Change source of author image

  • Where can I change the source of the author image. Currently, I’m using the Fanciest Author Box plugin which uses a custom image area rather than the gravatar. The php to call in the picture is ‘get_user_meta( $authordata->ID, ‘ts_fab_photo_url’, true )’. Where can I put that in your plugin files to use that instead of the Gravatar picture?

    Thanks! Amazing plug-in!

    most of the custom author plug-in just hook into the get_avatar($user->user_id, $avatar_size); as this all I call to get the URL

    this function has this filter
    apply_filters(‘get_avatar’, $avatar, $id_or_email, $size, $default, $alt);
    so you can over load it and return the image from the plug-in

    fanciest box does look like it call get_avatar
