Changing Default Avatar

[ThemeVal]

Hi, I am following the information at the WordPress Codex to create a custom default avatar.

I have added their suggested php code to functions.php file as they suggest — into the Kleo Child functions.php.

Nothing seems to be happening. The ugly default “Mystery Man” is still showing up on my site.

Can you please help???

Thank you!!!

Found an answer at BuddyPress that worked like a charm:

The way I achieve this is by using wordpress blank avatar and css.
In wordpress dashboard Settings -> Discussion, change default avatar to Blank.
In your css file add this (after uploading the image you want to use ->

.avatar {background:url(image/custom_avatar.png) 0 0px no-repeat!important;background-size:100%, 100%!important;}
