I was trying to add an image field to the woocommerce account settings section so that users could upload their avatars.

With a bit of research here on stack I came across this question that worked and gave the solution to my problem: Add a profile picture (file upload) on My account > edit account in WooCommerce

However, other questions have arisen and I have thought about extending the question to try to improve the final result as I believe it is a very common situation.

So I hope someone can answer this.

  1. Will the uploaded image not appear for the post comments section or woocommerce product reviews? Do we need to change the meta image for this? It would be very useful to be able to view the uploaded image anywhere on the site, including the comments and reviews section.

  2. If the user wants to remove the image and go back to the default how can he do it? There is no remove image button. Is there a way to insert a button and remove the image uploaded ?

  3. Is there a way to set upload limit? For example, uploaded images must be jpeg or png and must not exceed 1mb in size.

  4. The biggest problem is the directory where the images are saved, can it be different from the default media library? Furthermore, when the user changes multiple images, the previous one is not deleted and will remain forever in the media library taking up space unnecessarily.

I believe the answer to these questions completes something that the woocommerce world lacks by default. This may be a standard solution for most users.

For convenience, I report the code of the previous question:

// Add field
function action_woocommerce_edit_account_form_start() {
    ?>
    <p class="woocommerce-form-row woocommerce-form-row--wide form-row form-row-wide">
        <label for="image"><?php esc_html_e( 'Image', 'woocommerce' ); ?>&nbsp;<span class="required">*</span></label>
        <input type="file" class="woocommerce-Input" name="image" accept="image/x-png,image/gif,image/jpeg">
    </p>
    <?php
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_edit_account_form_start', 'action_woocommerce_edit_account_form_start' );

// Validate
function action_woocommerce_save_account_details_errors( $args ){
    if ( isset($_POST['image']) && empty($_POST['image']) ) {
        $args->add( 'image_error', __( 'Please provide a valid image', 'woocommerce' ) );
    }
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_save_account_details_errors','action_woocommerce_save_account_details_errors', 10, 1 );

// Save
function action_woocommerce_save_account_details( $user_id ) {  
    if ( isset( $_FILES['image'] ) ) {
        require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php' );
        require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/file.php' );
        require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/media.php' );

        $attachment_id = media_handle_upload( 'image', 0 );

        if ( is_wp_error( $attachment_id ) ) {
            update_user_meta( $user_id, 'image', $_FILES['image'] . ": " . $attachment_id->get_error_message() );
        } else {
            update_user_meta( $user_id, 'image', $attachment_id );
        }
   }
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_save_account_details', 'action_woocommerce_save_account_details', 10, 1 );

// Add enctype to form to allow image upload
function action_woocommerce_edit_account_form_tag() {
    echo 'enctype="multipart/form-data"';
} 
add_action( 'woocommerce_edit_account_form_tag', 'action_woocommerce_edit_account_form_tag' );

To display the image (can be used anywhere, provided you adjust the desired hook)

// Display
function action_woocommerce_edit_account_form() {
    // Get current user id
    $user_id = get_current_user_id();

    // Get attachment id
    $attachment_id = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'image', true );

    // True
    if ( $attachment_id ) {
        $original_image_url = wp_get_attachment_url( $attachment_id );

        // Display Image instead of URL
        echo wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment_id, 'full');
    }
} 
add_action( 'woocommerce_edit_account_form', 'action_woocommerce_edit_account_form' );

    Solution to problem n1 - Set the uploaded image anywhere on the site

    Set the get_avatar filter (responsible for displaying the avatar in the comments section and other section of website) and assign it the url stored in the image meta_key.

    add_filter( 'get_avatar', 'my_custom_avatar', 10, 6 );
    function my_custom_avatar( $avatar, $id_or_email, $size, $default, $alt, $args ) {
        
      // What is the custom image field's meta key?
      // Set this value to match the meta key of your custom image field.
      $meta_key = "image";
      
