Custom Gravatar not working.

  • I tried this is functions.php `
    add_filter( ‘avatar_defaults’, ‘new_default_avatar’ );

    function new_default_avatar ( $avatar_defaults ) {
    //Set the URL where the image file for your avatar is located
    $new_avatar_url = get_bloginfo( ‘template_directory’ ) . ‘/images/avatar.png’;
    //Set the text that will appear to the right of your avatar in Settings>>Discussion
    $avatar_defaults[$new_avatar_url] = ‘Your New Default Avatar’;
    return $avatar_defaults;
    }`

    And in my comments.php I have `<?php
    if (function_exists(‘get_avatar’)) {
    echo get_avatar($comment, $size = ’56’);
    }
    ?>`

    But the custom avatar will not show. What I get instead is an image placeholder with the link https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/d34b49e186db2b0bc1016f9fc0004195?s=56&d=http%3A%2F%2F192.168.1.100%2Fwp-content%2Fthemes%2Fhannawerner.com_2%2Fimages%2Favatar.png%3Fs%3D56&r=G

    Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

    It appears that to have echo get_avatar(); display a fixed avatar image option you added to the discussion settings and selected, you must pass FALSE instead of $comment. Any time you provide an ID or email or comment object, the request gets routed to gravatar.com, regardless of the option selected. Go figure.

    You could you please tell me how that would work in the real world? ??

    ?? Try changing your get_avatar() call to this:
    echo get_avatar(FALSE, $size = '56');

    Now when you select ‘Your New Default Avatar’ in settings, avatar.png will be used for all avatars.
