Thanks for your reply! Yeah, the fallback cache does not really give a problem – but I wonder if the option needs to be autoloaded from wp_options table for every request in WordPress – should it?
Well, I can totally feel you, Marcus. While ProfilePress may be a nice package, this is one of the worst takeovers I have seen. The plugin updating system should be reliable, updating should not completely makeover a plugin.
Noteworthy to mention is that the updated plugin even breaks the proper functioning of a lot of other plugins, such as Events Calendar. Someone should continue developing the original, real user avatar plugin (aka ‘real wp user avatar’).
