Modify Profile

I started to create somewhat of a user system in the front end, and I’ve got a couple of questions here:
1- How can I include the avatar in the Modify Profile window?
2- Is there a built-in shortcode to obtain the current user level/capability?

Hi there. Thanks for your inquiry.

1- How can I include the avatar in the Modify Profile window?

You can use the WordPress template tag: get_avatar()

2- Is there a built-in shortcode to obtain the current user level/capability?

I recommend this Codex document for current_user_is()

If you want to pull a Level # itself, for a particular User, you could also do this.

<?php
	$user_id = 123;
	$user = new WP_User($user_id);
	$user_s2_member_level = c_ws_plugin__s2member_user_access::user_access_level($user);
?>

thanks for the reply, but I also want to know how can I include the avatar in the profile and give an option to modify it?

Hi Angela,

s2Member does not include a feature for modifying the avatar. The get_avatar() function that Jason pointed you to is a WordPress function.

If you want to allow users to modify their avatar, you’ll need create that customization yourself or find a 3rd party plugin that does that for you.
