How to Add an Author’s Photo in WordPress

WordPress has many useful plugins to increase author and user interaction. Having a good author profile page is one of them. One of the most important part of the author page is author’s profile photo, so users can associate a picture with them. User Photo plugin allows a user to associate a profile photo with their account through their “Your Profile” page. Admins may add a user profile photo by accessing the “Edit User” page. Uploaded images are resized to fit the dimensions specified on the options page. A thumbnail image correspondingly is also generated. User photos may be displayed within a post or a comment to help identify the author. To see the documentations on how to implement this plugin, see the WordPress Plugin page.

Nope. We haven't really looked into bbPress yet.

Hi,

I have about 200 jpeg photossaved, and I would like to put them in the userphoto folder and have them become that person's photo, and the user can come back and change it if they wish. I tested this out by placing a photo admin.jpeg in the folder, but it did not take effect. do you know how I can do a mass upload of photos for userphoto?

Thanks,

Aaron

You can't just FTP stuff because the value is also stored in the database. It is better to ask all your editors to add the pictures by themselves.
