 * This is quite a neat plugin for uploading a user pic. But there are a couple 
   of warnings that may disturb something in your site! One of these warnings is:
 * > Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version
   > 2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and
   > capabilities instead. in /xyz/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2712
 * The solution is to use `current_user_can()` instead. For example:
    The line: `
   $current_user->has_cap('edit_users')` is deprecated Instead use: `current_user_can('
   edit_users')`
 * You can directly change the plugin file, but it is not recommended as a plugin
   update might overwrite your changes (if the authors don’t implement this!)
 * AUTHORS, please change this! 😉
 * Hope this helps!
