WordPress currently only allows you to use custom avatars that are uploaded through Gravatar. Dew User Profile Picture 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.- Version: 1.0.1

Setting a New Profile Picture

Displaying the Profile Picture
Use the Template Function
There’s a built-in template function that will retrieve and display the profile image. It accepts the same arguments as get_the_post_thumbnail. Here’s an example of it in use.
<?php/** * dew_profile_img * * Adds a profile image * * @param $user_id INT - The user ID for the user to retrieve the image for * @param $args mixed size - string || array (see get_the_post_thumbnail) attr - string || array (see get_the_post_thumbnail) echo - bool (true or false) - whether to echo the image or return it */ //Assuming $post is in scopeif ( function_exists ( 'dew_profile_img' ) ) { $author_id = $post->post_author; dew_profile_img( $author_id, array( 'size' => 'thumbnail', 'attr' => array( 'alt' => 'Alternative Text' ), 'echo' => true, ) );} |

- Upload your own Default Avatar in your User Profile Picture settings.
