⚠️ 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.

CodeablePress: Simple Frontend Profile Picture Upload

A simple, lightweight, and secure way for users to upload profile pictures directly from the WooCommerce My Account page or via shortcode.

Alexandra

Real Simple Avatar lets your users upload a custom profile photo or pick from a set of preset avatars. If no avatar is set, a colourful initials avatar is generated automatically — keeping your site looking polished without any extra effort from your users.
Features
<ul>
<li>Shortcode <code>[rsava_avatar_form]</code> — place on any page or post so logged-in users can manage their avatar without going to the admin panel.</li>
<li>AJAX upload — avatar updates happen instantly, without a page reload.</li>
<li>Custom photo upload — users can upload their own image; it is cropped to a configurable square size (default 240 × 240 px). Only one file is stored in the Media Library per user (old file is deleted automatically on replacement or deletion).</li>
<li>Initials fallback — if no avatar is set, a colourful SVG avatar made from the user’s initials is shown everywhere WordPress displays an avatar.</li>
<li>Preset avatars — choose from built-in preset images or replace them entirely with your own set via the plugin settings.</li>
<li>Fine-grained settings:
<ul>
<li>Enable / disable custom photo upload in the shortcode.</li>
<li>Enable / disable the preset avatar grid in the shortcode.</li>
<li>Configure which image formats are accepted (PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, HEIC, HEIF, AVIF, GIF).</li>
<li>Set the maximum upload file size (MB).</li>
<li>Set the crop size in pixels (e.g. 240 for 240 × 240 px). Uploaded images are stored only at this size — no extra WordPress sub-sizes are generated.</li>
<li>Customise the background colours and text colour used for initials avatars.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Admin profile page — admins can upload or remove a user’s avatar directly from the Edit User screen.</li>
<li>Clean uninstall — optionally delete all plugin settings and uploaded avatar media files when the plugin is deleted.</li>
<li>Partial Russian translation included.</li>
</ul>
