Why Gray Gravatar instead of default blue Gravatar with Gravatar symbol?

  • Just a quick question, why does WordPress 2.5.1 pull the gray gravatar blank by default instead of the blue gravatar symbol with their logo? I would much rather have that one so new users would have a clue about the avatars.

  • I cannot say exactly but I can tell you that you can create custom avatars for users without.

    Thanks. I ended up doing the brute force thing as well. I modeled it after this code in the documentation:

    <?php
   echo get_avatar( $id_or_email, $size = '96', $default = '<path_to_url>' );
   ?>

    I grabbed everything from $default on added to the code used by Ajax Comments-Reply. The final code looked like this:

    <?php if(function_exists('get_avatar'))echo get_avatar($c->comment_author_email, '80', $default = '<https://www.example.com/wp-content/themes/unstandard/images/default-gravatar.gif>' ); ?>

    I am still curious though. I was checking bossip.com and they get the blue gravatar logo straight from Gravatar.com as a default icon. So I am still would like to know what the deal is.
