 * hello, I am new to wordpress so I apologize for this post. I was able install
   and configure the Plugin and sync my photos from the Active Directory attibute.
   What I don’t know is how to make the photos show up as my users Avatar. I am 
   guessing I need to replace some code somewhere with the adt_user_photo_url somewhere
   in the wordpress but I wasn’t sure where that was. Can you provide me some direction?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * So that variable refers to the theme files not the avatar itself. Wherever you
   have the avatar showing in your template, use:
 * `<?php echo $user->adt_user_photo_url ?>`
