How to Add an Author's Avatar Photo in WordPress Tutorial by Sarmad Gardezi

Are you looking to display an author photo on your site? Most WordPress themes allow you to display an author's gravatar for their profile but sometimes you want to have a different photo for the author. In this video we will show you how to easily add an author's photo in WordPress.

Summary of this tutorial:

For this tutorial we will be recommending the WP User Avatar plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user...

With that plugin installed and activated you will go to the new area labeled Avatars.

In this new area you will choose how you want to display the user avatars as well as if you want to disable Gravatars on your site and only wish to use local avatars.

Users with the author role can upload their own profile photo by default and this is changeable to whatever role you desire.

Once you save your changes to the settings you can go to the users page and edit the user you want to add the image to.

On the bottom of the edit user screen there will now be a section for setting an avatar.
