FAQ
Does it replace Gravatar?
No. If a user doesn’t upload their own image, WordPress still uses Gravatar by default.
What image types can be uploaded?
Any format WordPress supports, including JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP. SmartCrop automatically converts and optimizes the upload to JPEG for performance.
Can I style it differently?
Yes. You can override templates in your theme or use the
classesattribute for custom styles.Is it secure?
Yes. Uploads use WordPress’s built-in media handling, nonces, and capability checks. Old avatars are safely removed to save space.
