Compatibility Multisite 4.1
avatars allows Multisite users to upload, manage and share profile and site avatars. From ‘selfies’ to company logos, images help us personally connect with other users and companies on the web.
This plugin integrates profile images in a way that feels native to WordPress core. Adding a simple avatars settings feature to the user profile, and a ‘Site Avatar’ option under ‘Settings’, brings a surprising new level of user participation.
Better design. Big payoff.
Add profile pictures to comments, friend lists, and member and site directories without having to configure a thing. WPMU DEV themes and directory plugins take full advantage of Avatars extensibility and offer complete plug-n-play integration.
More flexibility and safer than Gravatar
Rather than sending your users to a third party site like Gravatar, and not being able to control the avatars they use, this plugin allows you to manage and control the avatars used on your site.
Perfectly crop any image
Upload a picture, of any shape, and use the crop tool to make the perfect selection. Avatars are stored in their own unique folder, protecting your Media Library from getting filled with all the amazing profile images your users will be uploading.
User AND site avatars
You want users to have great avatars for commenting and to go in their author profiles, but what about when you want to list your sites in a directory or feature them on the homepage of your network? Avatars takes care of that problem by allowing users to set both personal AND site avatars.
Avatars comes with a feature set that includes:
- Both user and site avatar options
- Choose perfect trim and crop on upload
- Quickly enhance site design with included Avatars widget
- End-user setup and configuration
- Isolated avatar image directory for simplified Media Library navigation
- High level branding and user self-expression
- Fully WordPress and Multisite compatible
- Settings UI integrates flawlessly with Core
- Comment avatar code included with every WPMU DEV theme
- Instant avatar display with every WPMU DEV user and blog directory plugin
- High-quality code foundation for easy third-party theme and plugin integration
Connect usernames with faces and site titles with company branding – add profile images to WordPress with Avatars.
For help with installing plugins please refer to our Plugin installation guide.
Once installed navigate to Plugins in the network admin dashboard and network activate the plugin.
