    I’m seeing the default WP User Avatar (or gravatar if enabled), instead of my own uploaded.
    The Avatar is displayed at the bottom of each post.
    The Avatar is displayed using the following code:

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[avatar]'); ?>

    1. Do you see your correct avatar in your Users list (https://{yoursite}/wp-admin/users.php) and in the upper right corner of your admin bar?

    Yes, I see correct WP User Avatar at both the places.

    2. Do you see the wrong avatar in the Comments admin (https://{yoursite}/wp-admin/edit-comments.php)?

    No, I see correct WP User Avatar.

    3. What happens if you remove your avatar from your profile, save the profile, add the avatar back, and then save again?

    Same Results. Default WP User Avatar is being displayed.

    4. Have you changed your profile e-mail address?

    No

    5. Does your current e-mail address match those that were used when you made the comments?

    I made a comment when I was logged in.

    6. What I meant was, if you are logged out, do you see your correct avatar in your comments?

    Yes, I see correct avatar in my comments.

    7. Do you see the incorrect avatar only when you’re logged in?

    The behavior is same whether I’m logged in or logged out. Both for comments and when displaying WP User Avatar using this code:-

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[avatar]'); ?>

  • Are you using the shortcode because you want to show the avatar for the author of the post?

    For posts, it should show the avatar for the author of the post if you have the code within The Loop. You can also pass the author ID to be on the safe side. If you’re inserting this directly into your template, I’d recommend using the regular function instead of the shortcode. (I think it’s easier to read.)

    <?php echo get_wp_user_avatar(get_the_author_meta('ID'), 96); ?>

    However, you can write the shortcode as this:

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[avatar user="'.get_the_author_meta('ID').'"]'); ?>

    Thanks. The problem is fixed by using the later shortcode you provided:-

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[avatar user="'.get_the_author_meta('ID').'"]'); ?>

    No problem, thanks for using my plugin!

    am having the same problem, I have tried the above shortcode
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[avatar user="'.get_the_author_meta('ID').'"]'); ?>
    didn’t work for me

    This was in a different support thread for the same issue and it worked for me when I couldnt get anything but the default avatar to show:
    <?php
    global $current_user;
    get_currentuserinfo();
    echo get_wp_user_avatar($current_user->ID, 96);
    ?>

    Thanks Banjohead – you answer worked perfectly for me
