@robert I'm sorry Robert, I did not understand what you meant about front-end. I had a search online and understand now. I can change it by going through my profile on the main website but not through the admin side (what I was trying to do). Thank you for your help and sorry I did not understand at first.

@pudzpud,

I've already explained twice that the "Avatar Uploading" feature only exists on the front-end, in your account editing page. You're looking to something that doesn't exist. There is no such feature in the Dashboard > Users > Profile page.

https://wpforo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wpForo-Profile-Avatar.png

The avatar managing fields in Dashboard > Users > Profile don't have any relation to wpForo plugin and wpForo Avatar Settings, so you'll not see "Avatar Uploading" field in that page, the only option is the Gravatar, this is the WordPress option not the wpForo.

@verek Thanks, have now checked that setting and it is ticked by default. Is there anywhere else I should check to allow avatars? Have attached screenshot showing option already ticked on. Cheers

There are further options to set in Dashbaord/wpforo/usergroups/whatever you default is for registered members - "Front - Can upload avatar"

Hi, I cannot change my or any other memebrs avatar - the only option it gives me is to use gravatar which I dont want to force my mmebers to use. On my old smf forum they could upload their own avatar and this help forum gives that option too - I just cannot get it to offer anything apart from gravatar on my own forum

Screenshot attached shows only option in my or any members profiule is to use gravatar or nothing - you cannot upload your own avatar, but settings on WP and WPforo settings are both ticked to allow your own avatars - I must be missing a setting somewhere.

@pudzpud,

There are no other options in dashboard. wpForo only adds the avatar uploading option in user's account page on front-end, wpForo doesn't have any input in the dashboard avatar settings. You should go to any user account page and change their avatar if you want.

@robert sorry I should have explained better - the problem is on the forum I have. I am changing all the settings but only get the gravatar option. When I click your link above it shows options to add my own avatar which would be ideal for my forum - I just cannot work out the settings to do allow this. Thanks

@pudzpud,

All profile fields and settings are located in your account page on front-end not in dashboard, so please go to your account page and use the avatar uploading options. Here is your account page: https://wpforo.com/participant/pudzpud/account/
