<p>Twitter avatar reloaded Plugin adds a new field to the comment form to get the user’s Twitter username and stores it together with comments and using it replaces gravatar with twitter avatar when the comment is displayed.</p>
<p>This Plugin works seamlessly and you don’t need to edit your theme files to add the new field to the comment form. It automatically adds it when activated.</p>
<p><strong>Note: Because of the changes in the way Twitter API works, from v2.0 of the plugin you need to create a twitter app and provide the access key and token. Refer to the installation instructions to find out how to do this</strong></p>
<h3>Template functions</h3>
<p>This Plugin provides 7 template functions which you can use in your theme to customize the way the comment author’s twitter id/profile should be displayed.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>get_comment_author_twitter_id($comment_id)</code> – Get the Twitter id of the comment author</li>
<li><code>comment_author_twitter_id($comment_id)</code> – Print the Twitter id of the comment author</li>
<li><code>get_comment_author_twitter_url($comment_id)</code> – Get the Twitter profile url of the comment author</li>
<li><code>comment_author_twitter_url($comment_id)</code> – Print the Twitter url of the comment author</li>
<li><code>get_comment_author_twitter_profile_image($comment_id)</code> – Get the twitter profile image url of the comment author</li>
<li><code>comment_author_twitter_profile_image($comment_id)</code> – Print the twitter profile image url of the comment author</li>
<li><code>get_twitter_profile_image($twitter_username)</code> – Get the twitter profile image of a user using twitter id</li>
</ul>
<h3>Styling using CSS</h3>
<p>By default the Plugin uses the class <code>comment-form-twitter</code> for the new twitter field. You can add CSS to that field or you can change the class in the Plugins setting page.</p>

Twitter Avatar Reloaded

Stores Twitter username together with comments and replaces gravatar with twitter avatar.

Pixelite

<p>This is a very simple and lightweight plugin that anonymizes default avatars and prevents the user’s gravatar being automatically obtained from gravatar.com based on their registered email. This would be useful for sites where users require an extra layer of privacy, or if you just want to prevent potentially silly or embarrasing avatar accidents.</p>
<p>If you’re using Identicons or any other generated default avatar, the user should keep a consistent avatar unless they change their registered email.</p>
<p>You can also disable Gravatar completely and choose a default image to display.</p>
<p>This plugin is also compatible with other avatar customization plugins such as <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/avatar-manager/" rel="ugc">Avatar Manager</a>, <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/" rel="ugc">BuddyPress</a> or <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-new-default-avatar/" rel="ugc">Add New Default Avatar</a>, since this plugin specifically prevents the gravatar of a specific user email being used and reverts to the default or user-defined avatar.</p>
<p><strong>Important 3.0 Update – BuddyPress users should visit the Settings > Discussion page on your dashboard and choose one of the Disable Gravatar options to restore previous behavior.</strong></p>

Disable User Gravatar

The plugin is a must-have for each WordPress installation. One can't process the email of the user (personal information) to create a hash and sent it to a remote server without consent of the user.

Must-have

Stops WordPress from grabbing a user avatar using their registrated email from gravatar.com.
