Allow Contributors to Upload Media
Lets users who can write posts but not upload files (the Contributor role) add images to their drafts. The role itself is not changed in the database.
Snippet Library
Users snippets for WordPress
Snippets for user accounts, roles and profiles: extra profile fields, new columns in the users list, last-login tracking and tighter control of what each role can do. Handy for membership sites, client sites and teams with many authors.
BuddyPress: Don't Load Gravatar for Member Avatars
Stops BuddyPress from requesting Gravatar images for members without an uploaded photo and uses the local mystery-person image instead, for privacy and speed.
BuddyPress: Turn Off Cover Images
Disables cover image uploads for member profiles and groups, keeping profiles simple and saving storage.
Initials Avatars Instead of Gravatar
Replaces Gravatar images with colored circles showing each person's initials, generated locally, so no visitor data is sent to Gravatar.
Use the Person's Name as Avatar Alt Text
Fills the empty alt attribute of avatars with the display name of the user or commenter, so accessibility checkers stop reporting images without alt text.
