Remove Gravatar and Link to Image on Server in Author Box

[AnoopSudhakaran]

Hello,

I want to load the Author image from a directory in the server instead of calling it from Gravatar. I tried the this instructions here:

Images

But that didn't work.

Also cleared cache etc.

Can anybody help me out?

Thanks

Can you paste in the exact function you used so we can take a look?

The code from here : http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/images/#custom-gravatar

If you were referring to that.

Apologies if this is obvious, but did you change the image path in the function to match the path to your image?

No worries, I know its a simple step but people can miss that. But in this case I did replace it with my Author Image url. 🙂

Hello everyone,

I am trying to display a custom avatar with the ambiance-pro theme.
I have pasted the snippet in the function file of my theme, changed the path, but nothing has changed.

My image is in the right folder ("/images" in the theme folder).

Anyone has a clue ?

I had to change the snippet to use the full url instead, as I noticed that the partial URL stopped working:

//* Display a custom Gravatar
add_filter( 'avatar_defaults', 'nabm_gravatar' );
function nabm_gravatar ($avatar) {
	$custom_avatar = 'https://static.nutsandboltsmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/nabm-avatar.png';
	$avatar[$custom_avatar] = "NABM Gravatar";
	return $avatar;
}

Once I did that, it started working again. Be sure to go to Settings > Discussion to select the new one and save. HTH!
