Display the uploaded avatar

Hi,

WP User Frontend uses the same get_avatar function for showing the avatar image. If you use the get_avatar function, it’ll search for any uploaded image through the plugin. If not, it’ll show the default gravatar instead.

Hi Tareq,

Thanks for answering. That’s the problem, I am using the get_avatar() function in my author.php file, but it won’t display the uploaded image. Instead it displays a gravatar, or the “mystery man” image which you can select in the admin dashboard.

However, up in the admin bar where it says “Howdy, …”, my uploaded image is actually displayed. Why is it not working in my author.php file? Have I missed something perhaps? Do I need to add something in the function, like an ID or something else?

As the howdy area looks as expected, then everything looks fine. May be you should pass the user id or the user email in the get_avatar function and see if it works.

Hi again Tareq,

I managed to fix it, simply by putting the user id inside the get_avatar() function, like this; get_avatar( $curauth->id );

Thanks for helping!
