Integrate WP User Avatar with WP-Members User Profile

Chad Butler · Apr 4, 2016 ·

WP User Avatar is a popular choice for allowing users to upload and use a custom avatar instead of gravatar that is integrated in WordPress. This post describes a nicely integrated process for a user to update their avatar on the WP-Members user profile screen.

The snippet can be used “cut-and-paste” but also has some elements that could be customized.
