Is there any way to change the aspect ratio of the WordPress Avatars? Or is this hardcoded?

Greetings, .wired

Possible sollutions:

  • Use Css with something like overflow: hidden; and "cut out" what you need.
  • Use the filter apply_filters('get_avatar', $avatar, $id_or_email, $size, $default, $alt); and override the output of $avatar completely.
  • The function get_avatar() is pluggable. That means if you hook a plugin function early enough that already defines get_avatar() then this function will be used instead of the core function. See Core (link).

The aspect ratio is dictated by the Gravatar service and it's not customizable.

true but I think you can adjust the size via url if I'm not mistaken. Gravatar sends the suse in a url. I'm not 100% percent on this though – xLRDxREVENGEx May 18 '11 at 5:27
I am talking about avatar size, not Gravatar size. I can disable gravatar and use also other sources and plugins to change the image source, but they all got the aspect ratio 1:1 – dotwired May 18 '11 at 8:03
