How the ReviewX Profile Photo Uploader Works

If you’ve gone looking for a shortcode to add a profile-photo uploader to your site, you can stop — there isn’t one, and there doesn’t need to be. ReviewX handles reviewer profile photos automatically wherever a photo review is enabled, without any shortcode or manual placement required.

How it actually works

When Photo with Review is enabled for a product or custom post type (under Reviews → Review Settings), the review submission form — whether shown on the product page by default or via [rvx-woo-reviews] / [rvx-review-form] — automatically includes an upload control for attaching a photo to the review. Logged-in customers can also set/update the avatar shown next to their reviews from their WooCommerce My Account page, without needing a shortcode anywhere.

What you need to do

  1. Go to ReviewX → Reviews → Review Settings for the product type you want (WooCommerce products or a custom post type).
  2. Enable Photo with Review.
  3. That’s it — the upload control appears automatically on the review form for that product/post type.

Why this changed

An earlier version of this article referenced a dedicated [rvx_user_avatar] shortcode. That shortcode was never shipped — it exists only as a commented-out placeholder in the codebase marked “future implementation.” If you’re trying to replicate what that article described, the photo-review upload flow above is the current, working equivalent.
