WordPress gravatar feature is the worst. Glad there’s a solution
This is the only plugin that recognizes all the themes that I’ve used it with. Thank you!
does the job perfectly well !
THANK YOU
Very nice plugin and excellent tech support. reported minor matters and resolved immediately. Great team!!
Simple plugin that does what it’s supposed to. We use it on economy4mankind.org because we want individual avatars and not the single allround avatar of Gravatar. Using it means there is just another checkbox in the user profile administration where you can choose any image you want as your avatar for our website. Thanks for the great plugin!
