## Description

Custom Post Avatar is inspired by Aaron Parecki’s Emoji Avatars functionality on
his website (https://aaronparecki.com/2019/02/25/9/emoji), but instead of beeing
related to the used emojis in the content it is possible to choose it from the media
library independend.

Major features in Custom Post Avatar:

 * Optionally select custom avatar for each post.
 * Replace avatar only for the post author, not for comment authors.

To get results out of this plugin you’ll need a theme displaying user avatars via
the get_avatar function.

### Roadmap

 * Optional Caching of Commenter Avatars
 * Possibility to remove avatars from user profile
 * Possibility to edit other user avatars as admin
 * Possibility to remove avatar from post (reset to default)
