Add WP User Avatar to your own profile edit page

You can add a standalone uploader to any page using the [avatar_upload] shortcode. It is best to use this uploader alone without using other profile fields.

If you are building your own profile edit page with additional fields, the WP User Avatar is automatically added toshow_user_profileandedit_user_profileIf you wish to include the WP User Avatar in your own partial, you can add another hook:
do_action('edit_user_avatar', $current_user);
Then, to add WP User Avatar to that hook and remove it from other hooks outside of the admin panel, you can add this code to your functions.php theme file:
function my_avatar_filter() { // Remove from show_user_profile hook remove_action('show_user_profile', array('wp_user_avatar', 'wpua_action_show_user_profile')); remove_action('show_user_profile', array('wp_user_avatar', 'wpua_media_upload_scripts'));

//Remove the hook from edit_user_profile
remove_action('edit_user_profile', array('wp_user_avatar', 'wpua_action_show_user_profile'));
remove_action('edit_user_profile', array('wp_user_avatar', 'wpua_media_upload_scripts'));

//Add to edit_user_avatar hook
add_action('edit_user_avatar', array('wp_user_avatar', 'wpua_action_show_user_profile'));
add_action('edit_user_avatar', array('wp_user_avatar', 'wpua_media_upload_scripts'));
}

//Only load outside of admin panel
if (!is_admin()) {
add_action('init', 'my_avatar_filter');
}

HTML Wrapper

You can change the HTML wrapper of the WP user avatar section by using the functions wpua_before_avatar and wpua_after_avatar. By default, the avatar code is structured like this:


Avatar






Original Size



Thumbnail

To remove the div container and h3 title you can add the following filter in your functions.php file in your theme:
remove_action('wpua_before_avatar', 'wpua_do_before_avatar'); remove_action('wpua_after_avatar', 'wpua_do_after_avatar');
To add your own wrapper, you can create the following:
function my_before_avatar() { echo '

';

}

add_action('wpua_before_avatar', 'my_before_avatar');

function my_after_avatar() {
echo '

';
}
add_action('wpua_after_avatar', 'my_after_avatar');

This will output:
