pre_get_avatar │ filter-hook │ WP 4.2.0

Allows the HTML for a user's avatar to be returned early.

Returning a non-null value will effectively short-circuit get_avatar(), passing the value through the get_avatar filter and returning early.

Usage

add_filter( 'pre_get_avatar', 'wp_kama_pre_get_avatar_filter', 10, 3 );

/**
