Display current logged in user's avatar outside of the loop?

Question

I use the famous User Photo plugin for my Wordpress site. I want to display the current logged in user's avatar outside the loop. How is this possible?

The current code I use to display the author avatar inside the loop is:

<?php userphoto_the_author_thumbnail('', '', array(width => '40', height => '40')); ?>

Google did not give me much to go on. One person referred to this code:

global $authordata;
$authordata=get_userdata(get_query_var( 'author' ));
userphoto_the_author_thumbnail();

But it did not work. What is the solution?

And what loop are you referring to? – dbf Sep 10 '12 at 13:03 — dbf, Sep 10 '12 at 13:03

Try the below code.

It will select the current logged-in user's email and then display the avatar.

<?php
    wp_get_current_user();
    $current_user_email = $current_user->user_email;
?>
<?php echo get_avatar( '$current_user_email', 40 ); ?>

Use userphoto_thumbnail() and pass the user ID explicitly.

Usage:

userphoto_thumbnail($user, $before = '', $after = '', $attributes = array(), $default_src = '')

This actually worked! However, how do I get the width/height in there? If you look at my original code, you will see: **array(width => '40', height => '40'** – Gary Woods Sep 10 '12 at 13:08
Replace `$attributes = array()` with `array(width => '40', height => '40')` – Gabriel Harper Sep 10 '12 at 13:09
Excellent, works perfectly. Thank you for saving me further hours of confusion. – Gary Woods Sep 10 '12 at 13:13

Please try one of thes two.

userphoto($user, $before = '', $after = '', $attributes = array(), $default_src = '')

or

userphoto_thumbnail($user, $before = '', $after = '', $attributes = array(), $default_src = '')

Both function work same as userphoto_the_author_thumbnail

thanks

`$attributes` is for different parameter,you can assign `width,height,style` different in it. for eg. $attributes = `aeeat('width'=>40,'height'=>40,'style'=>'border:0')`. – Er. Anurag Jain Sep 10 '12 at 13:24
