set.
