Ok so I think I found a solution and wanted to post in case this is an issue for anyone else. I decided to forgo trying to create a custom default avatar through buddypress specifically, which means I’m no longer talking about using the bp-custom.php file. Instead I’ve opted to create a custom gravatar option … Read more
You can use “get_avatar” function to display avatar in menu with user name. Please try code given below: add_filter( ‘wp_nav_menu_objects’, ‘my_dynamic_menu_items’, 10 ); function my_dynamic_menu_items( $menu_items ) { foreach ( $menu_items as $menu_item ) { if ( strpos($menu_item->title, ‘#profile_name#’) !== false) { $menu_item->title = str_replace(“#profile_name#”, wp_get_current_user()->user_login .’ ‘. get_avatar( wp_get_current_user()->user_email, 50), $menu_item->title); } } return … Read more
I found the function that makes up bp_post_author_avatar() and then changed the type to full. Place this funtion in functions.php and use the new function to call the post author avatar in the template. function fod_post_author_avatar() { global $post; if ( function_exists(‘bp_core_fetch_avatar’) ) { echo apply_filters( ‘bp_post_author_avatar’, bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $post->post_author, ‘type’ => ‘full’ … Read more
The get_the_author_meta function gets the Post’s author ID, not the comment-author’s information. The get_avatar() function is perfectly capable of accepting the comment object whole and working it out from that all by itself. So just call it like so: echo get_avatar( $comment, 32 );
As usual with hooks this is issue of timing. your init function is hooked to admin load process, which works fine for most things; however in this specific case function is added to filter in constructor of WP_Comments_List_Table class, and object is created in edit-comments.php after admin loader had been processed. In my plugin for … Read more
It’s fairly simple to construct the Gravatar URL yourself, it’s just an MD5 hash of the user’s email address. <?php $gravatar=”http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/” . md5(strtolower($email)) . ‘&s=32’; ?> <div class=”avatar” style=”background: url(<?php echo $gravatar ?>);” ></div> The s parameter at the end there defines the size of the image in pixels.

You can use the get_avatar filter to change the output or avatar_defaults to add new image that can be placed on your server. Here is an example code for adding new avatar that you can set as default from the Settings > Discussion page. add_filter( ‘avatar_defaults’, ‘add_new_gravatar_image’ ); function add_new_gravatar_image($avatar_defaults) { $myavatar=”http://yoursite.com/image.png”; $avatar_defaults[$myavatar] = “Default … Read more
WordPress never makes any HTTP requests for gravatars, it just generates URLs to them. You don’t really need to override function completely. You can filter get_avatar hook and return different URL if email matches user with custom avatar set.
OK, so there are some occurrences of get_avatar() in your site. If you’ll take a look at docs for this function, you’ll see, that: you pass URL for default avatar image as 3rd param, you pass args as 5th param. And one of these args is: force_default (bool) (optional) Whether to always show the default … Read more
You can jump start by using following example. Here I’ll be listing users and loop through them to display avatar and display name. <?php $blogusers = get_users(); // Array of WP_User objects. foreach ( $blogusers as $user ) { /* Here passing user email and avater size */ echo get_avatar( $user->user_email , 96 ); echo … Read more
