Solution- avatar's not showing

  • Hey, just downloaded this plugin, and was running into the same issue other users have reported, with the upload working, but the default gravatar still being displayed.

    Checked the database, and the usermeta was being updated correctly, so wrote the following hack, which is working for me. I assume there must be a plugin or something overriding the filter you’re using, however I don’t have time to look into it right now.

    `<?php
    $av = get_user_meta(get_current_user_id(), ‘basic_user_avatar’, true);
    if ( $av ) {
    echo ‘<img src =”‘ . $av[‘full’] . ‘”>’;
    }
    else {
    echo get_avatar( get_current_user_id() );
    }?>`

    Even better, add the following to your functions.php file:

    add_filter( 'get_avatar' , 'my_custom_avatar' );

function my_custom_avatar( $avatar, $id_or_email, $size, $default, $alt ) {
  $av = get_user_meta(get_current_user_id(), 'basic_user_avatar', true);
  if ( is_array( $av)  ) { return '<img src ="' . $av['full'] . '">';
                          }
  else {
    return $avatar;
}
}

    That’s really strange, but at least I know now that things are getting saved correctly, which is helpful. Thanks for that information.

    As you mentioned, I wonder if the filter is getting stomped on by something else.

    You may try editing this line in the plugin:

    add_filter( 'get_avatar', array( $this, 'get_avatar' ), 10, 5 );

    to

    add_filter( 'get_avatar', array( $this, 'get_avatar' ), 5, 5 );

    This will bump the priority to 5 (from 10). Try moving the priority up or down and see if that makes a difference. If it does, then we know the issue is something conflicting with our filter and I can see about pushing an update to work around.

    Thanks for the info!

    Having same issue, have tried both the above and the first is showing a huge image, the second has made no difference at all.

    So it’s displaying a huge image or the avatar isn’t showing?
