2.7 beta1 missing avatar size plus layout problems

wp_list_comments has an option called “avatar_size”. You can set it through that. Like so:

wp_list_comments('avatar_size=64');

Here’s the point where that was added to 2.7: https://trac.www.ads-software.com/changeset/9207

There is no admin panel setting for this size at present. Considering that size of the avatar can be highly dependent on the theme, there may not be one added in the future. Let the theme take care of sizes and looks and such, is the general idea.

but if the theme’s css set avatar size more than 32px, the picture will be resized from 32px, it will get fuzzy…

If you use CSS, then yes, it’ll be fuzzy.

But if you do it the way I said above, then it will not get fuzzy. The avatar_size parameter is not a simple HTML resize, it changes the request to the gravatar servers to actually get a bigger avatar picture.

Gravatar supports avatars up to 512×512.

OK. I’m using 2.7 in the iNove theme, in comment.php it says

// for WordPress 2.7 or higher
			if (function_exists('wp_list_comments')) {
				wp_list_comments('type=comment&callback=custom_comments');

I don’t know where to add it. (I’m a total newb in codes)

Like this:

wp_list_comments('type=comment&callback=custom_comments&avatar_size=64');

&avatar_size=64 won’t work. No change.

I tried to make it into
wp_list_comments(array(‘avatar_size’=>64), ‘type=comment&callb……
a default avatar of 64px showed, but the rest of the comments are gone.

Well, then you’ll need to ask the theme author. Perhaps he has the avatar size hardcoded.

That code works in normal WordPress. However, the theme author has clearly chosen to use a custom comments callback function. So, he may not be following the same standard that WordPress uses.

Thank you all the same, for your patience. ??

never mind i found my answer.

Here’s a howto which is tested at 2.7.1 and includes CSS fixes:
