Hi Aaron,

Please let us know how the avatars are being uploaded. Do you use some specific plugin? Are all caches deleted properly before checking?  

Hi @asti - Beda here, I work with Aaron on this project.

We are using the default WordPress `get_avatar_url` filter ( https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/get_avatar_url/ ) to modify the avatars of users on this website.
We pass it a value of an Image URL stored in a User's meta. Works great on every instance where someone uses `get_avatar_url`.

I debugged the code we use, and confirmed that the filter _always_ returns the right image URL even in the WP Discuz comments section, but, for some reason WPDiscuz seems to alter that _after_ (or independently of) WP avatar filter, thus resulting in an `img src` value that is not filtered and therefore our custom images are not loaded, instead, the _gravatars_ of those users are loaded.

So I suspect, just like you have a filter to alter the _url_ applied to that avatar (and username) on WPDiscuz (`wpdiscuz_profile_url`) you probably have a filter to alter the _image src_ value  - maybe something like `wpdiscuz_profile_img_url` - that we can hook our code to?

I have found https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/codex/filters/wpdiscuz_author_avatar_field/ , but this is inadequate - we do not want to get avatar by another email or user id values, we want to put our own modified URL there (it is actually an URL stored in a User Meta Field, but this really should not matter)
https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/codex/filters/wpdiscuz_avatar_link_attributes/ also is inadequate since it seems to target the _link_ wrapping the img (so not allowing us to change the img src attribute)

Could you point me to the right filter you use so I can hook our code to that one as well and return a modified img src value?
