Avatar Manager


First off great that this plugin works, doesn’t cause download of huge images to display as small avatars and seems to work well 🙂



I like that it supports gravatar as a default.



I'm not sure it is still supported but if it is, it needs to have at least meta data updated so everything doesn't point to moved pages and needs to be marked as tested in release 6.4.2 or so...


Works in WP 6.4.2, Not sure is Still Supported

Basic Optimization provides simple on/off controls for common WordPress cleanup and performance-related tweaks. It is intentionally small, dependency-free, and designed for site owners who want practical optimization controls without a large performance suite.
The plugin adds a Basic Optimization admin screen where administrators can enable or disable each feature independently. It also includes a child Email Notifications settings page for disabling selected WordPress core auto emails.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Disable Emojis – Removes WordPress emoji scripts, styles, filters, and emoji DNS prefetch output.</li>
<li>Remove Shortlink – Removes the shortlink tag from the document head.</li>
<li>Remove CSS/JS Version – Removes the <code>ver</code> query argument from enqueued stylesheet and script URLs.</li>
<li>Remove RSD Links – Removes the Really Simple Discovery link from the document head.</li>
<li>Disable Embeds – Removes WordPress oEmbed discovery links and dequeues the default <code>wp-embed</code> frontend script.</li>
<li>Disable XML-RPC – Disables XML-RPC requests and removes the <code>X-Pingback</code> response header.</li>
<li>Remove WLW Manifest Link – Removes the Windows Live Writer manifest link from the document head.</li>
<li>Disable Self Pingback – Prevents self pingbacks when content links to the same site.</li>
<li>Hide WordPress Version – Removes the WordPress generator meta tag from the document head.</li>
<li>Disable Heartbeat – Deregisters the WordPress heartbeat script on the frontend.</li>
<li>Email Notifications – Adds dropdown controls to disable selected WordPress core auto emails, including new user registration, password changed, comment moderation, and automatically approved comment notifications.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Notes</h4>
Some features can affect integrations that rely on WordPress defaults. For example, disabling XML-RPC can affect external publishing clients and services that still depend on XML-RPC. Disabling auto emails can also affect administrator awareness of user and comment activity. Disable only the features that match your site requirements.
