How did my users upload a profile photo in Wordpress?

How would a user in my Wordpress site upload a user photo if they don't have access to the backend, or if there is no front-end upload mechanism?

I suddenly saw some of my users with pictures in the admin backend user list. How did they do that?

By default, WordPress uses gravatar service to display user’s profile picture. Users profile picture is based on your email address. If users do not have a gravatar account then your profile picture will be replaced with a default image placeholder which is called “Mystery Man”. this is how user can set their gravatar picture.

  • Visit Gravatar website.
  • Sign in to Gravatar with your WordPress.com account. If you don’t have a WordPress.com account then you need to create one.
  • Upload your avatar (profile picture).
