Overview

One of the "hidden" functionalities which really is a gem and life saver for every admin that wants their sites to rise above other is the ability to easily change the default avatars and maintain that change with ease. A common belief is to replace avatars in their original location, and while this would obviously work because its just an image that is being replaced, it is not a good practice to do that as your custom avatars will be overridden with every upgrade of JomSocial

-As an Unlimited Developer Access(UDA) member, you will be able to download extra sets of default avatars for your site.
-How to replace a default avatar:
-# Download avatar sets from the download page.
-# Unzip the file. Each folder contains one set of avatars.
-# Select all image files in one of the folder.
-# Upload the image files to images folder of your jomsocial template
-# This will replace the existing images with the new ones.
-{{alert|<strong>Note:</strong> You can only use one set of avatars at a time since the new files will replace the old ones. You may mix and match (or build one of your own). Just make sure that the file names are the same.|alert-info}}
