Avatar Upload Compatibility

  • I am using WP User Avatar and I have encountered an issue in using it along side Author Avatars List. The avatar is not resizing. I have read most of the support posts here and my best guess is that it is an issue with the avatars not being gravatar ones. I tried using a gravatar and sure enough, the image was resized.

    Is there a way to fix this with WP User Avatar? If not, do you know an avatar uploading plugin that does work with Author Avatars List? My users are unlikely to ever use avatars if gravatar is the only option.

    Hi

    The way my plug-in works it that I call the wordpress function get_avatar() passing in the size that you have set.

    I have a quick look at the code in WP User Avater and fond this code where the author tries to adjust the avatar size before it returns the img tag

    My guess is that is not quite right so we need to ask the WP User Avater to have a look at this.

    Sorry I can’t fix it from my end

    there are other local avatar plug-in which I believe to re-size with no problem so you may to change the plug-in.

    Thank you Paul. I found that “Simple Local Avatars” is a working alternative to go with your wonderful plugin.

    For anyone else who uses this post as a resource, know that with SLA as of 2.0 there is a developer filter for limiting the size of uploaded avatars but it has to be implemented manually. I am attempting to learn how to implement it.

    I just wanted to follow up so no one else finds out the hard way like I did. I customized SLA a bit before figuring out that it does not overwrite new old avatar uploads so it can gobble up space on with a bbpress install.

    I have asked WP User Avatar creator Bangbay if she could take a look at compatibility with Author Avatars List and have linked to this thread.
