Hi Support

Can I use the plugin to change the Profile image for a Dokan vendor ?

I have activated the Dokan Multivendor plugin a for WordPress / WooCommerce site, but sure on how use the plugin ?

Kindly advise.

The avatars are suddenly broken – upload fine, but will not display on screen. When you “view image in new tab” the image shows up. Any idea!?

When this plugin active, then it will show broken avatar in dashboard, all user page, etc with thumbnail image.

Hi!

I use learnpress. In the instructor section, the profile picture is taken from user’s avatar. Unfortunately, when I assign avatar from library to an user (by simple local avatar) the quality of this avatar is quite poor and it doesn’t look good. Can you help me how to improve the quality of avatars?

Hi there!

Does you plugin also work on the frontend? That is, will the uploaded image (user’s profile picture) display on both the backend and frontend of our site?

There are several Avatar plugins that do not work on the frontend, thus allowing our frontend pages to display the Users’ Gravatar (not the user’s profile picture).

Thank you!

Simple Local Avatars sounded like exactly what I wanted, simple, local, and minimal.

The problem is I can’t get it to work. I turned off Gravatars. When I try to upload an avatar from the user’s property page it shows up in the Media FIles. But no matter what else I do, the avatar never displays anywhere, not property page, comment, logged in user, nothing.

I tried removing it and putting it back. No change. It seems like lots of people have liked this plugin, so I’m trying to give it a chance before I give it a bad review.

Hello, as told in the title, for SOME accounts avatar shows up in the profile control panel but not in comments.

For 2 subscribers of the same status and settings, avatar of one is shown in comments, avatar of other one isn’t shown.

I tried to delete the avatar of a “not showing” account, put it back, no change, still not showing.

Any suggestion?

Thank you!

Hello,

Is there any way to migrate from add-local-avatar (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/add-local-avatar/) which has recently been closed? I have a site with thousands of authors with local avatars looking to get migrated to an updated local avatar plugin.

Hello, I’ve installed the Simple Local Avatars plugin on my WordPress site, but I’m having trouble getting it to display the uploaded profile pictures. When users upload their avatars, they appear broken or don’t show up at all on their profiles.

Can you please assist me in troubleshooting this issue?

Hello,
I’ve set the avatar for the User and i see it in the frontend of my website but in the backend tha image doesn’t appear.
See the screenshot here
Can you help me solve the issue?

Is there a way to put the avatar image on a page and load it from there without having to go to the user’s administrative panel? That is, to upload the image from a file system and update it. A shortcode or an API function?

Hi team,
this plugin will support for multisite environment? for example same user will exists on both sites how it will behave.
For example: in site A i have uploaded one image for user (image with same website A path) and same user is exist in Site-B i am planning to add another image for this user having image path of website-B.

How it will work, can you please clarify on this please?

Thanks,

Team,

is there a way to Completely disable gravatars. we are using “Only allow local avatars (still uses Gravatar for default avatars)” option still some times default images are replacing with gravatars.

can you please suggest what to do with this, we dont want any gravatars avathar on the website

We are having a severe issue with the latest released version (2.7.6) when used along a cloud storage plugin (in our case, we use S3-Uploads plugin). The result is the site becomes unresponsive.

The issue seems to have been introduced in #216.

From a quick look, the issues seems to be that the external S3 URL is returned here, and thus the replacement done here will never work.

This apparently causes the site to keep creating new image sizes forever.

It would be awesome if you could have a look at this, because we are unable to update the plugin in many of our sites.

Thanks!

And how to stop it?

When uploading (and cropping) the image, the following error message appears: An error occurred while cropping your image. No matter if admin or not. V 2.7.5

Hi,

the plugin was working perfectly, but since a while only the default avatar is shown. When I try to replace one for a user, it’s showing the default one still. Didn’t change any settings, no console or debug errors visible. All caches emptied etc.

Plugin 2.7.5, WP 6.2.3

Thanks,

eC

When using svg as avatar such as a default avatar the css needs some fix everywhere avatar is shown.

Please allow us to disable Gravatars completely and only allow local.

Right now, we still show gravatars in discussion, which is unnecessary if we only want to allow local.

And (still uses Gravatar for default avatars)

My function to add alt and title attributes to the avatar image no longer works after activating the plugin.

function replace_content($text) { 
  $alt = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' ); 
  $text = str_replace('alt=\'\'', 'alt=\''.$alt.'\' title=\''.$alt.'\'',$text);
  return $text; 
 } 
 add_filter('get_avatar','replace_content'); 

Any idea how I can add title and alt to uploaded avatar images?

Hello Support Team,

I am writing to report what appears to be a critical bug that requires immediate attention. I am a regular user of the WP Offload Media Plugin, and I have encountered a significant issue related to URL rewriting for avatar images when using the “Simple Local Avatars” plugin in conjunction with WP Offload Media.

