Add new option to the Default Avatar list. Supply a name and URL for an image you’d like to use and it will appear in your Default Avatar list on the Discussion page (under Settings).
New in 1.3 development version:
- add more than one extra avatar option
- restore previous option on deactivation (if upgrading to 1.3, it’ll restore the last option not created by the plugin, or ‘mystery’)
- try it out, report bugs!
Download
Latest version: Download Add New Default Avatar v1.2.2
Installation
- Upload
kl_addnewdefaultavatar.phpto the/wp-content/plugins/ - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Go to Settings > Discussion > Avatars
- Supply the name and URL for the avatar you’d rather use. Save. (Some themes won’t resize your image to fit, so it’s best to use an image that’s already the right size.)
- Your avatar will now be available in the list, select it and save.
FAQ
Q. Why isn’t my custom avatar showing up?
A. Until version 1.3, you must save the custom avatar options once to create the extra option. Then select the custom avatar option and save a second time to actually use it.

I installed the plugin on my Word Press Site and I use the Thesis Theme 1.8. It worked perfectly. Thank you so much for this excellent – no hassle plugin!
Wishing lots of success!

I have used this on my site and it works great, but when I tried to set it up for a friend on their website, nothing shows up in the user section as far as the picture or a way to upload a new one. I did everything the same… any ideas on this?
Sorry for the really late response –
I can’t think of an obvious reason the plugin would work in one place and not another. Is/Was everything really the same? Plugins, user roles, etc.?
Is there a way to make it pick a different image per email address commenter like the monsters avatar does? Just wondering!
It is possible, just not with this plugin…
Another plugin of mine – RoboHash Avatar – demonstrates this ability using images generated by .
The tricky part is generating the image based on an email hash – one you’ve got that part done, the rest is easy.
Great plug-in, but I have one question. Is this designed so that Gravatars will still be supported? Because right now all my avatars have changed to the default one.
Thanks!
When I had the plugin installed on my website, my Gravatar was displaying.
I’ve been using this plugin for a while but yesterday someone reported to me that their uploaded avatar wasn’t displaying on my organisation’s website. The only avatar that was showing was the new default avatar, as facilitated by using this plugin.
I managed to get my own admin user’s gravatar working but not this user’s uploaded avatar. I could see that this user had uploaded their avatar but it wasn’t displaying in their blog comment or in the list of WP users in the WP admin interface.
I decided to deactivate your plugin and this got the user’s uploaded avatar displaying, so I’ve had to leave your plugin deactivated for now. Do you have any idea of what might have gone wrong?
I’ve installed Add New Default Avatar [Emrikol's Fork] instead (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-new-default-avatar-emrikols-fork/) and that’s working fine.
