Remove avatars from your WordPress site

Avatars

A WordPress plugin to remove avatars from your WordPress site

Derrick Tennant

I’d been manually adding custom default avatars in functions.php for a while, and it was always a hassle to edit it to change them. I decided to see if there was a plugin available to do the job, and stumbled upon “Add New Default Avatar” here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-new-default-avatar/ 
It was nice, but it was missing some features such as the ability to manage avatars, upload images, and automatically resize thumbnails. So I made a few modifications 🙂
Features:
<ul>
<li>Saves current default avatar before activating and restores it when deactivated</li>
<li>Upload images using AJAX directly from the plugin page</li>
<li>Ability to remove unneeded custom default avatars from the default avatar list</li>
</ul>

This is my version of trepmal's "Add New Default Avatar" plugin.  It has a few more features which I was looking for.
