What it does well
Where it falls short
One User Avatar provides a straightforward solution for managing user avatars on WordPress sites, making it a practical choice for enhancing user profiles.
One Designs's own description of One User Avatar, lightly tidied.
WordPress currently only allows you to use custom avatars that are uploaded through Gravatar. One User Avatar enables you to use any photo uploaded into your Media Library as an avatar. This means you use the same uploader and library as your posts. No extra folders or image editing functions are necessary. This plugin is a fork of WP User Avatar v2.2.16.
One User Avatar also lets you:
[avatar_upload] shortcode to add a standalone uploader to a front page or widget. This uploader is only visible to logged-in users.[avatar] shortcode in your posts. These shortcodes will work with any theme, whether it has avatar support or not.One User Avatar

You can use the [avatar_upload] shortcode to add a standalone uploader to any page. It’s best to use this uploader by itself and without other profile fields.
If you’re building your own profile edit page with other fields, One User Avatar is automatically added to the show_user_profile and edit_user_profile hooks. If you’d rather have One User Avatar in its own section, you could add another hook:
do_action( 'edit_user_avatar', $current_user );
Then, to add One User Avatar to that hook and remove it from the other hooks outside of the administration panel, you would add this code to the functions.php file of your theme:
function my_avatar_filter() {
// Remove from show_user_profile hook
remove_action( 'show_user_profile', array( 'wp_user_avatar', 'wpua_action_show_user_profile' ) );
remove_action( 'show_user_profile', array( 'wp_user_avatar', 'wpua_media_upload_scripts' ) );
// Remove from edit_user_profile hook
remove_action( 'edit_user_profile', array( 'wp_user_avatar', 'wpua_action_show_user_profile' ) );
remove_action( 'edit_user_profile', array( 'wp_user_avatar', 'wpua_media_upload_scripts' ) );
// Add to edit_user_avatar hook
add_action( 'edit_user_avatar', array( 'wp_user_avatar', 'wpua_action_show_user_profile' ) );
add_action( 'edit_user_avatar', array( 'wp_user_avatar', 'wpua_media_upload_scripts' ) );
}
// Loads only outside of administration panel
if ( ! is_admin() ) {
add_action( 'init','my_avatar_filter' );
}
