    Hi @ronalfy

    This plugin looks great. We need a solution with Rest API support.

    As I was looking through the code I realised that the user profile image is being saved as a featured image to a CPT. I am curious what the reasoning is for using this type of data storage instead of perhaps user_meta.

    Thanks!
    Ulrich

    Back when it was coded, the modal for media was new and quirky, so the best route to use the media uploader was to create an empty post and attach a featured image to it.

    The Media Uploader is a lot more flexible now, but the way the image stored is the same for legacy and backward compatibility.
