Issue with uploading avatar from frontend

I am having this same issue. Its been 2 weeks now. Please help. ??

Hi,
for set an image to the user avatar simply do this:
delete_metadata(‘post’, null, ‘_wp_attachment_wp_user_avatar’, $user_id, true);

update_user_meta($user_id, ‘_wp_attachment_wp_user_avatar’, $attach_id);

update_user_meta($user_id, $wpdb->get_blog_prefix($blog_id) . ‘user_avatar’, $attach_id);

For create an attachment:
$upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();

$wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype(basename($file), null);

$attachment = array(
‘guid’ => $upload_dir[‘url’] . ‘/’ . basename($file),
‘post_mime_type’ => $wp_filetype[‘type’],
‘post_title’ => preg_replace(‘/\.[^.]+$/’, ”, basename($file)),
‘post_content’ => ”,
‘post_status’ => ‘inherit’
);

$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment($attachment, $file);
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata($attach_id, $file);

wp_update_attachment_metadata($attach_id, $attach_data);

Hi there! I had the same question when I came across this topic…I figured it out…

I created a page and placed:
[avatar_upload]

This page will automatically have the upload for the frontend…
You’ll need to go to setting on the backend to allow users to be able to utilize this page and for this shortcode to show up for them.

Admin>Advatars>Settings>

then select: Allow Contributors & Subscribers to upload avatars

Clear your cache and try it out. It should show up frontend for all you users. Hope this helps!
