Get current user avater

  • I’m trying to display the user avatar in the page so i’m wondering if it’s possible to get only the current user avatar using the short-code; [show_avatar email= current_user_id]

    Meaning I put the [show_avatar email= current_user_id] shortcode in the page and it would display the current users avatar.

    I saw a thread here that I can use the code below (I think as it wasn’t properly explained), into my PHP Functions:

    do_shortcode (‘ [show_avatar email= ‘ . get_user_id() . ‘]’ );

    I saw from the past thread that it works but I had done this and it immediately breaks my site.

    Any ideas? Help on this – as I really like this plugin, but don’t want to select specific people / users…

    Thanks

    this should work

    do_shortcode (“[show_avatar email=” . get_user_id() . “]” );

    Hi Paul,

    Once you’ve inserted that into the functions.php:

    What shortcode would you need to put in the page front end, to bring up the current user’s avatar?

    *i.e, what do I need to enter in the Email address or user id: custom value – drop down box?

    Note that: [show_avatar email= current_user_id] or even show_avatar, current_user_id all don’t work. It just brings up an unclickable white / grey man icon.

    [show_avatar email=current_user_id user_link=bp_memberpage show_name=true]

    [show_avatar email=get_user_id() user_link=bp_memberpage show_name=true]

    Both don’t work at all – what am I doing wrong?

    Any suggestions?

    OK the code I included was for in php code (you could use it in theme code ) and not in post content I may add this as an option but for now I we see if I can create a function for you
