Create Custom WordPress Avatar in Easy Steps
Avatars are the images or logos displayed when someone lives to comment on your blog post. But if a person mistypes his or her email address or does not have an avatar, then the default WordPress avatar is shown alongside the comment.
WordPress allows site owners to create custom WordPress avatars for users. The custom image will be shown when no avatar is associated with the mail id. Otherwise, the Gravatar set by the user will be displayed.
You, too, can create custom WordPress avatars for your WordPress run blog or website. This blog post will cover how to create custom WordPress Avatars in easy steps:
Steps to Create Custom WordPress Avatar
Follow the steps to create a custom WordPress avatar for your blog or website:
- Create a 80 x 80 px size image file in .png or .jpg format
- Upload the file in image folder of your web host
- Go to Appearance > Editor > functions.php
- For safety, make a copy of the functions.php and save it in a notepad

add_filter( 'avatar_defaults', 'new_avatar' );
function new_avatar($avatar_defaults){
$new_avatar = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/avatar_logo.png';
$avatar_defaults[$new_avatar] = "Infyways Logo";
