Tareq Hasan	You guys must be doing something to make the get_avatar return a local avatar rather than just gravatar, right? I need to determine if there is an avatar available for a user - either a gravatar or a local avatar. Is there a way to do that?

Mahi	Helo cheekyboots, We are not doing anything here 🙂 . The profile image is displayed by the standard `get_avatar()` function, provided by WordPress.

cheekyboots	No. get_avatar() by itself only returns gravatars. Never mind, I searched your codebase. You are filtering get_avatar() in the wpuf-functions.php file on line 553 so it uses wpuf_get_avatar to look for a local avatar first.

Mahi	WordPress by default shows image using Gravatar . In registration form settings option their is a profile field – Avatar . By default, wpuf plugin try to get this Avatar (if its been using or not) , then try to get Gravatar . Cheers.

Tareq Hasan	Yeah, you are right. It’s filtering the `get_avatar` function. I am looking for a custom field `user_avatar`, if it exists, I am showing the local avatar.
