Not everyone has a Gravatar, or wants one. Avatars lets users upload a profile picture straight to your site, and it shows up everywhere WordPress shows avatars: comments, author boxes, the toolbar and more.

Features

  • Users upload a picture from their profile
  • Administrators can upload or remove any user’s avatar
  • A Custom avatars view on the Users screen shows who has one, and removes them in bulk
  • Images are resized to your thumbnail size, and cropped if thumbnail cropping is on
  • JPG, PNG and GIF are supported, and old images are deleted when replaced
  • Optionally turn Gravatar off so no avatar requests leave your site
  • Works across a multisite network, with each user’s avatar shown on every site
  • When Profiles is installed, users upload from the front-end profile page
  • When Social is installed, a new user’s social profile photo becomes their avatar
