@michaing thank you for reaching out. At first glance, this error does not seem to be related to the most recent version v2.7.2 of Simple Local Avatars. However, I would love to help you as much as I can.

I have checked with PHP 8 and I have not seen that error. I am still checking in other WordPress instances. Meanwhile, can you please check to see if the same error occurs in another site with v2.7.2?

@worldsdream thanks for reaching out. Can you please upgrade to the latest version? Right now there are only 2 options: 1. Default Crop and 2. Crop image.

Also, the size of the avatar depends on how it is loaded on the front side. It will load according to the size requested.

Hi @luquerias thanks for the report.

Please note that it is already reported and fixed. It will come out soon with the next release.

Hi @apatsidis123,

Thank you for reaching out! I have checked and found that the EDUBOX avatar in the second comment is actually a gravatar.

Can you please share more details? How the avatar images are auto-generated? Is there any specific plugin that generates it? I believe this is something of a conflict between the two plugins.

@hithunters thank you for reaching out.

1. We should never change anything in the core files. You mentioned that you have changed the default size in the pluggable.php file, this is highly not recommended. It is because when WordPress will release a new update, all of its core files including the pluggable.php will be overwritten and your changes will be wiped out.

2. Instead of changing the default avatar, you should use the following code in the file from where the avatars are loading on the site. Please read this for more information.

<?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 32 ); ?>

3. I have checked the site you mentioned and the avatar loading at the bottom of the blog post is not loading from the Simple Local Avatar, it is coming from the Gravatar. This means that you might not have set an avatar using the plugin’s (Simple Local Avatar’s) setting. Please go to the WordPress Back end > Users > Edit a user > Select an avatar > Save User.

@redhat894 thank you for reaching out.

I have tested and by sending media_id value in the simple_local_avatar object, I was able to update the Avatar image. Can you please share how you are sending the request?

@hellowpexperts thanks for reaching out. I have re-checked and confirmed the avatars are not forced cropped to 200×200 anymore. Please check your theme’s code, it seems like the size is passed hard coded in your theme.

For example:
get_avatar( $id_or_email, 200 ) where the second parameter is a size.

Hi @belkcar and @sakissakis, thanks for reaching out. We are working on the resolution. We will update once the fix is applied and released.

Hi @theitz, thanks for reaching out. Fortunately, this is already handled in the recent release 2.5.0. Please update the plugin to 2.5.0 and check again.

Hi @iamkingsleyf, Thanks for reaching out.

No, the Publisher Media Kit plugin does not fetch anything from Google Analytics, it simply provides a quick and easy option for small to medium sized publishers to digitize their media kit. However, you can add google analytics numbers statically in the PMK blocks.

@nextstepdigital thanks for the report. I have tried the following steps and still, the featured image is set/replaced without any issues.

• Used Simple Local Avatar v2.4.0, WordPress v6.0 and BuddyPress v10.3.0.
• Added a new post and set a feature image.
• The featured image was set and loaded at FE successfully.
• Replaced the feature image with a new one.
• The new featured image was also set and loaded at FE successfully.

If you are still able to reproduce the issue. Please open a new issue ticket at https://github.com/10up/simple-local-avatars with the steps to reproduce the issue. (Video/Screenshot would be helpful)

Hi @stefansbt,

Thanks for reaching out. I have tested the latest release 2.4.0 with new and old WordPress version setups and the “Featured Image” for a post is set without any issues.

Can you please let us know in which WordPress version and Post Type you are facing this issue? Also, check again by disabling/enabling other plugins, or please share if there are any console warnings/errors you see.

@kaskas thanks for the report, the fix is made here and will be released soon.
@austyfrosty agree, thanks for the suggestion.

@mkmllr Thanks for the suggestion. We’ve already received this request and we’ve opened an issue on Github to track this.

@osheta, thank you for reaching out!

Currently, we do not allow hiding ratings on the edit profile screen. We may introduce a filter in the future though.

For now, you can simply use the following CSS in your admin CSS file to hide the ratings.

.ratings-row {display: none;}

Please note this will just hide the rating row and all uploaded avatars will be considered as G — Suitable for all audiences.