      // Nothing really to change below here, unless
      // you want to change the <img> tag HTML.
      $user = false;
      if ( is_numeric( $id_or_email ) ) {
        $user = get_user_by( 'id' , (int)$id_or_email );
      } 
      
      elseif ( is_object( $id_or_email ) ) {
        if ( ! empty( $id_or_email->user_id ) ) {
          $id = (int)$id_or_email->user_id;
          $user = get_user_by( 'id' , $id );
        }
      } else {
        $user = get_user_by( 'email', $id_or_email );    
      }
    
      if ( $user && is_object( $user ) ) {
        $post_id = get_user_meta( $user->ID, $meta_key, true );
        if ( $post_id ) {
          $attachment_url = wp_get_attachment_url( $post_id );
        
          // HTML for the avatar <img> tag.  This is WP default.
          $avatar = wp_get_attachment_image($post_id, $size = array('50', '50'));
        }
      }
    
     return $avatar;
    }
    

    Solution to problem n3 - Set a size limit for files

    Thanks to this question Limit the size of a file upload (html input element) I found the solution to limit the file size in bytes. So here's what I did:

    I assigned the input type file the id file

    <input id="file" type="file" class="woocommerce-Input" name="image" accept="image/x-png,image/gif,image/jpeg">
    

    I then applied the script below

    /* Limit File Size for Avatar Upload (size in bytes) */
    var uploadField = document.getElementById("file");
    uploadField.onchange = function() {
      // Put size in Bytes
        if(this.files[0].size > 100000){
           alert("File is too big!");
           this.value = "";
        };
    };
    

  2. // Save
    function action_woocommerce_save_account_details( $user_id ) {  
        if ( isset( $_FILES['image'] ) ) {
            require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php' );
            require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/file.php' );
            require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/media.php' );
    
            function wp_set_custom_upload_folder($uploads) {
                $uploads['path'] = $uploads['basedir'] . '/custom-folder';
                $uploads['url'] = $uploads['baseurl'] . '/custom-folder';    
                if (!file_exists($uploads['path'])) {
                    mkdir($uploads['path'], 0755, true);
                }
                return $uploads;
            }
            add_filter('upload_dir', 'wp_set_custom_upload_folder');    
            
            
            $attachment_id = media_handle_upload( 'image', 0 );
    
            if ( is_wp_error( $attachment_id ) ) {
                update_user_meta( $user_id, 'image', $_FILES['image'] . ": " . $attachment_id->get_error_message() );
            } else {
                $old_attachment_id = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'image', true );
                wp_delete_attachment($old_attachment_id);
                update_user_meta( $user_id, 'image', $attachment_id );
            }
       }
    }
    add_action( 'woocommerce_save_account_details', 'action_woocommerce_save_account_details', 10, 1 );
    

    Set custom upload directory for profile image uploads

    // Display function

    function action_woocommerce_edit_account_form() {
        // Get current user id
        $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    
        // Get attachment id
        $attachment_id = get_user_meta($user_id, 'image', true);
    
        // True
        if ($attachment_id) {
            $original_image_url = wp_get_attachment_url($attachment_id);
    
            // Display Image instead of URL
            echo wp_get_attachment_image($attachment_id, 'full');
    
            if (isset($_GET['rm_profile_image_id'])) {
                if ($attachment_id == $_GET['rm_profile_image_id']) {
                    wp_delete_attachment($attachment_id);
                    delete_user_meta($user_id, 'image');
        ?> <script>
                                    window.location='<?php echo wc_get_account_endpoint_url('edit-account') ?>';
                                  </script> 
                    <?php
                    exit();
                }
            } else {
    
                echo '<a href=' . wc_get_account_endpoint_url('edit-account') . '?rm_profile_image_id=' . $attachment_id . '> ' . __('Remove') . ' </a>';
            }
        }
    }

  3. The code provided by @mujuonly looks promising, however, please take the following into consideration:

    1. Add a remove_filter after the else block in 1st code. Else all the website uploads will happen in that directory.

    To do so, use:

    remove_filter('upload_dir', 'wp_set_custom_upload_folder');
    

    after else block.

    2nd code should check if the user meta was deleted successfully or not. The line delete_user_meta($user_id, ‘image’); should be wrapped in if condition like so:

    if (delete_user_meta($user_id, 'image')){
        wp_delete_attachment($attachment_id);
    }
    

    This way you don’t delete the image first and make it unavailable for failed delete_user_meta.
