Rathly Marketing

<p>Rathly Profile Avatars replaces the default Gravatar with your own uploaded images, giving every user a custom profile picture chosen straight from the WordPress Media Library. No external services, no accounts to create, and no code required. Each user sets their avatar on their own profile screen, and it appears everywhere your theme shows an avatar.</p>
<p>Gravatar ties a user’s photo to their email address on a third-party service, which is not always what you want. Maybe your authors do not have Gravatar accounts, maybe you want consistent on-brand headshots for a team or about-us page, or maybe you would simply rather keep avatar images on your own site. Rathly Profile Avatars lets you do exactly that while still working with any theme that relies on the standard WordPress avatar functions.</p>
<p>Because it hooks the core get_avatar and get_avatar_url filters, your custom images show up in comments, author boxes, the admin bar, the users list, and anywhere else WordPress renders an avatar. If a user has not set a custom image, the normal Gravatar is used, so nothing breaks.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>

<p>⚠️ <strong>This plugin has been retired.</strong></p>
<p>We’ve rebuilt this plugin from the ground up as a brand new, modern WordPress.org plugin:</p>
<p>👉 <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/chargewp-front-end-avatar-upload/" rel="ugc">ChargeWP – Front-End Avatar Upload</a></p>
<p><strong>Please install and activate the new plugin</strong> to continue receiving updates and support.</p>
<p>This version (1.0.1) now displays a migration notice and version 1.0.2 will <strong>not</strong> run the upload functionality anymore — it’s safe to keep active temporarily while switching.</p>
<h3>Why the Change?</h3>
<ul>
<li>The new plugin offers improved performance and security</li>
<li>Better WooCommerce and <strong>new</strong> 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>
<p>After updating to version 1.0.1, you’ll see a notice in your WordPress Dashboard with a one-click option to <strong>Install & Activate ChargeWP – Front-End Avatar Upload</strong>.<br />
All existing data (user profile pictures) remain after switching plugins but will not work if you go back to the old plugin.</p>
