Custom User Profile Photo

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 98% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   This author did a good job. I was looking for an alternative of gravatar to change administrator profile pictures & fortunately found this plugin. It’s free! Awesome!

   CMS users should always be able to upload their own image, not be chained to an avatar service or some avatar set. This little plugin lets all our members effortlessly add their own photo. Super handy plugin!

   Cool feature when one does not have or want to create an avator to use as profile photo. Works out of the box and does what it promises. Thanks! Annie
