 * Trying to change get_avatar to get__wp_user_avatar… I get this “Unable to communicate
   back with site to check for fatal errors, so the PHP change was reverted. You
   will need to upload your PHP file change by some other means, such as by using
   SFTP.”
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcant-alter-php-code%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
