Can’t change default Gravatar image

This issue occurs because the default gravatar image URL is not being correctly passed to the Gravatar service.

You can resolve this issue by changing your code to set the default parameter to the URL of your custom avatar image.

Here’s the updated code:

function custom_default_gravatar($avatar_defaults) {
    $new_avatar = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/profile-user-avatar.svg';
    $avatar_defaults[$new_avatar] = 'Custom Gravatar';
    return $avatar_defaults;
}
add_filter('avatar_defaults', 'custom_default_gravatar');

Thanks for the reply and explaining.

I have tried that code, but still getting the following:

https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ea508982d1b0cad196bed52e87dacc2d?s=192&d=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.website.co.uk%2Fwp-content%2Fthemes%2Fmy-listing-child%2Fimages%2Fprofile-user-avatar.svg&r=g 2x

And still not showing the actual image.

are you sure that the path to the image is correct that you are using?

Yes, this is the url:

https://www.bansteadlocal.co.uk/wp-content/themes/my-listing-child/images/profile-user-avatar.svg

maybe change the file type to a png instead? Just to test and then use this code

function custom_default_gravatar($avatar_defaults) {
    $new_avatar = 'https://www.bansteadlocal.co.uk/wp-content/themes/my-listing-child/images/profile-user-avatar.png';
    $avatar_defaults['default'] = $new_avatar;
    return $avatar_defaults;
}
add_filter('avatar_defaults', 'custom_default_gravatar');

Ah, yes the PNG seemed to work. I guess there isn’t a way of using SVG’s?
