Fetching Gravatar

Question

How can I fetch anyone’s gravatar image?

I need to show users gravatar image on a custom profile page that am making.

I have so far integrated the option of Facebook Profile Pic (which automatically gets grabbed) and also am allowing user to assign his/her own photo (on wish).

What I need to do is, if person do not comes from FB, then maybe his email or something should be used to see if he/she has a gravatar, if yes then display it. How can I do that?

Thanks.

You can use get_avatar. The following example prints an avatar in 96 px, assuming that you have the user id stored in $user_id, and prints a fallback user.png if no such user or image could be found.

echo get_avatar($user_id, 96, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/user.png');
