AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Avalicious! is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Social category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by Alis — established developer track record

How Avalicious! works
Avalicious! is a WordPress plugin that integrates LiveJournal, Dreamwidth, and Tumblr user avatars in WordPress comments. It is a functional re-write of Also LJ Avatar (itself a re-write of some even older plugins), with the following differences:
user avatars are downloaded via the cURL library, hopefully avoiding issues with hosts that disable remote URL includes
the regexps for extracting avatars have been improved
the user’s journal URL is extracted from a comment’s URL (not the name)
the user’s name is not re-written.
Version 1.3.3
Minor fixes. Should not have better compatibility with Dreamwidth icons.
Version 1.3.2
Should now work with both HTTP and HTTPS Tumblrs. Magic!
Version 1.3.1
Small regexp fixes.
Version 1.3
Added support for Tumblr icons.
Old icons are now cleaned up automatically every month.
Small bugfixes.
Credits Avalicious! is based off the original Also LJ Avatar by Ravenwood and Irwin. No disrespect is intended towards the original authors; without their great work, this plugin wouldn’t have been possible (or at least would’ve taken a hell of a lot longer to write).
