This plugin makes it easy to display lists of user avatars, grouped by user roles, on your (multiuser) site. It also allows you to insert single avatars for blog users or any email address into a post or page – great for displaying an image of someone you’re talking about.
It makes use of built-in WordPress (core) functions to retrieve user information and get avatars.
Integrates with: Gutenberg, BuddyPress, xprofile, Multisite, Wpmu, BBPress, co-authors.
Avatar lists can be inserted into your sidebar by adding a widget or into posts/pages by using a <a href="http://authoravatars.wordpress.com/documentation/authoravatars-shortcode/" rel="nofollow ugc">shortcode</a>. The plugin comes with a tinymce editor plugin which makes inserting shortcodes very easy.
This also provides Gutenberg Block for use with the Gutenberg editor. 
Please help with the plugin Translations at https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/author-avatars.
Both the shortcode and widget and Gutenberg Block can be configured to:
<ul>
<li>Show a custom title (widget only)</li>
<li>Only show specific user groups and/or hide certain users</li>
<li>Limit the number of users shown</li>
<li>Change the sort order of users or show in random order</li>
<li>Adjust the size of user avatars</li>
<li>Optionally show a user’s name or biography</li>
<li>Show users from the current blog, all blogs or a selection of blogs (on WPMU/Multisite)</li>
<li>Group users by their blog (when showing from multiple blogs), and show the blog name above each grouping.</li>
<li>Support users from Co-Author Plus, Ultimate Member, BBpress and BuddyPress (xprofile)</li>
<li>Limit the number of avatars per page for large sets by adding a page_size to the shortcode e.g. “page_size=30” (shortcode only)</li>
</ul>
Additionally, single user avatars can be inserted using the <a href="http://authoravatars.wordpress.com/documentation/show_avatar-shortcode/" rel="nofollow ugc">show_avatar shortcode</a> and configured to:
<ul>
<li>Adjust the size of the user avatar.</li>
<li>Align the avatar left, centered or right.

⚠️ This plugin has been retired.
We’ve rebuilt this plugin from the ground up as a brand new, modern WordPress.org plugin:
👉 <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/chargewp-front-end-avatar-upload/" rel="ugc">ChargeWP – Front-End Avatar Upload</a>
Please install and activate the new plugin to continue receiving updates and support.
This version (1.0.1) now displays a migration notice and version 1.0.2 will not run the upload functionality anymore — it’s safe to keep active temporarily while switching.
<h3>Why the Change?</h3>
<ul>
<li>The new plugin offers improved performance and security</li>
<li>Better WooCommerce and new block editor support</li>
<li>Ongoing updates and future enhancements on WordPress.org</li>
<li>Easier support and automatic updates</li>
</ul>
<h3>What Happens After Updating?</h3>
After updating to version 1.0.1, you’ll see a notice in your WordPress Dashboard with a one-click option to Install & Activate ChargeWP – Front-End Avatar Upload. 
All existing data (user profile pictures) remain after switching plugins but will not work if you go back to the old plugin.
