Plugin Directory

Simple Local Avatars

Adds an avatar upload field to user profiles if the current user has media permissions. Generates requested sizes on demand just like Gravatar!

  1. Install easily with the WordPress plugin control panel or manually download the plugin and upload the extracted folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
  3. If you only want users with file upload capabilities to upload avatars, check the applicable option under Settings > Discussion
  4. Start uploading avatars by editing user profiles!

Use avatars in your theme using WordPress' built in get_avatar() function: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_avatar

You can also use get_simple_local_avatar() (with the same arguments) to retreive local avatars a bit faster, but this will make your theme dependent on this plug-in.
