How to Add a Custom User Avatar in WordPress?

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does WordPress use Gravatar by default?

WordPress relies on Gravatar to avoid storing avatar images locally, but this adds a third-party dependency that many site owners don’t want.

Can I add a custom default avatar without Gravatar?

Yes. Custom User Avatar lets you upload your own image and use it as the default avatar across your WordPress site.

Do I need another plugin just for user avatars?

Normally yes, but Nexter Extension includes this feature inside a single plugin, avoiding extra installs.

Will custom avatars show in comments automatically?

Yes. Once set, the custom avatar appears instantly in comments and user profiles without extra configuration.

What happens if I stop using Gravatar?

Nothing breaks. WordPress simply displays your uploaded avatar instead of fetching images from Gravatar.

Is this useful for multi-author or agency sites?

Yes. Agencies can apply a consistent avatar across multiple sites, saving setup time and keeping branding uniform.
