 * Hi I’m trying to use the [avatar] shortcode in a front-end user dashboard. I’ve
   uploaded my avatar but the dashboard picture still shows the mystery man.
 * Here’s the code that I have:
 *     ```
       function ss_get_current_avatar(){
           $user = wp_get_current_user();
           echo get_avatar($user->ID, 96);
       }
   
       function add_gravatar_class($class) {
           $class = str_replace('class="avatar', 'class="avatar welcome_avatar', $class);
           return $class;
       }
       ```
   
 * Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advanced.
