Alternative default avatar generator?

Most of the commenters at my WordPress blog do not have a Gravatar account. Hence the comment section is almost always filled with the same old mystery man avatars.

I am looking for custom gravatar generators for commenters without their own avatar. So far I have only found Identicons, MonsterID’s, and Wavatars. I find some of the avatars generated by these engines to be these ugly, scary and OTT. Also these do not blend with the blog theme and stick out like a sore thumb.

  1. Drop this code in your function.php

        add_filter( 'avatar_defaults', 'wpb_new_gravatar' );
    function wpb_new_gravatar ($avatar_defaults) {
    $myavatar = 'http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/custom-gravatar.png';
    $avatar_defaults[$myavatar] = "Default Gravatar";
    return $avatar_defaults;
    }
    

    Replace url with your custom avatar url. Then go into Settings > Discussion and here you can select your custom avatar. For more detail (screenshots & video) take a look on this link
