   Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’ve looked everywhere on how to change the default avatar and you were the only ones who simple explained it and displayed how! Sometimes finding the answer in the haystack of information can be just mind blowing. You rock!

   Hello, I’ve tried this in my child’s theme function and it just will not work. The image in the discussion settings and on the front-end appear broken. When I right click to view the path it displays:

   It affixes the i1.wp.com before the link. Even when I tried to connect directly to the child theme stylesheet directory and pickup from the folder, ‘images/chicken_avatar.png’, it still affixed the i1.wp.com

   Any ideas how to fix this? Thank you.

     Hey Joy,

     We tested it again with a child theme and it worked as expected. We are not sure what may be causing the issue. You can follow the instructions again. Make sure you add the full image URL in the code.

     Joy: Mine Via Another WordPress Script, is Going to (i0.wp.com/MySite…). Very Strange. :–)

     • Andrew

       It Still Shows i0.wp.com/MySite Whwn Going to the Image Location, but I Changed the URL Code to (‘/custom-gravatar/mh-profile-photo-default.png’), Instead of ‘example.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/mh-profile-photo-default.png’). In Settings > Discussion It Shows My Admin Photo as the Default User Gravatar, but On User Profiles, It Views Properly! :–)

   Hello.

   The code worked perfectly fine for me. But this arises another problem:

   Same gravatar appears when everyone else including visitor comments on my blog.

   How to solve this?

   Hi, i added and sucesfully saved input(type = url) for each user profile, on ly localhost installation.
   I’m trying to change original code from WP Codex wesbsite:

   From:
   add_filter( ‘avatar_defaults’, ‘new_default_avatar’ );

   function new_default_avatar ( $avatar_defaults ) {
   //Set the URL where the image file for your avatar is located
   $new_avatar_url = get_bloginfo( ‘template_directory’ ) . ‘/images/new_default_avatar.png’;
   //Set the text that will appear to the right of your avatar in Settings>>Discussion
   $avatar_defaults[$new_avatar_url] = ‘Your New Default Avatar’;
   return $avatar_defaults;
   }

   To something that will replace default avatar url foreach user with value from custom input field(if its not empty), any help?
   I know there are plugins that allows subsciribers to upload gravatar images, but i don’t want to allow them doing that, i want to give them a chance to put url to their own images

    I have the Gravatar set up in Wordpress, but when the e-mail goes out to my followers for my blog, the mystery man is there. Looks really bad at the top of my e-mail. Any suggestions?

    Here are two folders of images in Cpanel.
    1. /public_html/wp-includes/images
    2. /public_html/wp-content/themes/divi/images

13. Michael

    I’m looking for a plugin, or SIMPLE code solution that will allow me to create a number of ‘default’ gravatar/avatar images that are color coded based on the member’s gender/orientation. Obvious ones like blue for male, pink for female, but I’ll likely add lavender for transgender and possibly others. Basically, the decision about the ‘default’ avatar that appears for the member (until they upload an image) would at least let people browsing the site know if the person they see posting (or online) is male / female / transgender / etc.. Any ideas?

    Responder

14. Me

    Is there code to force the default avatar to be blank? I have it set to blank in the WP settings, but it’s still showing up as mystery man. Is there code to either delete mystery man entirely so it’s not even an option. Or to make sure it’s blank and not mystery man? Thanks!

        Thanks! I tried that already. When I do that, the avatars also disappear from the author box (I’m using Starbox). I’m at a loss. I’ve even checked my WP tables, and it shows the default avatar is set to blank. I can’t figure out how to get rid of mystery man…

    How would one go about rotating a set of images in that Gravatar thumbnail spot? Meaning: if I had 5 different images, to have them randomly appear for users without Gravatars, so there was a variation of the 5?

    If anyone is facing issues with child themes, just use:

    $myavatar = get_stylesheet_directory_uri().’/img/favicon.png’;

    It works.

      Goto Gravatar website and sign in with WordPress. Then you can upload your avatar and tie it to one or more of your emails.

