Ok so I’ve spent quite a while trying to get this working. I’ve discovered that this

get_the_post_thumbnail($dj->ID, ‘thumbnail’)

is what’s controlling the output of the thumbnail.

So I installed WP User Avatar plugin so I could set an image for a user manually, which works fine.

I then set a variable to see what $dj->ID did:

$tmp = $dj->ID;

Then output $tmp and the result was “292” (no quotes)

I looked in phpmyadmin and this correlates to the “wp_posts” table and is giving the “ID” of that post.

I changed the code to:

get_wp_user_avatar($dj->ID, 96)

…and this gives a blank value because there is no user ID of 292.

In fact, the user ID I’m looking for, for the user who is “on-air” happens to be “3”.

I tried the following:

get_wp_user_avatar(3, 96)

and it worked! It output the user thumbnail.

However, obviously I want to dynamically fetch this user ID and this is where I’m struggling now because my PHP knowledge isn’t quite good enough.

Please can someone help with this? How can I maybe use the wp_posts ID and pull in the user ID from the posts_author value? I’m getting confused here…
