No issues here. Works fine, just make sure to have Avatars on in the Setting > Discussion.

Edit: Seeing again after disabling and enabling the plugin.
The field to upload local avatar in user profile is now showing up. On the front end I see the old photo I uploaded, but not on the back end. No way to change it.

works fine for me, thank you dev team

I just realized that the avatars are looking good on the front end webpage, although not in the back end, like in the upper right side of the page after login or in the wordpress/users/username/avatar settings, image looks url broken. I hope you can understand what I’m trying to say, and hopefully check on that, other than that great plugin!

This plugin sounded like just what I wanted: a simple solution for a minimalist blog site. Unfortunately, it just plain didn’t work. No avatar ever appeared anywhere, although it did upload images to my Media Library. I tried for support through www.remarpro.com and got what looked like a quick, comprehensive response, which asked a few more questions and didn’t actually help me otherwise. I answered the questions over a week ago. Now I’m joining others who didn’t actually get support and complained about it not working. This plugin is a good idea and may have once worked, but from my perspective all it did was burn my time and patience and ultimately fail me. Definitely not recommended.

Until this latest version, I considered this a 5 star plug-in. Unfortunately the version 2.7.8 broke everything. None of the avatars were showing on my blog comments after the plug-in updated. When I deactivate the plug-in, they show up again. I admit that I’m not a software expert, I merely use software to bring the desired result. I’ll keep the plug-in disabled, and hope that when it’s upgraded again, it begins working for me as it did before.
Edit: a newer version, 2.7.9, has just been released to address this issue. I’ve installed it, and the avatars are back. This was a speedy and satisfying response to the problem. I’ve upgraded my initial review here from one to five stars as this plug-in has been perfect beyond this now-fixed hiccup. Thanks!

Since the latest update, the avatar only gives Identicon-style avatars and the same one for all users. My settings for users are to use a generic avatar if a Gravatar isn’t associated with the email address. If I had a Gravatar avatar and a had different one uploaded from the Image Library, both could be displayed but this update replaces both with a generic Idention avatar. I have checked my Gravatar account and my avatars are all still active there–they just don’t show up when this updated plugin is installed. I deleted the plugin from another WordPress site I have and the Gravatar returned. I reported that it stopped working in the support forum and nothing has been done to fix it. Disappointed because it used to allow the option to use different avatars from the one registered for the email address. Now just the same generic one shows for everyone even if they have a registered Gravatar.

This plugin does well in extending WordPress’ Avatar capabilities.

I like that it allows gravatar to continue to be used. If you set the local only option however all your existing avatars will be reset to the same avatar. People get used to their own avatars and these shouldn’t change, they should be copied locally from gravatar when the option is set if local copies don’t already exist. Croping also fails. Looks like I need to look for another plugin as this is no longer under development.

My error
]]>Rating: 1 star
When I activate this plugin, I can’t add an image anymore in Elementor Pro which is a big problem. I get some errors on the console log related to the “media-audiovideo.min.js”. The errors seem to indicate that there’s an issue with trying to access the ‘id’ property of an object that is undefined. It usually happens when there are conflicts with other JavaScript codes.

This should be in core! Such a simple action that this plugin does superbly!

Ever try explaining Gravatars to a non-technical client? Good luck with that. This plugin gives us an easy way to add user profile avatars for our clients without them ever having to know a gravatar from a platypus.

The support of the WordPress REST API is a lifesaver for me. Simple Local Avatars is the only avatar plugin I know of that supports the REST API.
I used it in my React with WordPress Tutorial. Without it, the whole Tutorial wouldn’t have worked.

Thanks for this plugin, it has been solve my problem with single installation.

While I support the principles behind Gravatars, my real-world experience is this: (1) I need different avatars of myself on different sites where I have professional or personal roles; (2) therefore a single universal Gravatar does not work for me, and I’m not going to set up different Gravatar accounts for different sites because, hey, c’mon; (3) for a low volume site with a number of known contributors, Gravatars add an extra layer of external complexity.
The “Simple Local Avatar” plug-in works for me, and addresses my pain points in a helpful way that is consistent with the way Gravatars work. The developer is going out of his way to make sure that a site with this plug-in will still accept and use Gravatars, but adds the common-sense capability for a user to upload their own Avatar photo. Dirt-simple and easy to use. It did not introduce any incompatibilities for me, and I appreciate that it just works.

…is there a way to skip the cropping step? I’ve already prepared the avatar image beforehand and have no need for another cropped version to be added to my media library. And in cases where the avatar is not supposed to have a square shape, the plugin is not usable anymore.
edit: skipping crop is now possible, changed my rating

Does exactly what it purports to do, cleanly and obviously. If you are looking for a plugin that plays nicely with gravatars but allows you to override them or select/upload an image from the media library, look no further. Essential for sites that publish authors who may not have WP accounts or ever sign into WP admin, but still need avatars/profile images.

This does work, but has some issues, First it doesn’t remove the default Profile Picture. Meaning you will see 2 sections in the Admin > Users for user photo. This confuses clients. There should be an option to hide the default Profile Picture or it should just do it automatically when this is enabled. Secondly, a minor issue is that the Admin setting for this is under Settings > Discussion. Which is fine, but I use “Disable Comments” which hides Settings > Discussion so I have no way of making Admin settings changes to this. Also most Plugins that have a settings page would have a settings link in the Plugins page underneath it’s name and this does not making it hard to find where the settings page is, but the author does explain this in their documentation.

Does what it’s supposed to, pretty well! I don’t use any other plugin for this, as Simple Local Avatar has everything I need.
What I would like to see? A way to set a default avatar. For example with the user’s initials incl. setting a background color for the image created this way.
Otherwise very satisfied. The code quality is also great, just because finally PHP classes were used.
I recommend it all the time.

I’ve 100+ writers on a news website. It’s was so hard for to everybody create an account in Gravatar. This plugin helps me a lot to upload writer photos from the dashboard.
Hats of the plugin author.