    I am having the same issue as Keely. I am using a child theme so get_bloginfo does not work. When I check the URL of the broken image it displays the path to the parent theme. Is there a way to get this to work with a child theme?

    Any way to make this use a SSL connection using the same code? Always loads “insecure content”. What changes to make it a secure image during loading?

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      If you are loading gravatar on a secure page then it should automatically load securely. Also check Settings » General change your site and WordPress address to use https. Let us know if this solved the issue.

      Is the image not showing or the code altogether is not working (i.e it’s not even adding an option for custom gravatar)?

        I am having issues with the code also. I used it on another site and it worked perfectly, however on the site I’m currently working on… it shows as an option in the admin panel under settings-discussion, however it is showing as a broken image and does not display on the blog pages either. Any help is greatly appreciated.

        Responder

        • Editorial Staff

          Right click on the broken image to get the image URL. Open that URL in another tab to verify that the URL is correct.

    I just used your advice here; more explanation that the image needed to be saved in the themes folder too would have been helpful. But your tips here helped me figure some of it out. Thanks.

    Hi!
    Wow..I’ve gone round and round with code. Not adept with this as a newb…but usually can get things to work.
    I added the code to get a default avatar for guest . It worked. At least in admin. The image shows up in ADMIN..but not on the website.

    I also signed up at gravatar for my own custom gravatar for my ADMIN comments…and it shows up in their “check point”…but cannot get it to show up in my comments.

    Neither does the Guest Gravatar.. but the GRAVATAR image shows up instead.
    My custom image IS checked as default in Discussions. Both images are uploaded to the theme/images and the path to the guest image is correct in the code. I made the images 128 x 128 as suggested online nowadaZe… Dunno if THAT sizing must be specified somewhere? I looked thru the functions code…as best as my bewildered eyes can comprehend..but didn’t finding anything that looked like it would work. Maybe in style.css?… Dunno if it makes a difference. Don’t want to go thru changing everything..and still not work. Have already spent DAYS trying to figure this out. Should be a simple thing.

    Don’t understand why MY admin gravatar isn’t showing. Per what I read…it should be handled via gravatar. The email address used for the gravatar is the same as listed in admin.

    WHAT am I doing wrong/missing?.. I have WP 2.8.4.
    I tried pasting the above code at the top…AND at the bottom… but neither works. Does it matter WHERE you paste it in the functions.php?

    Can you suggest anything?Would DEEPLY appreciate any help you can give. Can give you any code you might need…just specifiy.

    Thank you in advance. tearing out hair..

      It sounds like that this issue is not with the function rather it is the comments.php file error.

    thanks for this tip. I used this on my site and the default avatar is showing up in the comments section but not in the “Recent Comments” side bar. I’m using the “Get Recent Comments” plugin. Is this treated differently?

    Responder

    • Editorial Staff

      Unless that plugin has specified a default in their code, this should work. It means the plugin is not coded properly. Contact the developer, and ask them to fix it.

    The code works if placed in custom-php.php which has the advantage of sticking through upgrades.

    Do you have any ideas on the code for removing the html calls to gravitar.com in buddypress?

    This is the code snippet I was looking for.
    But it doesn’t work properly… I put in the code into my functions.php (I’m sure everything is correct, also the path to my picture).

    But when I go to discussion, I can’t see my Avatar, and also the WP-backend is a little bit broken… The code i put into the functions.php shows up above the header of the WP-backend.

    Can you help me please? Maybe I didn’t only a little thing wrong??

      The code above is 100% correct because that is what we are using. I don’t know what you can potentially be doing wrong. But without looking at your codes we won’t be able to help you out. You can hire us for a small fee, and our staff can surely fix the problem.

        I think I may be having the same trouble as fantasmo. The snippet works and the gravatar shows up within the discussion admin page but when you click on ‘save changes’ to save the options, you get a white screen which displays the footer from the option-discussions.php instead of the full page saying that the options have been saved.

        Responder

    • CC Rogers

      I saw the same results as Fantasmo. When I copy/pasted the code, the blank line between the add_filter and the function was lost for some reason. Putting the blank line back seemed to fix the problem.
