Title: using gravatar code elsewhere Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # using gravatar code elsewhere * [lokjah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lokjah/) * (@lokjah) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-gravatar-code-elsewhere/) * Im trying to incorporate the gravatar code in other areas of my site and seem to be havin a bit of trouble getting it to show up…. at the moment i’m trying to add it to the get-commenters code by coffee2code and after alot of attempts the closest I can come is getting no php errors but its printing out the last bits of the img src `bruce" alt="" /> (2) ` * when using the gravatar code as such : * `foreach ($commenters as $commenter) { echo $before; if (!empty($commenter-> comment_author_url)) echo 'comment_author_url)) echo '>'; echo $commenter->comment_author; if (!empty($commenter->comment_author_url)) echo ''; if (!empty($commenter->comment_author_url)) echo '" alt="" />'; if (' top' == $type) echo ' (' . $commenter->total_comments . ')'; if (!$omit_last_after) echo $after; echo "n"; } * anyone spot what Im doin wrong?

Try changing that line and see what happens. * [Nick Momrik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mtdewvirus/) * (@mtdewvirus) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-gravatar-code-elsewhere/#post-156668) * Whoops….make that $commenter, not $comment * Thread Starter [lokjah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lokjah/) * (@lokjah) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-gravatar-code-elsewhere/#post-156671) * huh very strange man.. u know that didnt make a lick a difference….. * still showin up unpredictably…. * [Nick Momrik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mtdewvirus/) * (@mtdewvirus) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-gravatar-code-elsewhere/#post-156673) * Is the plugin pulling comment_author_email in the query to the database? Maybe you can paste the code up here… [http://www.pastebin.com/](http://www.pastebin.com/) and post back here with a link to it. * Thread Starter [lokjah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lokjah/) * (@lokjah) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-gravatar-code-elsewhere/#post-156674) * hope i did this right man.. heres the link to the plugin code * [http://www.pastebin.com/247706](http://www.pastebin.com/247706) * [Nick Momrik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mtdewvirus/) * (@mtdewvirus) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-gravatar-code-elsewhere/#post-156676) * I don’t know what to tell you. I can’t see anything jumping out at me. Only thing I can think of is to remove the if block around that gravatar code, because now that I think of it, the if isn’t needed. Gravatar should work with or without an email address passed to it. If it doens’t get one, it simply displays your default image. * By the way…you are replacing “[http://mysite.com/graphics/grav.gif”](http://mysite.com/graphics/grav.gif”); with the location of your own default image right?
