That will be the problem. The [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin has a `'wpdc_sso_avatar_url'` filter that can be used to filter the avatar URL that is passed to Discourse. The filter is passed two parameters: `$avatar_url`, and `$user_id`.

To avoid sending the default avatar to Discourse, you’d need to add some code to your theme’s `functions.php` file that hooks into the filter and returns an empty string for users who have the default avatar:

```php
add_filter( 'wpdc_sso_avatar_url', 'wpdc_custom_sso_avatar_url', 10, 2 );
function wpdc_custom_sso_avatar_url( $avatar_url, $user_id ) {
    if ( /* some condition that returns true for users with the default avatar */ ) {

        return '';
    }

    return $avatar_url;
}

```
