⚠️ 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.

Your WooCommerce customers are faceless. Reviews come from anonymous silhouettes, the My Account dashboard greets returning shoppers with a generic placeholder, and every account in your store feels like a transaction instead of a person. Faceless reviews are trusted less, and anonymous accounts give your customers no reason to feel connected to your brand.
Advanced User Avatar gives every WooCommerce customer a real profile photo, uploaded from their device in seconds. The avatar appears in the WooCommerce My Account dashboard and on the Account Details page automatically. For BuddyPress communities, it replaces the default avatar uploader with a faster, friendlier flow. For any other WordPress site, drop the avatar uploader anywhere using a shortcode or the Gutenberg block.
<h4>Features</h4>

<li>Product review avatars — coming in version 2, so reviewers show as real people on product pages</li>
</ul>

<li>Auto-generated image sizes — multiple thumbnails created on upload for fast display everywhere</li>
</ul>
Placement options for developers and site builders
<ul>
<li>Shortcode: <code>[wpmake_advance_user_avatar_upload]</code> renders the full upload form on any page</li>
<li>Shortcode: <code>[wpmake_advance_user_avatar]</code> outputs the current user’s avatar</li>
<li>Gutenberg block for drag-and-drop placement in the block editor</li>
</ul>
<h4>No Gravatar, no external data sharing</h4>
Gravatar sends a hash of every visitor’s email address to an external server to fetch their photo. For EU stores and any site under GDPR scope, that third-party request is a compliance question your legal team would rather not answer. Advanced User Avatar stores every photo on your own server. No outbound requests, no hashed emails leaving your site, no third-party dependency.
Install the plugin and give your customers a face on your store.