The problem at hand is not a minor inconvenience but a fundamental flaw in the functionality of these two plugins working together. To provide you with a quick overview:

When avatar images are uploaded using “Simple Local Avatars,” they initially have a server URL format, such as:

Local URL: https://www.site.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/abc.jpg

However, after using the “Offload Remaining Now” option in the WP Offload Media settings (with “Remove Local Media” turned on), the URL of these avatar images changes to:

Offloaded URL: https://cdn.site.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/abc.jpg

The critical issue arises here – the local URLs of these offloaded avatar images are not being rewritten to point to the Amazon Cloudfront URL when the site is loaded. This inconsistency severely impacts the performance as user Avatar images are not being loaded of our website, making it imperative that this bug is addressed promptly.

I have already consulted with the WP Offload Media support team, and they have advised that the problem likely stems from “Simple Local Avatars” not utilizing the required WordPress hooks essential for URL rewriting. They recommended reaching out to your support team to investigate and find a resolution. You can further read the support ticket for that plugin at the following link.

For your convenience, here are direct links to the WP Offload Media documentation that pertain to this issue:

• Compatibility with Other Plugins
• Local to Provider Hooks
• Filtering URLs in Custom Content

I cannot emphasize enough how critical it is for this bug to be resolved swiftly. Your prompt attention and assistance in addressing this matter would be greatly appreciated.

If you require any additional information or have questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I thank you in advance for your prompt action.

Hi,

is it possible to use it in Woocommerce Checkout page and the user upload a profile pic ? And set it as mandatory ?

thanks

After my update to 8.1. it no longer shows the avatars of my commenters. What could be the reason for this?

We have had Simple Local Avatars installed for a long time. We were at 2.7.5. But a longtime user reported that he was not able to login to DerekandRomaine.com, then go to Chat, which transfers to our chat server running RocketChat. After clicking “Submit Consent” on the “Authorize 3rd Party Application” just before transferring to the chat server, he would see a pop-up error screen, instead of getting logged into RocketChat.

The error screen is from your plugin:

Warning: array_keys() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given to /home/customer/www/derekandromaine.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-local-avatars/includes/class-simple-local-avatars.php on line 348

Warning: array_search() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given to /home/customer/www/derekandromaine.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-local-avatars/includes/class-simple-local-avatars.php on line 349

When I disable the plugin, everything works. So I’m not sure if something was introduced in 2.7.5 that causes this conflict with something else?

Hi,

For some unknown reason, the Avatar image not visible in Users > Profile > Avatar after selecting an avatar from the Media Library.

I’m using WordPress 6.2.2 and PHP 8.1.21 on a Litespeed webserver.
Can you please look at this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

First of all, thank for this plugin. I’m using it for my website where users are able to upload and change their avatar. Recently I’ve noticed my upload folder is flooded with cropped avatars. Here is a screenshot of a single avatar upload creating more than 18 image files: screenshot.

Among selected 20 images, 2 images were created by my theme’s add_image_size. I set 0 for Thumbnail size, Medium size, Large size from Settings>Media.

Please consider lessen cropped image files for an avatar upload on the next release of update.

Thank you.

Hello,

I’m using WP Offload Media on a website where I offload all media to Amazon S3 and delete the local files to save some server storage.

However with your plugin, I even tried to reupload an avatar picture for a WordPress Author user and on the front-end this is the local image URL that is being output and so there are broken images for author.

I contacted WP Offload Media team and they told me this:

The most likely reason for this is “Simple Local Avatars” is not using the WordPress hooks that WP Offload Media requires to rewrite the URLs –
https://deliciousbrains.com/wp-offload-media/doc/developer-guide/#local-to-provider-hooks

You could try and contact the “Simple Local Avatars” authors and see if they could try to implement these wordpress hooks.
Or even use the following filters to rewrite the local URLs into their S3 versions –
https://deliciousbrains.com/wp-offload-media/doc/filtering-urls-in-custom-content/

For my own function internal I used their filter and it worked great.
So maybe you can check if the filter exists and use it before returning the avatar picture URL?

$image_url = wp_get_attachment_url($image_id);
        if ( has_filter('as3cf_filter_post_local_to_provider') ) {
            $image_url = apply_filters( 'as3cf_filter_post_local_to_provider', $image_url );
        }

Can you do something for this please?

Hello, I love this plugin.

But is there a way to remove / hide Gravatar from the user profile page when SLA is activated ?

Right now there are the two options and it’s very confusing for the users.

I checked the box “Local Avatar Only” but Gravatar is still visible in the user profile page…

Thanks for you help

Can I specify a custom directory for avatars only somehow?
