## Beschreibung

Fügt den Benutzerprofilen ein Avatar-Upload-Feld hinzu, wenn der aktuelle Benutzer
über Medienberechtigungen verfügt. Erzeugt die gewünschten Größen auf Anfrage, genau
wie Gravatar! Einfach und leicht.

Bearbeite einfach ein Benutzerprofil und scrolle zum neuen Feld „Avatar“. Das Plugin
kümmert sich um das Zuschneiden und die Größenanpassung!

 1. Stores avatars in the „uploads“ folder where all of your other media is kept.
 2. Has a simple, native interface.
 3. Fully supports Gravatar and default avatars if no local avatar is set for the user–
    but also allows you turn off Gravatar.
 4. Erzeugt bei Bedarf die gewünschte Avatargröße (und speichert die neue Größe aus
    Effizienzgründen), so dass sie gut aussieht, genau wie Gravatar!
 5. Lets you decide whether lower privilege users (subscribers, contributors) can upload
    their own avatar.
 6. Enables rating of local avatars, just like Gravatar.

### Support Level

Simple Local Avatars‘ support level is marked as `stable`. 10up is not planning 
to develop any new features for this, but will still respond to bug reports and 
security concerns. We welcome PRs, but any that include new features should be small
and easy to integrate and should not include breaking changes. We otherwise intend
to keep this tested up to the most recent version of WordPress.

## Screenshots

## Installation

 1. Einfache Installation über das WordPress-Plugin-Bedienfeld oder manuelles Herunterladen
    des Plugins und Hochladen des extrahierten Ordners in das Verzeichnis `/wp-content/
    plugins/`.
 2. Aktiviere das Plugin in WordPress über das Menü „Plugins“
 3. Wenn Du möchtest, dass nur Benutzer mit Datei-Upload-Berechtigung Avatare hochladen
    können, aktiviere die entsprechende Option unter Einstellungen > Diskussion
 4. Starte das Hochladen von Avataren, durch bearbeiten der Benutzerprofile!

Verwende Avatare in deinem Theme mithilfe der eingebauten `get_avatar()` Funktion
von WordPress: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_avatar](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_avatar)

You can also use `get_simple_local_avatar()` (with the same arguments) to retrieve
local avatars a bit faster, but this will make your theme dependent on this plug-
in.

## FAQ

### Does Simple Local Avatars collect personal data of website visitors?

No. Simple Local Avatars neither collects, stores, nor sends any PII data of visitors
or avatar users on the host site or to 10up or other services.

Simple Local Avatars has been the perfect solution for managing avatars on my WordPress
site. I love how easy it is to let users upload their own images without relying
on external services. The installation process is quick, and the integration with
my site has been seamless. What I appreciate the most is how easy it is to customize
avatars, all managed directly from the user panel, with no hassle. Plus, it doesn’t
rely on external platforms, giving me more control over avatar privacy and load 
times. If you’re looking for a simple, fast, and reliable solution to manage local
avatars, this plugin is perfect. Highly recommended! —————————————————————- Spanish

sus propias imágenes sin necesidad de servicios externos. El proceso de instalación
es rápido y la integración con mi sitio ha sido perfecta. Lo que más me gusta es
lo fácil que es personalizar los avatares, todo se maneja directamente desde el 
panel de usuario, sin complicaciones. Además, no depende de plataformas externas,
lo cual me da más control sobre la privacidad y la carga de los avatares. Si estás

SIMPLE solution to the GDPR issue with WordPress Gravatars. I usually set up a default
avatar for guests and allow users to use their own. Keep it up!

No issues here. Works fine, just make sure to have Avatars on in the Setting > Discussion.
