Description

Currently only Gravatars are supported. If a Gravatar for a user doesn't exist, the plugin reverts to the default image, rather than searching for a local avatar.

Research direction

Start by tracing where the plugin chooses a Gravatar or default image, then read WordPress core's get_avatar behavior. Update the avatar lookup so a local avatar is considered when no Gravatar exists, and verify that users without Gravatars display the local avatar instead of the default image.
