This plugin will give visitors an avatar theme of your choice if they don't have a Gravatar.

Description

This plugin will give visitors an avatar theme of your choice if they don't have a Gravatar. It's developed by iElectrify and Fahd Murtaza.

Simply install the wordpress-custom-avatars plugin into your WordPress plugins folder (/wp-content/plugins) and activate it via the Dashboard.

If your WordPress theme does not support avatars (rare), simply add this snippet of code where you want the avatars to appear:

<?php get_avatar(); ?>

Icons should be sized at 48x48 pixels. You can use a free graphics viewer/resizer such as Irfanview to do this. To find themed icons for your blog, many of which are free for personal and commercial use, see IconFinder.

When you have your icons, just add them to the wordpress-custom-avatars/images folder in your WordPress plugins area. That's it! Enjoy!

Features

  • Use custom random avatars instead of the default Gravatars like the "Mystery Man" avatar.
