Profile Pic
This plugin allows authors to add a picture to their profile and helps automate the process of displaying author profiles
Features:
- Automatic setup – no template/code modification needed
- Widget to display profile in the side bar – fully configurable
- Easy profile display with shortcodes – within a page or post simply add [printprofile] to display your author profile and picture, or [printprofilepic] to display your profile picture
- Optional template override setting will make author links go to the author’s profile
- Work in tandem with Krischan Jodies’ Get Recent Comments plugin (ie. displays your profile pic next to your comments)
- For multi-author blogs, administrators can edit (read: moderate) other authors’ pictures
- For those old-school WordPress folks, the plugin supports a full set of template tags to enable template integration
Template Tags
(Note that the plug still supports legacy v.1 tags as well)
Template Tag 1:
Get Author Image Tag – makes a pretty <img> tag for author’s picture.

EXAMPLE: Code:
<?php
profilepic_internal_imagetag($authid, 'align=left');

<img src="http://blog.com/wp-content/uploads/authors/default.jpg" width=200 height=199 align=left id="authorpic" />
