Swap gravatar for featured image

Where is the featured image coming from? Can you share the code you’re using?

It’s the standard WP featured image.

ideally add a call in functions.php:
add_image_size( 'author-avatar', 30, 30, true );

and then in the page itself:
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail('author-avatar'); } ?>

for example.

Sorry, I’m not following exactly. Are you then setting the author avatar on a post by post basis? How would you like to incorporate the plugin?

Correct – Standard featured image on a post x post basis – I know it’s not the conventional way but it’s a client request to build it this way.

So, my question is, where your plugin is concerned, is there anyway to swap out the gravtar icon with a posts featured image?

Thanks.

If you’re referring to the gravatar icon that appears in the admin when you’re assigning the coauthor, no. Not without some hacky JavaScript.

Use of get_avatar() on the frontend can be filtered to use the featured image associated with the post though.
