## Description

Users can set his profile picture from admin end and as well as Front End.

Admin End it would come automatically based on the user role, who has `upload_files`
capability, otherwise we need to assign capability to them.

In Front End when we use `<?php do_action('edit_user_profile',$current_user); ?>`
on edit profile section, it would be placed on additonal user profile fields.

*Future Updates: Display current user images alone, short code and migrate withsocial
media profile pictures.

A good idea to handle user images within a wordpress site without having to painfully
setup a Gravatar Profile. Expecting update to the current version with Image Priviliges
to view & select only user’s own uploads in Media library. Keep Updating, Keep Coding![
