Modify Gravatar Size in Genesis Framework

Previously, I wrote about how to get your own Gravatar. If you’re a serious blogger and really want your own identity, make sure to read that article.

If you’re a theme developer, there is time when you might need to change the Gravatar image size in your WordPress theme. Even if you’re not a developer, do not worry. This tutorial is very easy to follow. Today, I’ll share some snippets how to change the Gravatar image size in Author Box and Comment Section. This tutorial is specifically dedicated to Genesis Framework users.

1. Change Gravatar Image Size in Author Box

<?php

// Modify the size of the Gravatar in the author box

 add_filter( 'genesis_author_box_gravatar_size', 'afn_author_box_gravatar_size' );
    function afn_author_box_gravatar_size($size) {
 return '80';
}

Make sure to change the number 80 to any size as you wish. Put the code above in your theme functions.php file. If you’re using a child theme, make sure to put the code in your child theme’s
functions.php file. Personally, I recommend to put the code in your functionality plugin. I’ll write more about that later.

2. Change Gravatar Image Size in Comment Section

While the previous code can only change the Gravatar size in Author Box, the code below can be used to modify the Gravatar size in comment section.

<?php

// Change Gravatar Image Size in Comment Section

function afn_comment_list_args( $args ) {
    return array( 'type' => 'comment', 'avatar_size' => 80, 'callback' => 'genesis_comment_callback' );
}
add_filter( 'genesis_comment_list_args', 'afn_comment_list_args' );

That’s it. I hope the tutorial will be useful.
