Custom Gravatar

Home » Tutorials » Wordpress Tutorials » Custom Gravatar

A custom gravatar is used when people are commenting on your posts. If they do not have one of their own then a default one will be used in place. Usually this is a blue icon with a white G but you can create a custom one of anything you like and this can be used instead.

1. First make an account with Gravatar and follow the on screen instructions.

2. Next log in to your WordPress dashboard > Appearance > theme editor and go to your comments.php page.

3.Find the code below or copy and paste it in if you do not have it to where you would like the gravatar to show:

<?php if(function_exists('get_avatar')) 

{ echo get_avatar($comment, 

50, 'YOURURLTOYOURGRAVATAR'); } ?>

Paste the url of your gravatar from your gravatar account and make sure the quotation marks are around your url not the number. Then click update file and you’re done.
