@simon On the avatar functionality, it appears to pull from avatar\_url. That function can’t be overwritten to my understanding and will always use the Gravtar URL. We are allowing users to update their avatar image within our MemberPress account. The URL looks like get\_user\_meta($user-\>ID, ‘mepr\_custom\_avatar’, true);. What’s the best way to make this work within the plugin? I guess I’d have to hard-code the change into the plugin? Any better option?
