Change your default Avatar with your own picture

Last updated on February 18, 2017

How to display your own picture or any images to replace mystery man and very useful if you comment in other blogs as your image will shows up while you’re commenting.

I was thinking if i can change the grey default avatar which is called Mystery man to something else.


In my case, I want to change it to my own Picture. I finally found out how.

Please keep in mind, that once you get an avatar with your email address, it will apply everywhere you post comments using the same email address that you used to sign up in Gravatar.com

Default and custom Avatar.

  • Is my site loading fast? I use this shared hosting
  • Try my theme >

This tutorial i made with wordpress 2.9.2, however it will work with wordpress 3+ (now wordpress 3.0.1).

    Great work Kimi! I didn’t know you could do that from within WordPress. I thought you had to do everything from Gravatar.com

    Hi what’s the nightmare on this CMS, there is no way to change users avatar in wordpress without signing up on another website ???!!!!

    • Kimi says

      August 20, 2010 at 12:20 pm

      @C00per, hey there 🙂

      Well wordpress team might notice it and will improve it 🙂

      Thanks for your input.

    Hey Kimi, nice to meet you 😉

    I’m not shocked but let say deeply disturbed 🙂

    How this can be possible, I’m using Joomla since 10 years and feel the need to change with a lightest and user friendly CMS. Found WordPress since several months but never plays too much with user profiles etc… So they implemented the “avatar” option on their solution and they didn’t took the time to give users a standalone way to manage their avatar !? Do you really think it’s something we will have in the nex release? I don’t think so…but really wish for it…

    • Kimi says

      August 20, 2010 at 4:36 pm

      @C00per, Nice to meet you too 🙂

      I have tried using Joomla, but i prefer wordpress and i love it.

      Of course it is not perfect but i just love it! 🙂
