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

GhostGate is a lightweight yet powerful WordPress security plugin that eliminates the login page as an attack surface. Instead of just defending, it erases the entrance entirely with dynamic login URLs and multi-layer access verification.
<ul>
<li>🔒 Hide your login URL with a custom slug and time-based code</li>
<li>🔑 Built-in 2FA via email verification</li>
<li>🚫 Auto-block brute force attacks by IP</li>
<li>🧱 Disable/limit unused endpoints like XML-RPC and REST API</li>
<li>👤 Prevent user enumeration via REST, RSS, and author queries</li>
<li>🔍 Visualize security status and detect conflicts</li>
<li>📜 Activity logs with optional file rotation</li>
</ul>
GhostGate doesn’t just defend — it disappears. 
Invisible to bots. Intuitive for users.

<h3>Privacy</h3>
GhostGate can store the following data locally on your site to provide rate-limiting and security auditing: 
– IP addresses (for temporary throttling / block lists) 
– Timestamps and event metadata (login attempts, REST/XML-RPC hits) 
– Optional log files under <code>wp-content/uploads/ghostgate/logs</code> (if enabled)
No data is sent to third-party services. 
Site owners are responsible for informing users/visitors where required by local laws. You can clear blocks/logs from the admin UI or by deleting the log files.

GhostGate

Invisible, intelligent protection for WordPress. GhostGate hides your login page, blocks bots, and turns your site into a ghost fortress.
