Would be useful – without all the errors…
by WPVoteUser·1 year ago
Unfortunately, all the issues about the existing errors and even the review from July 2024 does not seems to motivate the plugin author to fix them. Is he/she still around or is this one of the abandoned plugins?
The plugin itself would show a picture for the logged in blog user. But with all the existing errors in the dashboard its hard not to remove this plugin.

Does what it describes!
Could not crop image nor save avatar.
by aparentdesign·11 years ago
After install, I noticed the addition of my gravatar in my profile, just kind of floating around in the color settings area. I clicked update, browsed to my new picture, and clicked upload. The screen that came up had this error, and a blank area for cropping the picture:
Warning: basename() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given in D:\pathtomywebsite\wp-content\plugins\user-avatar\user-avatar.php on line 281
So I’ll be deleting this plugin.
