    The plugin is great, we like it.
    When we do some updating via api, we’ve got problem, and by following the related resolved issue:
    https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-avatar-using-rest-api/
    we can fetch the media info of the avatar, but still we cannot update it by a post request /wp/v2/users/<id> including the media_id in post data.

    Our wordpress version: 6.0.2
    Plugin version: 2.6.0

    Thanks

    @redhat894 thank you for reaching out.

    I have tested and by sending media_id value in the simple_local_avatar object, I was able to update the Avatar image. Can you please share how you are sending the request?

    @faisal03 I got this, I didn’t wrap the media_id in simple_local_avatar before, now it’s working.
    Thanks.

    Hello @faisal03 ,

    So a sample rest api call to post by sending media_id value in the simple_local_avatar. will look like? Because I believe a sample code will go a long way to assist other users who need this like myself.

    great plugin by the way.

    @msowah the following is the sample request call in PHP, sending a media_id value in the simple_local_avatar.

    <?php

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
  CURLOPT_URL => 'https://mysite.local/wp-json/wp/v2/users/1/',
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
  CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
  CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
  CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
  CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST',
  CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS =>'{
    "simple_local_avatar": {
        "media_id": 9218
    }
}',
  CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
    'Authorization: Basic YWFais46bzlAvlVdCBrdVlnIGxPRTAgOG1ycCBiMzBzIFJYSEg=',
    'Content-Type: application/json',
    'Cookie: woocommerce_multicurrency_forced_currency=INR; woocommerce_multicurrency_language=en'
  ),
));

$response = curl_exec($curl);

curl_close($curl);
echo $response;
