Hi there,

Using a child theme, I have added this code to my functions.php file to create a shortcode to pull through the current user’s gravatar:

function theme_prefix_get_user_avatar() {

	if ( is_user_logged_in() ) :
		$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
		$current_user_email = $current_user->user_email;
		$current_user_name = $current_user->display_name;
		$current_user_avatar = get_avatar( $current_user_email, 96, '', $current_user_name );
		return $current_user_avatar;
	endif;

}

add_shortcode('user_avatar', 'theme_prefix_get_user_avatar');

I need to display the gravatar in the header (which I’m using as a fixed left sidebar), directly below my site’s logo, and above the navigation links.

So my question is: how can insert either:

<?php echo theme_prefix_get_user_avatar(); ?>

or

[user_avatar]

into my sidebar in that position?

Thanks in advance!

Will

Hi Paul,

I’m actually doing this on a staging site run on a local server, so am unable to provide a URL unfortunately. Would screenshots help?

Hi Will,

You can try adding a _navbar.php file in x-child/framework/views/global then add this code in the file:

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/GLOBAL/_NAVBAR.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Outputs the navbar.
// =============================================================================

$navbar_position = x_get_navbar_positioning();
$logo_nav_layout = x_get_logo_navigation_layout();
$is_one_page_nav = x_is_one_page_navigation();

?>

<?php if ( ( $navbar_position == 'static-top' || $navbar_position == 'fixed-top' || $is_one_page_nav ) && $logo_nav_layout == 'stacked' ) : ?>

  <div class="x-logobar">
    <div class="x-logobar-inner">
      <div class="x-container max width">
        <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_brand' ); ?>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

  <div class="x-navbar-wrap">
    <div class="<?php x_navbar_class(); ?>">
      <div class="x-navbar-inner">
        <div class="x-container max width">
          <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_nav', 'primary' ); ?>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

<?php else : ?>

  <div class="x-navbar-wrap">
    <div class="<?php x_navbar_class(); ?>">
      <div class="x-navbar-inner">
        <div class="x-container max width">
          <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_brand' ); ?>
          <!-- Add the gravatar shortcode here -->
          <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_nav', 'primary' ); ?>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

<?php endif; ?>

Please make sure to add your gravatar code in the area that says <!-- Add the gravatar shortcode here -->

Hope this helps.
