Easy to use and does exactly what I would expect without any unnecessary functionality. It is nice to have a way for updating user profile pictures and not having to use a Graviar or something else.
I hope that this plugin will be maintained going forward as it is greatly appreciated.
Admins who need to add profile photos for users who do not have avatars can do so with this “plain vanilla” plugin, nothing fancy, just plain functional. Scroll down to the bottom of the user settings to see the new option.
