How do I get the authors avatar? Buddypress plugin or any plugin.
I have found this inside my PHP code:
"i class="fa fa-user"/ispan'.get_the_author().'/span/div';"
It shows a small image before the author's name, I wanted to change the fa fa-user into author's avatar or buddypress avatar.
What will be the script to do that?
There are two methods to get user avatar in WordPress.
1st Method:
<?php
if (get_the_author_meta('email')) {
echo get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('email'), '60');
}
?>
2nd Method:
<?php echo get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('ID')); ?>
3rd Method
<picture>
<source srcset="<?php print get_avatar_url(get_current_user_id(), ['size' => '51']); ?>" media="(min-width: 992px)" />
<img src="<?php print get_avatar_url(get_current_user_id(), ['size' => '40']); ?>" />
</picture>
The function you're looking for is get_avatar - you should put in something like this:
<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' )); ?>
