Avatar for non-logged users

Hi @foxermarcin,

Thanks for the post. ??

We’ll forward your request to our development team for consideration.

Thank you for using User Menus! ??

@foxermarcin – Hmm, that might be doable within WP already. I think we just use get_avatar, so you could filter it and return a value if user is not logged in.

I haven’t tested this but looks like it should do the trick, change $default_image to be the url to whatever image you prefer.

function custom_default_avatar( $avatar, $id_or_email, $size, $default, $alt ) {
    // If there's no logged in user
    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
        // Path to your default avatar image (change to your actual path)
        $default_image = get_template_directory_uri() . '/path-to-your-default-image.jpg';

        // Replace the avatar URL with your default image URL
        $avatar = "<img alt='{$alt}' src='{$default_image}' class='avatar avatar-{$size} photo' height='{$size}' width='{$size}' />";
    }

    return $avatar;
}
add_filter( 'get_avatar', 'custom_default_avatar', 10, 5 );

@danieliser – thank you, that’s looks promising but unfortunately doesn’t work. Probably because you are using standard get_avatar only in case of logged user. Adding filter to get_avatar for non-logged is worthless until get_avatar is avoided by IF-ELSE statement in the plugin’s code.

From items.php (line 149+):

foreach ( $matches as $string ) {
	if ( ! array_key_exists( $string, Codes::valid_codes() ) ) {

		// If its not a valid code it is likely a fallback.
		$replace = $string;
	} elseif ( 0 === $current_user->ID && array_key_exists( $string, Codes::valid_codes() ) ) {

		// If the code exists & user is not logged in, return nothing.
		$replace = '';
	} else {
		switch ( $string ) {
			case 'avatar':
				$replace = get_avatar( $current_user->ID, self::$current_item->avatar_size );
				break;
