Description
Leenkat Profile Avatar Manager allows WordPress users to select and manage custom profile pictures using the built-in WordPress Media Library.
When a custom avatar is selected, the plugin uses it as the user’s profile picture instead of the default Gravatar image. If the custom avatar is removed, WordPress falls back to the default avatar.
The plugin integrates directly with the WordPress user profile screen and uses native WordPress functionality for media selection and profile management.
