UPGRADING

MyAvatars is getting better, but to upgrade from 0.1 version you have to follow these steps:

• Disable older versions
• Delete the plugin from your server (take a copy on your PC)
• Upload the MyAvatars folder, without renaming it to your WordPress plugin folder
• Activate the plugin in your panel

If you have already installed version 0.2 you can just overwrite the folder named MyAvatars in your plugins folder.

INSTALLATION

1. Download the file myavatars.zip, extract & copy it in your plugin directory preserving the folder name
2. Activate the plugin in your plugin page

THEME INTEGRATION

Paste the code given inside the comment's loop (just after the "foreach ($comments as $comment) :" instruction) in your comments.php file. You can style the code for a better integration using the dedicated CSS in the plugin folder.

Call the function MyAvatars with a true for Gravatar support. E.g. MyAvatars(true);

Leave blank for default settings

EXAMPLE

if(function_exists("MyAvatars"))
MyAvatars();

CONFIGURATION

From version 0.2 MyAvatars has some settings you can change. You can change settings by editing the php file in the plugin folder. Comments will help you during configuration.
