If your WordPress sites don’t show up avatar for people who comment on your site, this post we would share with you how easily to implement Gravatar manually on your WordPress theme.

Enable Avatar on WordPress

First you need to enable avatar function on WordPress. Under Settings, select Discussion, at the Avatar section, select Show Avatars option, and then save changes.

Add Gravatars to WordPress Theme

Now you need to edit the theme file to add Gravatar codes. Select Appearance tab, choose Editor, and then select comments.php . Add the code below to where you want the avatars to appear. I would recommend you paste it near the commentator name. The number “25″ signifies an avatar size of 25px by 25px square, you can edit this to suit the size of your current theme template.

<?php if(function_exists('get_avatar')) { echo get_avatar($comment, '25'); } ?>

Style Your Gravatar

You have to add a CSS class to style the Gravatar. Try some CSS examples below and edit it to blend with your template design. You can also use img .avatar to style the tags. Using different CSS styles, you can position or align avatars wherever you like.

#comments .avatar {
	float: right;
	margin: 0 10px; }

Get a Gravatar

If you don’t have a Gravatar, signup today for free. Almost all WordPress sites support Gravatar, it can enhance your comment visibility. For more information on how to use Gravatars on WordPress, check out WordPress Codex.

The basic navigation list might look something like this:

<ul id="navigation">
<li><a href="#">Page One</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Page Two</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Page Three</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Page Four</a></li>
</ul>

Here we’ll put in a few if statements. This will let PHP determine which page the user is on and allow it to put “current” in the right spot.

<ul id="navigation">
        <!-- To show "current" on the home page -->
        <li<?php
                if (is_home())
                {
                echo " id=\"current\"";
                }?>>
                <a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>">Home</a>
        </li>

        <!-- To show "current" on the Archive Page (a listing of all months and categories), individual posts, but NOT individual posts in category 10 -->
        <li<?php
                if (is_page('Archive') || is_single() && !in_category('10'))
                {
                echo " id=\"current\"";
                }?>>
                <a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/archive">Archive</a>
        </li>

        <!-- To show "current" on any posts in category 10, called Design -->
        <li<?php
                if (is_category('Design') || in_category('10') && !is_single())
                {
                echo " id=\"current\"";
                }?>>
                <a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/category/design">Design</a>
        </li>

        <!-- To show "current" on the About Page -->
        <li<?php
                if (is_page('About'))
                {
                echo " id=\"current\"";
                }?>>
                <a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/about">About</a>
        </li>
</ul>

Now we need to add some CSS that will style the highlight the appropriate list item based on what $current is. For example, do a simple highlight by adding a underline on the highlighted item. CSS might look like this:

#current {
text-decoration: underline;
}
</style>

With this method, you can create a dynamic highlight menu for homepage, single page, category page or any single post. Head over to WordPress Codex for further reference.
