I’ve installed the beta version of WordPress 2.3 and Post Avatar is running smoothly. Wheeee
There will be an update of the plugin due in a couple of weeks. Here’s a feature list:
- Post avatar role - this will be useful for a community blog that wants to limit posting avatar rights to editors and admins only. If you’re using Role Manager 2.0, you can customize access rights.
- Customizable HTML/CSS options for automatic display - if you’re not using the template tag, you will be able to specify your own HTML styling or CSS class to match your theme instead of editing the stylesheet that comes with post avatar.
- Display in excerpt - Avatars currently show up wherever the the_content() tag is. I’ll be adding the display for the_excerpt() as well.
Update: Corinne helpfully pointed out a bug which causes the avatar to show in feeds. I’ve made the necessary fixes and updated the download file
Question: is there a way to not show the avatars in your rss feeds?
@Corinne: It’s a bug. The avatar shouldn’t show up in feeds. I’ve made the necessary changes and you can download it here
Um, is there a way to get avatars to show up in your feed if you want them to?
Open up gkl-postavatar.php and look for the function “gkl_postavatar_filter”.
Remove the line:
