Then (I mean way back) before you can change the default gravatar of your wordpress blog, you must have to edit and add some codes using your C-panel which is frustrating but recently, a developer made the whole issue way simple and easy for even a none tech to do. Yes! They have actually created a plugin for this process and it is that easy to use.
You can download the plugin directly from wordpress directory or from the developer’s site
If you have downloaded and installed the plugin, follow these simple steps to achieve your goal
• Get the image you’d like to make the default avatar and resize it (35×35 preferably)
• Save the image in your C-panel or any file sharing site you which to
• Now copy the URL of the picture you just save
• Go to your wordpress admin panel >>> Click Settings >>> Click Discussion, and scroll down till you see these avatars [see image]
Are you there? If you are with me, let’s move on to the fun part of the post, shall we!
On this part you’ll see that the plug-in we installed have created a box below the default avatars called “Add New Default Avatar”
• On the first box, name it whatever you feel like naming the custom avatar
• On the second box, paste the URL of the logo you created earlier and click save changes [see image below]
Now select the custom avatar you just created and click save. You have successfully beautified your blog’s comment area with your logo; now tell me how cool is that?
Remember that you can add as many avatars as you want and also remember that this plugin will automatically resize your image to make the perfect fit…
