The simplest avatar plugin that just gets it done without all the bloat, upselling,
or privacy issues.

Allow users of your site to set custom profile pics from the local media library.

Set a profile pic under: _Users > Profile > Profile Picture > Select Profile Pic_

Automatic migration for: Simple Local Avatars, WP User Avatar, WP User Avatars, 
One User Avatar, User Profile Picture, and Avatar Manager. If you previously used
any of these plugins, the avatar image links for users who set a custom pic will
automatically migrate over in the background when you activate Local Profile Pics.

**WARNING ABOUT MIGRATION**: Some plugins delete their avatar images when the plugin
itself is deleted. It’s safe to _deactivate_ your old plugin from the admin, but
don’t _delete_ it from there. Instead, delete its folder via FTP or your host’s 
file manager, which skips the cleanup process.

 * From your WordPress Admin, navigate to: _Plugins > Add New_
 * Search for: “Profile Pics”
