Author Avatar as default first image
There was a lotta junk in that function, here’s all you need: function get_post_image() { global $post; if ( preg_match( ‘/<img.+?src=[\'”]([^\'”]+)[\'”].*>/i’, $post->post_content, $matches ) ) $image = $matches[1]; else $image = get_avatar( $post->post_author ); return $image; }
