 * I run a membership site using WP 2.x and I’d like to be able to allow each registered
   user to upload a photo of themselves. Note: I don’t want to use Avartars.
 * I’ve searched high and low for a solution that would enable me to add an Upload
   facility to the user profile page. There appear to be quite a few WP image plugins
   out there – but none of them provide this exact functionality.
 * There are those like the excellent Userextra/Usermeta by James Ponder that extend
   WP’s profile (but have no image facility), and many image plugins that make it
   easy to display previously uploaded images in posts/pages etc., BUT crucially
   I can’t find one that would enable a user to upload an image from the admin profile
   menus.
 * Extended requirements for such a function would include:
 * – the ability to control the size of the uploaded images
    – the ability to control
   the location – the ability to control the image name
 * My PHP coding is very basic so I can’t code it myself…
 * During my searches I’ve seen the following – but these have also led to a dead
   end:

 * You know, there’s a plugin by c2c that addes image support for the authors. I
   bet with a decent amount of development you could do modify that to work with
   users.

 * I understand how it should work, but I’m just a CSS / XHMTL guy. not really a
   coder.

 * Hi, i needed the same sort of thing, i must have spent about 2 days looking for
   a plugin to do this, it appears user specific plugins are a little short on the
   ground, in the end i decided to just create my own, take a look at [http://www.normalpeoplehate.me.uk](http://www.normalpeoplehate.me.uk)
   click on Users from page nav, then click on View next to a user (try my one) 
   is this somthing similar to what you want? users upload images themselves after
   they log in, they can also delete pics and set a pic as the main one (which then
   shows up in the box), if it is what your after im sure i could help you implement
   it, its not a public plugin and i have no real plans to make it public, its a
   bit scrappy, but it works.

   and I dun really know coding? >.<

   if I had to :p

   when I check everything it’s is right, still not working, frustrating really,
   help plz.
