Change User Avatar Programmatically in Wordpress

Question

Is it possible to change the user avatar in WordPress programmatically? I\'m asking because I\'m facing a problem right now in displaying the user avatar in WordPress multis

Answer 1

This will works :

add_filter('get_avatar_data', 'ht1_change_avatar', 100, 2);

function ht1_change_avatar($args, $id_or_email) {
    if($id_or_email == 1) {
        $args['url'] = 'https://uinames.com/api/photos/female/1.jpg';
    }

    if($id_or_email == 2) {
        $args['url'] = 'https://uinames.com/api/photos/male/19.jpg';
    }

    return $args;
} // end of function

If you have avatar dir location metas for users, then use this for all users :

add_filter('get_avatar_data', 'ht1_change_avatar', 100, 2);

function ht1_change_avatar($args, $id_or_email) {
    $avatar_url = get_user_meta($id_or_email, 'avatar', true);

    $args['url'] = $avatar_url;

    return $args;
} // end of function

Hope you get the point.
