The first method you linked to didn’t work (the config.php method), however, the second method linked in that posts (php.ini and .htaccess) worked well.

The latest update broke something. I’m admin, and when I try to save after making any changes I get error : Fatal error:
Call to undefined function wpua_is_author_or_above() in /home/xxxxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/wp-user-avatar/includes/class-wp-user-avatar.php on line 162
