Youtube Profile Field allows you to automatically show your latest Youtube videos on your blog. Just enter your Youtube username (or channel ID) in the profile and you’re ready to show your videos to the world!
Show your videos in your posts, pages, and text widgets using a shortcode, or in your theme files using the template tag.
So, how is this different from the Youtube oEmbed feature that’s already in WordPress?
The built-in feature is awesome if you want to show a specific video. But what if you always want to show your latest video? Or 3 latest videos? You could manually update them each you upload a new video, or you could use this plugin to take care of it for you.

Youtube Profile Field

Automatically display your latest Youtube videos on your site. Comes with the shortcode [youtube-user] to be used in posts and pages.

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.
Just edit a user profile, and scroll down to the new “Avatar” field. The plug-in will take care of cropping and sizing!
<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>

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
