Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Post Avatar

No. Post Avatar does not support image uploads. It simply looks up the list of images that you've defined in the plugin settings. Images will need to be transferred via FTP or a file manager.

1. Make your image folder the same as your WordPress uploads folder to include images from the Media Library in the Post Avatar list. Or, 2. Install a plugin that will let you upload images to a folder other than the WordPress uploads folder.

Post Avatar pre-dates Featured Images by 3 years and while both attach an image to a post, Post Avatar makes use of the same images while Featured Images is more for a unique image. I designed Post Avatar so I can select images right from the Post Editor screen. Also, I prefer to use images with smaller dimensions (usually 250px by 250px and lower). Post Avatar is more efficient when used with a relatively short list of images (anything in the range of more thousands of images and I suggest you stay with Featured Images).

You can make use of the HTML/CSS options in the Post Avatar settings page to make sure that the image's look is in line with your theme. See Configuration options.

No. Post Avatar only displays a single list of images scanned from the folder you specified in the Post Avatar settings screen.

Not by default. If you're comfortable with editing your theme's function.php file you can use the custom filter 'gklpa_allowed_post_types' to enable the Post Avatar functionality on custom post types and pages. Please see the Developer section for more details
