 * Hi,
 * Is there a way to display the current users uploaded avatar using the avatar 
   shortcode? I have tried [avatar] but it only displays the admin avatar.
 * Thanks

 * I found the below on another thread which resolved the problem after trying a
   lot of things. So if the avatar for the “current user” is not showing correctly
   then try this. I added this into functions.php as part of a bigger function.
 * <?php
    global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); echo get_wp_user_avatar($
   current_user->ID, 96); ?>

 * Your php seems to specific a user ID – is that correct? Or is that defining the
   size?
