One User Avatar | User Profile Picture

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 · 88% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   The plugin slows down site (admin area) when you choose a default avatar. Causes high CPU and physical memory usage. I wouldn’t recommend as it caused me pain.

   At least on up to date untested version of WordPress & PHP. It doesn’t resize the original image but uses HTML to so, so you better start with a small image! In my case my avatar became a dot as it used html height/width to create a 1×1 image: <img src="ht...com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/K....jpg" width="1" height="1" alt="user name" class="avatar avatar-32 wp-user-avatar wp-user-avatar-32 alignnone photo">

   Just what the doctor ordered. something simple with a simple setup. All I need is a avatar plugin that just slips into the user settings and replaces the Gravatar requirement that depends on an outside avatar service. It actually has a compatibility with the Ultimate Member plugin. It can upload avatars directly using the browser instead of WordPress’s image uploader which gives everyone access to your WordPress image library.

   This plugin is an example of a great developer with no respect for web designers work. The plugin icon is simply horrendous, unjustifiable.Not happy in damaging our back-end design right on the main sidebar menu, you will find it on every time you have to edit a text… don’t know why the developer thinks we need to add the user image on every text. Please developer, do it right, do it beautifully.

   I was up and running with this plugin in a matter of seconds. This functionality should be in WP by default – NO ONE uses gravatars! 🤣
