it’s a simple advice like yours, NOT a premade plugin that help people understand WP. Even for a php dummy like me.

Thank you very much

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a “how to” so nicely done and easy to understand as this. VERY MUCH appreciated! Thank you!

I just wanted to say a big thank you for this useful piece of code. I’d previously been considering writing a plugin for this that would allow our company to load in custom avatars, but when you can simply upload a directory of them based on user_ids, it’s so much simplier to get done.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction. I wanted to have an avatar appear for a particular category (where my YouTube videos would post automatically and I didn’t want to have to manually set the avatar), and you put me in the right direction.

Bernal, the code above is the same, but instead of using “the_author_ID”, simply use “the_category_ID” (as of Wordpress 2.8.4) and name your category image as [category_number].jpg within the specified directory.

Bernal, This particular code has to do with the_author_ID tag. You’d need to look at category tags to figure out what will work with them. Sorry!
