    Could you add the hook to get_avatar_url() as well.

    I wrote plugin that uses the avatar url rather than the avatar image and it returns the gravatar image instead. I was able to make a workaround function that parses the return value of get_avatar() and returns the src=’…’ contents, but I’d prefer not to have to do this.

    +1 on this.

    Mind sharing your workaround @jottinger? I was going to implement a filter to adapt the get_avatar functionality. Might as well share a common solution.

    p.s. this was what I ended up using — makes some assumptions about the size param though.

    I literally just used a regex to grab the src=”” parameter from the get_avatar() function. Nothing elegant.
