I know the user profile image comes from their gravatar, but I want to make this as simple for users as possible to have a complete listing in one go.

Many of my users are not tech minded and so I need to enable the registration and listing information as easy as possible for them. I’m mostly there, however in their listing their profile picture is blank if they don’t already have a gravatar image. I don’t want to have to send them separate instructions on how to upload an image through gravatar.

Ideally, I’d like a “profile image” section in the listing registration form where they can select a profile image that will be shown… Which I’ve read isn’t possible without complicated coding (beyond me)

So, what are my options to make this as simple as possible? Are there any plugins that would easily set a profile picture on their account?

What you are describing is dependant on your theme and plugins you are using, so if you can post your URL and WP admin details in a private reply, then we can have a better look if there is anything we can suggest. Thanks

UsersWP will help with this, however the image upload tool won’t be added to the registration form. (it never is with any plugin that I know to keep registration procedure as quick as possible)

The uploader would be in the account form or the profile page.

Another solution would be to hide that avatar…

Hope this helps,

Thanks

Hiding it may be an easier solution… How would I do that?

with this css:
```
.sd .author-avatar {
    display: none;
}
```

I decided to hide the profile image altogether as well as the profile name and the “edit” button below to keep the listing looking cleaner

I used:

.sd-detail-author {
display: none;
}

Which hid the lot
