<p>Whether you’re running a community site, a social network, or any BuddyPress-powered platform, Simple BuddyPress Signup Avatar helps you create a more engaging and personalized user experience from the very beginning. Simple Buddypress Signup Avatar enhances the BuddyPress registration process by allowing users to upload their avatar during sign-up.</p>
<p>This plugin is specifically designed for BuddyPress installations that use email confirmation and/or admin approval for new registrations. It provides a seamless integration with BuddyPress, offering customizable options for avatar uploads including file size limits, dimension restrictions, and image compression. Temporary avatars are securely stored and managed until account activation, whether through email confirmation or admin approval.</p>
<h3>Why this plugin?</h3>
<p>Getting users to upload avatars can be a challenge in BuddyPress communities. Unlike profile fields, avatars can’t be made mandatory. The issue is that a community with few real-user avatars can feel uninviting. Member directories and widgets end up looking dull and uninspiring. Too many default “mystery man” avatars floating around can give the impression that the social network is overrun with spammers.</p>
<p>One way to encourage users to upload an avatar is to make it the first thing they see when registering for your community. Simple BuddyPress Signup Avatar is a new plugin that adds avatar upload functionality to the registration form.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Avatar upload during BuddyPress registration</li>
<li>Compatible with BuddyPress email confirmation and admin approval processes</li>
<li>Customizable maximum file size and dimensions</li>
<li>Image compression options</li>
<li>Automatically removes EXIF data for privacy</li>
<li>Secure temporary file storage until account activation</li>
<li>Automatic cleanup of unused temporary avatars for unactivated accounts (weekly)</li>
<li>Live frontend preview functionality for uploaded avatars</li>
<li>Multilingual support. Currently available in the major languages: EN, DE, NL, FR, ES</li>
</ul>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 5.0 or higher</li>
<li>BuddyPress 5.0 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 7.2 or higher</li>
<li>BuddyPress must be configured to use email confirmation and/or admin approval for new registrations</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Once activated and configured, the avatar upload field will automatically appear in the BuddyPress registration form. Users can upload their avatar during registration. The avatar will be stored temporarily and will only be finalized once the user’s account is activated, either through email confirmation or admin approval.</p>

Simple BuddyPress Signup Avatar

Enhances BuddyPress registration by allowing users to upload avatars during sign-up.

<p>Adds local (private) avatars for your users.  Maybe your users don’t want a global avatar, aren’t IT savvy enough to set a Gravatar up, simply want a private avatar for your blog, or any other reason too…  Well, from WordPress 2.5 onwards, you can manage local and global avatars with this plugin.  Plus you can use your Twitter avatar too!</p>
<p>From v9.0 Avatars requires PHP version 5.1.3 or greater.</p>
<p>The plug-in now delivers the much requested feature of allowing users to upload their own local avatar.  And, the latest new feature allows your users to use their <a href="http://twitter.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Twitter</a> avatar.  The order of precedence is; <em>Local</em>, <em>Twitter</em>, then <em>Global</em>.  In other words; if you define a Local avatar for a user, that will be used, if there is no Local avatar defined and a Twitter ID is given for a user, the plugin will try to use that avatar.  Lastly, where no Local avatar is defined and no Twitter ID is given (or Twitter doesn’t return a match), a unique Global avatar (<a href="http://gravatar.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Gravatar</a>) will be generated.</p>
<p>The local avatar feature list:</p>
<ul>
<li>Have global or local avatars for your users.</li>
<li>Use Twitter avatars for your users.</li>
<li>Allow avatars to be included in posts.  This is achieved securely; e-mail addresses are not exposed.</li>
<li>Detailed control over the default avatar to use for those users who do not have a global or local avatar.  Allows a choice of a custom image, ‘mystery’ blank image, blank, Wavatar, Monster ID, or Identicon.</li>
<li>Wraps avatars in code to support SnapShots (www.snap.com), should your site use these.</li>
<li>Permits users to upload their own local avatars.</li>
</ul>

<p>Plus there is now a new sidebar widget extension to the plug-in that provides a feature allowing users to manage their avatar from the sidebar without having to use WordPress’ profile administration page.  It provides the same capability as the profile page.  This new feature provides yet more support for users who may not, for example, be savvy enough to use the WordPress administration interface.

Add Local Avatar

When I tried to add the user avatar the plugin showed the link as
//image-file.jpg 
Basically the plugin is broken.



It simply does not work

This plugin adds the ability to manage global, local, and use twitter avatars.
