Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Simple Local Avatars version 2.8.6 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Adds an avatar upload field to user profiles if the current user has media permissions. Generates requested sizes on demand just like Gravatar! Simple and lightweight.
Just edit a user profile, and scroll down to the new “Avatar” field. The plug-in will take care of cropping and sizing!
Stores avatars in the “uploads” folder where all of your other media is kept.
Has a simple, native interface.
Fully supports Gravatar and default avatars if no local avatar is set for the user – but also allows you turn off Gravatar.
Generates the requested avatar size on demand (and stores the new size for efficiency), so it looks great, just like Gravatar!
Lets you decide whether lower privilege users (subscribers, contributors) can upload their own avatar.
Enables rating of local avatars, just like Gravatar.
Support Level
Simple Local Avatars’ support level is marked as stable. 10up is not planning to develop any new features for this, but will still respond to bug reports and security concerns. We welcome PRs, but any that include new features should be small and easy to integrate and should not include breaking changes.
We otherwise intend to keep this tested up to the most recent version of WordPress.
