<p>Allows authors to restrict access to blocks by user roles.</p>
<p>This plugin is meant to be lightweight, limited in scope, while maintaining extensibility. If you need a hook, please reach out!</p>
<h3>Developer API</h3>
<p>User Block Visibility is meant to be extensible. For example, use the filter <code>ubv_built_in_user_roles</code> to restrict the built-in roles that are available.</p>
<p>To create custom restriction options, use <code>ubv_additional_roles</code> and the built-in WordPress filter <code>render_block</code>.</p>
<p>To restrict access to this functionality, use <code>ubv_do_enqueue_sidebar</code>.</p>


User Block Visibility

5 star plugin obviously since it works as advertised can can be really helpful  under certain conditions. I hope the development of the plugin continues, and a feature to also display (or not to display) the blocks for certain devices is also added (desktop, tablet, phone). This feature to be implemented should be easier to code because all you need to trigger the conditions are some simple CSS media queries.

Good job so far nevertheless...

Works as advertised...

Allows authors to restrict access to blocks by user roles.

<p>Adds an avatar upload field to user profiles if the current user has media permissions. Generates requested sizes on demand just like Gravatar! Simple and lightweight.</p>
<p>Just edit a user profile, and scroll down to the new “Avatar” field. The plug-in will take care of cropping and sizing!</p>
<ol>
<li>Stores avatars in the “uploads” folder where all of your other media is kept.</li>
<li>Has a simple, native interface.</li>
<li>Fully supports Gravatar and default avatars if no local avatar is set for the user – but also allows you turn off Gravatar.</li>
<li>Generates the requested avatar size on demand (and stores the new size for efficiency), so it looks great, just like Gravatar!</li>
<li>Lets you decide whether lower privilege users (subscribers, contributors) can upload their own avatar.</li>
<li>Enables rating of local avatars, just like Gravatar.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Support Level</h3>
<p>Simple Local Avatars’ support level is marked as <code>stable</code>.  10up is not planning to develop any new features for this, but will still respond to bug reports and security concerns.  We welcome PRs, but any that include new features should be small and easy to integrate and should not include breaking changes.  We otherwise intend to keep this tested up to the most recent version of WordPress.</p>


Simple Local Avatars

I've 100+ writers on a news website. It's was so hard for to everybody create an account in Gravatar. This plugin helps me a lot to upload writer photos from the dashboard.

Hats of the plugin author.

Great plugin

Great Plugin Great Support


The support of the WordPress REST API is a lifesaver for me. Simple Local Avatars is the only avatar plugin I know of that supports the REST API.I used it in my React with WordPress Tutorial. Without it, the whole Tutorial wouldn't have worked.


Does what it says and supports REST API


I like that it allows gravatar to continue to be used. If you set the local only option however all your existing avatars will be reset to the same avatar.  People get used to their own avatars and these shouldn't change, they should be copied locally from gravatar when the option is set if local copies don't already exist.  Croping also fails.  Looks like I need to look for another plugin as this is no longer under development.


Good but with "Features"


This plugin does well in extending WordPress' Avatar capabilities.


Nice Plugin

Adds an avatar upload field to user profiles. Generates requested sizes on demand just like Gravatar!
