 * .. and this results to broken uploads.
    the plugin doesn’t see the right absolute
   server path to the right directory, the images do upload to the right one, but
   never display. shame.

 * Yep I’m having the same problem. I’ll have a look and see if it can be fixed.

 * I got it working doing the following:
 * Make sure under Users->Avatars that the option User Uploads is unchecked.
    Specify
   a path in the text box next to it. In mine I did: /wp-content/uploads/avatars
   Make sure this directory exists and is writeable by the server. Check the box
   beside “Or, use legacy (v7.3 and lower) $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’] method” below
   the text box.
 * This allowed the plugin to find the correct path.
