Technically the theme doesn't add anything. It just uses the Gravatar that WP determines applicable. Now, if you want a different Gravatar to apply, and that Gravatar is defined by a plugin, then the right folks to ask would be the plugin authors. If coded appropriately, a plugin can automatically override WP's native Gravatar, so that you don't have to make any changes and everything works seamlessly. Either way, this is predominantly unrelated to the theme.
Now, if you pick up any post on aquoid.com/news, you will see that for any user without an explicit Avatar, they get the "a" icon. How did I do that? I used a small script that I wrote as a
"must use" plugin. This is the code I used (note that it only adds the same icon for any missing avatar - it doesn't pull avatars from any different source):
- Code: Select all
add_filter('avatar_defaults', 'aquoid_avatar');
function aquoid_avatar($avatar_defaults) {
$aquoid_avatar = get_site_url()."/wp-content/uploads/aquoid128x128.png";
$avatar_defaults[$aquoid_avatar] = 'Aquoid';
return $avatar_defaults;
}
You could add similar code to your
child theme's functions.php.
