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
