One User Avatar | User Profile Picture vs Redirect Gravatar requests

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: Avatar Edit Image Original Size Thumbnail Default Avatar Undo 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 ' '; } add_action( 'wpua_before_avatar', 'my_before_avatar' ); function my_after_avatar() { echo ' '; } add_action( 'wpua_after_avatar', 'my_after_avatar' ); This would output: Edit Image Original Size Thumbnail Default Avatar Undo

When displaying a post or comment with avatars enabled, WordPress will always check for the existence of a Gravatar. (Note: even the default avatars ‘mystery person’ and ‘blank’ are in fact Gravatars served from gravatar.com.) WordPress does this by sending an MD5 hash of every displayed post or comment author’s email address to gravatar.com. Even with many plugins that introduce locally stored default or user avatars, this check still happens. On top of that, some themes or plugins force (Gr)avatars to load even if the display of avatars is disabled completely in WordPress’ settings. If for whatever reason you do not wish for Gravatar to receive these requests (which some people have voiced GDPR concerns about), this plugin is for you. The way it works is every time WordPress attempts to display an avatar, this plugin first checks if the image is about to be retrieved from gravatar.com. If it is, the URL is changed to the locally stored ‘mystery person’ image (included with this plugin). If the avatar has any other source, this plugin doesn’t interfere. Gravatars are also removed from the Discussion page in Settings and replaced with the locally stored ‘mystery person’ image. Again, any non-Gravatar images are left alone. Upon activation of this plugin, if a Gravatar is selected as the default avatar, that setting is changed to the locally stored ‘mystery person’ image. If any non-Gravatar avatar is selected, that setting isn’t changed. Upon deactivation of this plugin, if the locally stored ‘mystery person’ image is selected as the default avatar, that setting is changed to the Gravatar logo. If any non-Gravatar avatar is selected, that setting isn’t changed.
