Add Local Avatar 9.0 WordPress 3.0.3

  • Like many have notice, the paths to the upload directory could be very problematic.
    For the version 9.0 of Add Local Avatar, this is what you have to do so that the plugin start working correctly:

    1 – Install the Plugin
    2 – Create the folder named avatar in your public_html
    3 – While configuring the plugin, where it says “User uploads:” use the path: /avatars
    4 – Use notepad++ (or other file editor) to edit avatars.php file from the plugin
    5 – Head to the line 791 and you should see the following:
    $root = $this->avatar_root();
    6 – Comment that line like this:
    //$root = $this->avatar_root();
    7 – In the next line, write the following:
    $root = ‘/home/your/public_html/’;
    where the work your should be replaced by the name of your folder in the hosting service. Usually, it’s the same as your login username to enter de cpanel.
    8 – upload to the plugin directory
    9 – WORKING ??

    Thanks Decadence for the light up in the other topic. I just made a step by step instruction updated for the v9.0 of the plugin.

    It didn’t happened to me, so i can’t help much ??

    Meanwhile, today i was setting up another website when i remember to search the plugin repository to see if anyone had come up with another plugin. And seems like positive: use Simple Local Avatars instead, just activated and it’s working ??

    Boom!!! great call poi3, worked like a charm, now my users can upload their own avatars. Here is how i did it.

    WordPress 3.0.4
    Add Local Avatar v9.0
    Godaddy shared hosting

    go to line 791 find $root = $this->avatar_root();

    replace with $root = '/home/content/a/m/a/sharedhostingname/html/domainname/'

    change “sharedhostingname” with your godaddy shared account hosting name and “domainname” to the domain name you have wordpress on.

    Make sure you created a new folder and it is ready to go in the location of your choice and Set Permissions to 777 (i created a folder in /wp-content/uploads/avatars/)

    Go back to avatar admin panel under “User Uploads” Check the box and enter the path used — which i chose as /wp-content/uploads/avatars/

    Scroll down click “update avatar actions”

    Go try and upload an image now!

    Create an image under 10k. Under Users on your left side bar admin panel, click edit for one of your users and give it a try. Works like a charm and your off and running!

    At least i was. Good Luck!
