 * If you are having an issue with custom default avatar not working and are using
   a child theme.
 * Use this code in functions.php instead:
 *     ```
       function custom_avatar_defaults ( $avatar_defaults ) {
           $avatar_url = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/avatar.png';
           $avatar_defaults[$avatar_url] = __( 'Custom Default Avatar', 'mytextdomain' );
   
           return $avatar_defaults;
       }
   
       add_filter( 'avatar_defaults', 'custom_avatar_defaults' );
       ```
   
 * Basically, trade `get_bloginfo('template_directory')` for `get_stylesheet_directory_uri()`

 * Thanks that would be great. I actually found this on another forum so I can’t
   take the credit for it. I’ll post the link later if I can find it.
 * Thank you.
