hi,

I have scoured this forum and the simple press until my eyes are dropping out. But still I cant find a solution to this.

How do I allow users to upload their avatars? I am not considering on installing buddypress.

How can users upload their picture? I have allowed this in permissions and allowed for standard users all the way to moderators.. but I STILL CANT UPLOAD.

Please help!

Sorry this won't be too helpful, but can you be more specific?

I take it you understand the process of uploading an avatar - i.e click the 'Profile' button at the top of the forum, then 'Edit Avatar' from the sub-options on the left. You should then see a file browser and an 'Upload Avatar' option.. Not being condescending but need to cover the basics.

Please elaborate on what exactly the problem is, as 'CANT UPLOAD' could mean many things..

Hi Ike,

Thanks for your reply.

I do understand that clicking on "Profile" and Click "Edit Avatar" then "upload an avatar" will prompt a browse window to select pictures.

Problem is, my website doesnt have the "upload an avatar", as attached in the screen shot

OK thanks,

Well, the obvious reason that you won't see the 'Upload Avatar' option, is if uploading of avatars is disabled.

Please can you go to your WordPress admin, go to Forum > Profiles > Avatars, and make sure that the 2nd option - 'Enable Avatar Uploading' is enabled.

It's at least it's the first thing to check!

Have you actually tried removing the remote one that is already assigned on that particular profile?

I did remove, tried many combinations, made sure the account is a member.. but it just doesnt work. The option to upload the avatar just doesnt show up. I tried so many things now, sigh.

I suggest you make me a new user account so that I can come and take a look...

If that is acceptable to you then please PM credentials to both myself and to 'Mr Papa'. Please include in the PM a link to your site, a link to this thread and a brief reminder of the problem. And one of us will take a look for you.

Hi I think it'll be difficult as I need to ask my partners too.
am I missing out anything? Any plugins or settings that I have missed?
Or maybe what are the steps needed here?
please advice..
