User Profile Picture is no longer under active development, but will continue to work as is. We have integrated the current functionality in Profile Builder where it will actively be maintained, and we recommend migrating to it. Set or remove a custom profile image for a user using the standard WordPress media upload tool. View Documentation and Examples Users must have the ability to upload images (typically author role or greater). You can use the plugin Profile Builder to allow other roles (e.g. subscribers) the ability to upload images. A template tag is supplied for outputting to a theme and the option to override a user’s default avatar is also available. Documentation and Feedback See the documentation on GitHub.
