Avatars

Is there an option for users to import their own picture/avatar for their profiles?

Hello @shai

Avatars are a built-in core-functionality of WordPress. If you want to let your users upload custom avatars, I suggest you to install the following plugin which adds an upload-functionality to user-profiles:

WP User Avatars

Hi @Asgaros

I have this plugin downloaded, and it still doesn’t allow users to edit their avatars, it just takes them to the “my-account” screen.

Can you advise?

Thanks.

It adds new fields to the user-edit-screen of the users profile:

Hello Thomas, you advised the plugin of John James Jacoby. That plugin is not tested with recent updates. However, a lot of other plugins that offer the same functionality do. Is there a reason to adjust your advise or isn’t that necessary and can I install Johns plugin with problems to expect.

Is Avatar Privacy of Peter Putzer an alternative you can advise?

Thanks in advance, Rob

Hello @changes

I just suggested this plugin because I am using it on different other websites and I know that it is working fine in combination with the Asgaros Forum-plugin. It is true that the plugin didnt get any updates since a certain time periode. However, the mentioned plugin only adds some basic-functionality and dont come with complex changes or additions to the core-system of WordPress. Because of this I think its perfectly fine to use it as long as the reviews dont indicate that there are serious problems with recent versions of WordPress.

Another user also suggested the following plugin:

Avatar Manager

But I did not test this plugin yet, so I cannot tell you if its working well or not.
