 * Hey,
 * Noticed people had the same problem as me with no avatar showing. Thought I would
   post here how I got profile images showing for twitter login, not sure about 
   other networks as I am only using twitter.
 * This is what I did
 * Added custom avatars following this article
    [http://www.billerickson.net/wordpress-custom-avatar/](http://www.billerickson.net/wordpress-custom-avatar/)(
   themes functions.php btw)
 * You will need to edit line 8 with the following
 * <input type=”text” name=”be_custom_avatar” id=”be_custom_avatar” value=”[http://api.twitter.com/1/users/profile_image/&lt](http://api.twitter.com/1/users/profile_image/&lt);?
   php echo esc_attr( $user->user_login ); ?>” disabled=”disabled” class=”regular-
   text” />
 * Works for me!

 * Ok!
 * Can you please explain how to modify the functions.php file?
 * I don’t just add it to the end right?
 * Thanks
