Is there any plugin which allows users to add an avatar.

If not, how users can add a gravatar without me giving them access to the site?

Just chiming in as someone who also would like to know this.

Thanks.

for gravatar they would sign up and just add an avatar .

if the email they signed up with on gravatar is the same as their email they used to sign up on your site then their gravatar will show up on your site.

There is also this plugin to allow people to upload avatars to your site.

Ok, but users have to login into my site. But I ask if there is any plugin which do not require logging into the site, I do not want to give an access to my dashboard. Is there a plugin which allows users to upload an avatar just on the forum (for example, before posting)?

you can disable access to your wp-admin section if you want to registered users

you can use this plugin to do that.

No

maybe enforce a user to upload avatar on registration, but thats it.

or if you really want an anonymous forum, you can just hide all the avatars so they wont have to upload anything and you can just not worry about it.

@Robkk, I like your last suggestion, that is, hide all the avatars and just not worry about it. That’s what I’ll do.

Thanks,

Gravater is the best solution for this.

@martinrice

sorry for the late reply

to disable avatars site-wide

go to the WordPress back-end and then go to settings > discussion

then toward the bottom in the Avatars section uncheck “Show Avatars”
