Hello!

Currently the plugin is restricted to only allow users who are authorized to upload files make this kind of change. If you would like to have a Subscriber role be able to do this on your site, you can add that capability to the Subscriber user role and this should fix that issue.

Here is an example code:

<?php
function add_theme_caps() {
    // gets the subscriber role
    $role = get_role( 'subscriber' );

    // would allow the subscriber role to upload photos for the current theme
    $role->add_cap( 'upload_files' );
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'add_theme_caps');
?>

This would also give the user access to the Media and Media -> Add New options in the WP admin area so you’ll want to take action to hide this from those users so they cannot upload random images to your site.

Here is how the codex explains it:

Hope this helps.

Thank You for trying the plugin.

Hello,

Hopefully I can help you. Can you provide me with a bit more information in terms of where you’re attempting to have this photo show up. Is it on the single.php template where the author is this new person or is it outside of a single template or loop?

Do you have direct access to edit the template files?

Hello Lyelle,
Yes, we’re still actively working on the project when we have time. That is a planned feature at the top of the list for a future release. Thanks for your interest.

Regards.

Hello iamjoshing,
This should be working without the user posting on your blog. The function is built to retrieve the photo based on a user ID. If you need a specific user’s photo, you can pass their ID number into the get_cupp_meta() function inside or outside the loop.

and example would be:
$user_id_without_posts = 14;
$image_url = get_cupp_meta($user_id_without_posts, ‘thumbnail’);

I hope this helps.

This should be fixed now in version 0.2.5. Thanks for finding that.

Cheers

Hello Magda,
Sorry for the late response. The plugin checks for the user capability upload_files. By default, the minimum user role needed to do this is Author. If you with to add this capability to a lesser role you can follow the documentation here to increase the capabilities of that role. http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Function_Reference/add_cap

Thanks for trying the plugin.

Same thing just happened to me on two separate sites using two different themes on 3.8. Both are on the same hosting account.

Tried deactivating all plugins and changing the theme to twenty-fourteen, -thirteen, and -twelve and still no admin menu.

Had to reinstall WP from the admin side(wp-admin/update-core.php) and the problem was fixed.

We’re seeing the same issue with this plugin. Is this on the official bug list yet?
