The plugin stores the profile picture as an attachment ID in user meta:

• Meta Key: simple_user_profile_picture
• Value: WordPress attachment ID (integer)

Get a user's profile picture URL:

$user_id = 1;
$attachment_id = get_user_meta($user_id, 'simple_user_profile_picture', true);
if ($attachment_id) {
    $image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_url($attachment_id, 'thumbnail');
    echo $image_url;
}

The plugin automatically filters:

• get_avatar_url - Returns custom avatar URL
• get_avatar - Returns custom avatar HTML
