AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
One User Avatar | User Profile Picture is a highly rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Users category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 41 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. 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.

How One User Avatar | User Profile Picture works
Show full descriptionShow less
WordPress currently only allows you to use custom avatars that are uploaded through Gravatar. One User Avatar enables you to use any photo uploaded into your Media Library as an avatar. This means you use the same uploader and library as your posts. No extra folders or image editing functions are necessary. This plugin is a fork of WP User Avatar v2.2.16.
One User Avatar also lets you:
Upload your own Default Avatar in your One User Avatar settings.
Show the user’s Gravatar avatar or Default Avatar if the user doesn’t have a One User Avatar image.
Disable Gravatar avatars and use only local avatars.
Use the [avatar_upload] shortcode to add a standalone uploader to a front page or widget. This uploader is only visible to logged-in users.
Use the [avatar] shortcode in your posts. These shortcodes will work with any theme, whether it has avatar support or not.
Allow Contributors and Subscribers to upload their own avatars.
Limit upload file size and image dimensions for Contributors and Subscribers.

Advanced Settings Add One User Avatar to your own profile edit page You can use the [avatar_upload] shortcode to add a standalone uploader to any page. It’s best to use this uploader by itself and without other profile fields.
If you’re building your own profile edit page with other fields, One User Avatar is automatically added to the show_user_profile and edit_user_profile hooks. If you’d rather have One User Avatar in its own section, you could add another hook:
do_action( 'edit_user_avatar', $current_user );
Then, to add One User Avatar to that hook and remove it from the other hooks outside of the administration panel, you would add this code to the functions.php file of your theme:
function my_avatar_filter() { // Remove from show_user_profile hook remove_action( 'show_user_profile', array( 'wp_user_avatar', 'wpua_action_show_user_profile' ) ); remove_action( 'show_user_profile', array( 'wp_user_avatar', 'wpua_media_upload_scripts' ) );
// Remove from edit_user_profile hook remove_action( 'edit_user_profile', array( 'wp_user_avatar', 'wpua_action_show_user_profile' ) ); remove_action( 'edit_user_profile', array( 'wp_user_avatar', 'wpua_media_upload_scripts' ) );
// Add to edit_user_avatar hook add_action( 'edit_user_avatar', array( 'wp_user_avatar', 'wpua_action_show_user_profile' ) ); add_action( 'edit_user_avatar', array( 'wp_user_avatar', 'wpua_media_upload_scripts' ) ); }
// Loads only outside of administration panel if ( ! is_admin() ) { add_action( 'init','my_avatar_filter' ); }
HTML Wrapper You can change the HTML wrapper of the One User Avatar section by using the functions wpua_before_avatar and wpua_after_avatar. By default, the avatar code is structured like this:
<div class="wpua-edit-container"> <h3>Avatar</h3> <input type="hidden" name="wp-user-avatar" id="wp-user-avatar" value="{attachmentID}" /> <p id="wpua-add-button"> <button type="button" class="button" id="wpua-add" name="wpua-add">Edit Image</button> </p> <p id="wpua-preview"> <img src="{imageURL}" alt="" /> Original Size </p> <p id="wpua-thumbnail"> <img src="{imageURL}" alt="" /> Thumbnail </p> <p id="wpua-remove-button"> <button type="button" class="button" id="wpua-remove" name="wpua-remove">Default Avatar</button> </p> <p id="wpua-undo-button"> <button type="button" class="button" id="wpua-undo" name="wpua-undo">Undo</button> </p> </div>
To strip out the div container and h3 heading, you would add the following filters to the functions.php file in your theme:
remove_action( 'wpua_before_avatar', 'wpua_do_before_avatar' ); remove_action( 'wpua_after_avatar', 'wpua_do_after_avatar' );
To add your own wrapper, you could create something like this:
function my_before_avatar() { echo '<div id="my-avatar">'; } add_action( 'wpua_before_avatar', 'my_before_avatar' );
function my_after_avatar() { echo '</div>'; } add_action( 'wpua_after_avatar', 'my_after_avatar' );
This would output:
<div id="my-avatar"> <input type="hidden" name="wp-user-avatar" id="wp-user-avatar" value="{attachmentID}" /> <p id="wpua-add-button"> <button type="button" class="button" id="wpua-add" name="wpua-add">Edit Image</button> </p> <p id="wpua-preview"> <img src="{imageURL}" alt="" /> <span class="description">Original Size</span> </p> <p id="wpua-thumbnail"> <img src="{imageURL}" alt="" /> <span class="description">Thumbnail</span> </p> <p id="wpua-remove-button"> <button type="button" class="button" id="wpua-remove" name="wpua-remove">Default Avatar</button> </p> <p id="wpua-undo-button"> <button type="button" class="button" id="wpua-undo" name="wpua-undo">Undo</button> </p> </div>
