WP User Avatars

Integrates well with WP User Profiles plugin from same author.

Best user avatar or pofile picture plugin


Very simplistic (which to some people is good) but not only do I want one that supplements Gravatar but has user support, this one is abandoned.


Replaces Gravatar

Allow registered users to upload & select their own avatars.
