⚠️ 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.
