Simple Local Avatars 1.3.1 for WordPress
Add an avatar upload field to user profiles. Generate requested sizes on demand, just like Gravatar.
Adds an avatar upload field to user profiles if the current user has media permissions. Generates requested sizes on demand just like Gravatar! Simple and lightweight.
Just edit a user profile, and scroll down to the new “Avatar” field. The plug-in will take care of cropping and sizing!
Unlike other avatar plug-ins, Simple Local Avatars:
- Stores avatars in the “uploads” folder where all of your other media is kept
- Has a simple, native interface
- Fully supports Gravatar and default avatars if no local avatar is set for the user
- Generates the requested avatar size on demand (and stores the new size for efficiency), so it looks great, just like Gravatar!
- Let’s you decide whether lower privilege users (subscribers, contributors) can upload their own avatar

Avatar upload field on a user profile page
Is there any way to display (and upload) user avatar with different width and height? I’d like to set a max_height (i.e. 90px) and have the uploaded image width re-sized subsequently. Thank you in advance for your answer!
Not currently, and not sure this will change. The plug-in emulates the Gravatar functionality, and just makes it local. Gravatar does not support non-square proportions.
Hey Jake and thanks for the awesome plugin! Would it be possible to add a shortcode that displays the uploader? I have a front end user profile system using the Profile Builder plugin but it does not display your plugin on the front end.. any ideas?
I see this as bloat in the current plug-in, but there are third party plug-ins that do display avatars via shortcode, and should be compatible.
Hello Jack..!!
you have done grt with this plugin.
But can you be more specific to this at front what i need to do for upload at front.
i want this simple.. but urgent.
you can suggest me.
any help would be grt to me.
When using “Choose file…” to upload an avatar, the resulting File Upload window does not display folders / files in any directory I select. Mac OS X Lion / Safari or FireFox / WP 3.4.2.
Definitely sounds like a problem with your OS or browser. I have no control over what shows up in that dialog!
Thanks for this Great plugin.
Hi,
I have just installed on and WP 3.5.1 and got the following error:
“The plugin generated 3 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.”
any idea?
Hi, nice plugin! Everithing is working well but I don’t know what is the reason of that, I can’t access anymore to the users administration wordpress page after some users upload their picture. Can you help me please.
Are you seeing a warning?
The plugin says “Generate requested sizes on demand”. How do I set the default max size? I would like something bigger than 96×96.
You don’t need to. It automatically scales to whatever size is requested. Note that it only scales down, not up (where width / height properties will simply stretch it).
Hi, I used your plugin, its very nice. But I have trouble when translate. It translate only in admin panel, it still show in English on front page. How to fix this?

Great Plugin Jake, bassically it’s the only plugin (well, facebook and XMLsitemaps and lock wp-admin instead ) i have installed in my blog. But i want a little bit of help with somthing… and you’ll know what i mean when you read this:
You know this is a pain in the ass because you can’t get the url, just the avatar, and the url delivered will be a series of “0″ from gravatar.
Can you help me with this? I’m asking to you because you wrote this plugin and is very possible that you know how to twek this thing, with some filter, snippet or function.
Grettings.
Not sure I understand the question, honestly.
