Suleiman: I made a small adjustment and reuploaded the plugin - try downloading/installing it now. I’ve got the older version running on two sites now, so this must be a pretty minor error. I’m hoping I squashed it. Let me know!
Hannah, thank you for giving the details about your plugin. I haven’t done php for years so the details help orient me.
Marjorie: I’m glad the instructions were helpful. 
I tried to provide as much detail as possible… its not a one click install plugin, easy to get a bit lost. Let me know if you run into any problems.
Hei! This is a perfekt plugin! Thank you! But i have one question: Can i use the Profil-pic like a gravater i comments? If yes, what is the code.
Thank you a lot!
Markus
that’s a good idea. I’ll work on it today.
okay, avatar option has been added. go ahead and redownload the plugin, replace the old profile-picture.php with the new, and then edit your theme’s comments.php useing the example code above to add avatars to comments (code already is use on these comments, in conjunction with the standard gravitars plugin)
Hei Hannah,
that´s so nice! Thank you very very much. After a wordpress-day have jeg with your help en sucess. Thank you! It works and i´m happy. Now can i sleep

I am trying to get this working with an older (1.5.x) version of wordpress and so far everything is showing up in the backend except for the upload picture part. Do you know what i would have to change in order to hack it in?
Thanks in advance.
Shane: my plugin uses the profile_update hook to add the upload form to the user profile editing page. to my knowlege, there is no 1.5 equiv. hook. You could hack the form code into the profile editing core page without too much pain, but that kinda goes against WP principles.
Its true it would be ugly, but could you maybe email me what section of code I would have to paste and maybe what file to paste it into? I would be very grateful
[...] Hannah over at geekgrl has helped me integrate a wonderful author picture plugin for wordpress author profiles check it out. As some of you might have noticed, you can on access author profiles by clicking on there names under the permalink to each post. [...]
I also would like to know where exactly i need merge that code.
Genau: I’m talking with Shane to publish a 1.5 package. We’ll keep you posted…
Hannah -
FYI we had to add a section of file-permission code (snipped from from wp-includes/post.php) to work around an issue on our server and ensure that the upload isn’t executable. We placed this right after your move_uploaded_file call and worked like a charm:
// Set correct file permissions
$stat = @ stat(dirname($file_path));
$perms = $stat['mode'] & 0007777;
$perms = $perms & 0000666;
@ chmod($file_path, $perms);
Cheers –

Hi Hannah,
I’m unclear if I’m able to set the dimensions of the profile photos. It looks like it in your template tag 1, but I just can’t seem to work it out.
Beautiful plugin in any case.

Stan: Thanks for the code. this issue came up with another user and we resolved it with a similar bit of modification. I’ll go ahead and include it with the next release.
Sean: Template tag 1 is fingering width and height based on the size of the uploaded image. The script does not resize the pic (this functionality may be added later). (go slugs!)
Hei hannah,
i have en new question: I use the Plugin Get Recent Comments and i will use “your” Profil pics (like in the comments). How can i do this? Have you any idea?
Thank´s for your work!

Just wanted to test this out…
Hannah,
I’m trying to use your plugin in an installation of WPMU, the same software that powers Wordpress.com.
I thought the plugin would hiccup at uploading files to the directory /uploads/authors/ but it does not in fact have any diffculty doing so–which is great news!
The problem comes when trying to display the images associated with an author.
For example, on the blog farah.hadithuna.com, I was able to upload a profile picture for farah, who has a WPMU blog_id of “9.”
Your plugin saved her picture as “9.jpg” in the wp-content/uploads/authors/ directory, however if you go to her author page, the default image is displayed: http://farah.hadithuna.com/authors/
Do you have any idea what might be causing this kind of hiccup?
I’m using the author_image_tag to display the image on the front page next to the user’s posts but I cannot seem to get those pictures to update when the user chooses a new avatar. It updates fine when I use the author_gravatar_tag in the comments, just not when I put it for the posts. I am using Wordpress 2.1 and any help would be really appreciated!
I can’t see the picture I keep trying to upload in my profile. I even tried using ftp to move my picture in the suggested “authors” folder and it doesn’t show
Help appreciated
Very Cool! I’m going to try it! 
Hi Hannah,
thanx for the great plugin… It’s just what i needed…
But, i found some flaws, at least i think so…
You did the extension check in java script, but you didn’t do it in php, so the file gets uploaded anyway… It’s just not shown as image in the blog…
Image on author profile page wasn’t resized, so i added defualt image width. Also I added file size check.
Both of them you can set in the admin area…
If you want I can send altered plugin, so you can look at it, maybe change it, and then release ver0.2… 
suleiman, Author Template Code should add after , this should be work.
suleiman, Author Template Code should add after the_post() in author template, this should be work.
Sorry to add a second comment…code I pasted in got removed…hope this works.

Yeah I fixed the problem I wasn’t able to show pics in the comments loop but i installed a gravatar plugin and it just decided to work all of a sudden. Im guessing it was a missing database table of some sort.
hello Hannah,
Thanks for update
Love this plugin so far. I got it working perfectly in the comments loop and on the author template but is there a way to show the picture next to posts, to show the author on pages like the index where you have several posts from different authors? When I try I just get the default pic no matter what.
On a different note, i think it would be cool to add something like this is the backend:

[...] I changed the profile picture plugin by Hannah Gray aka Geekgrl in such a way that users with admin rights now can change profile pictures for other users. Until now I haven’t heard back from Hannah and my comments on her blog did not seem to get through. So I decided to upload my customized version here and allow other people to use it as well. Check the instructions. [...]

Hi,
I started using this plugin some days ago.
It’s very nice!
But I had a “small” problem.
I’m using Italian localization of Wordpress and before be able to use Profile Pics I had to change all the “_e” in the source code with “echo”, otherwise Wordpress try to translate the words/”source code” and of course it does a lot of mistakes.

One issue I’ve always had with wordpress 2.5+ when the introduced gavatars, is the authors gavatar isn’t global, so I can’t post my gravatar to the left of every title of each blog entry. would a plugin like this fix this issue?
