Just amazing!!!

Solves a silly problem so well! It allows you to set a custom avatar in WP simply and cleanly. I would give this 10 stars if I could!

Notified every user…

This plugin notified all 150 users from a staging site they we were working on. This is despite choosing the box not to notify new users. I am receiving a slew of angry and confused emails. Thanks for

Works .. Kind Of?

If you have a list of 2-3 users, things work fine. If you scale up to anything larger than that, it times out pretty quickly. At that point, just create them manually.

I hate that we are forced to use this plug-in in Paid Memberships Pro

The external plug-in used to work perfectly, since they force us to use this plugin for Paid Memberships Pro I have had nothing but failures. Constantly exceeds the memory of the server, error 500
