Check if user has avatar

Question

I want to show author avatar in post info. So I use

<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) , 80); ?>

But how can I check if user has avatar?

Answer 1

get_avatar() returns An img element for the user's avatar or false on failure. The function does not output anything; you have to echo the return value.

so you can try something like that

if( get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) == 0) {
   // no img code
} else {
   echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) , 80 );
}
