Ultimate Member - Override default avatar

<?php 
/***
*** @Dettach um default avatar
***/
add_filter('avatar_defaults', 'um_avatar_defaults', 99999 ); 
function um_avatar_defaults($avatar_defaults) { 
    remove_filter('get_avatar', 'um_get_avatar', 99999, 5); 
    return $avatar_defaults; 
}    

/***
***	@Override avatars with a high priority
***/
add_filter('get_avatar', 'my_own_avatar', 999999, 5); 
function my_own_avatar($avatar = '', $id_or_email='', $size = '96', $avatar_class = '', $default = '', $alt = '') {
      // Insert new source of avatar
 }
?>

Hi @champsupertramp would it be possible to get an update of this gist so it works with the latest version of Ultimate Member?

I am trying something with:

add_filter("um_get_option_filter__default_avatar","um_get_option_filter__default_avatar", 10, 1);
   function um_get_option_filter__default_avatar( $option ){

  return $option;
}

But I don't know how to assign the new URL to the array $option, I am not a developer.

Hi @diegopau

You can add the direct Image URL.

add_filter("um_get_option_filter__default_avatar","um_get_option_filter__default_avatar", 10, 1);
   function um_get_option_filter__default_avatar( $option ){
     $option = "https://via.placeholder.com/250";
  return $option;
}

Regards,

Thanks, however it is not working.

I tried adding this to functions.php but I still see the old default avatar

add_filter("um_get_option_filter__default_avatar","um_get_option_filter__default_avatar", 999999, 1);
     function um_get_option_filter__default_avatar( $option ){
        $option = "https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/oceanbuilders.com/web_assets/default-avatar.svg";
        return $option;
     }
