Description
Ava is a minimal shortcode which allows you to easily display an avatar. All you need to do is type [ava]
into a WordPress post or page. Doing this will display the currently logged in user’s avatar.
To show a specific user, do this:
[ava id=»1″]
To change the size and add an alt attribute do this:
[ava size=»32″ alt=»me»] or [ava id="1" size="32" alt="me"]
If you are comfortable editing your theme and with PHP you may also utilize this shortcode by using: <?php echo do_shortcode('[ava]'); ?>
Installation
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/ava
directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
- Place [ava] in a page.
- Use CSS to make it pretty.
FAQ
-
How do I style the avatar?
-
With CSS.
-
Okay. Could you be a little more specific?
-
Try this first:
[ava class="whatever"]
Then, put the following code where your custom CSS is:
.whatever{border-radius:50%; width:50%;}
Now, if that does not work, I recommend wrapping the shortcode in a span tag with a class. For example:
<span class="whatever">[ava]</span>
Either way, you need to know some CSS/HTML basics.
