Why doesn't this plugin use the media library to select the author image?
-
It would make for a better, more consistent user experience if you were to simply implement the use of the default WordPress media library to select the author image.
I’m not sure why you haven’t used this functionality, but I would highly recommend it.
What I’m referring to here is as such – on the ‘edit profile’ page of the WordPress dashboard, the user is currently made to click on the ‘choose file’ button and select a file directly from their computer.
What if the user wants to select a file that is already in the media library? The current functionality of this plugin does not make this possible.
In fact, the plugin makes absolutely no reference to the media library at all.
This is a flaw with the Author Image plugin that could cause confusion for non techy users.
As developers we should always look to implement a consistent & seamless as possible user experience, especially in the WordPress dashboard (which non techy users oftentimes already struggle to use), which this plugin completely overlooks.
