Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Avatar Tooltip

Because the avatar owner is registered neither to the blog nor to Gravatar. I think some existing gravatars are missing or not shown... We suggest that first of all you read the Gravatar FAQ.
Probably the default jQuery selector (#main ...) is not good for your theme. Look inside your theme html code and search for a class/id of your main content div: e.g. #content or something similar. Then, go in Settings > Avatar Tooltip and set up the new selector. This parent class is useful to avoid that the toolip is shown on undesired avatars (e.g. top Toolbar).
In Settings > Avatar Tooltip you can set up main options (main css theme, position). Then, you can edit axe-avatar-tooltip.css in plugin folder. A tip: copy this file to your theme directory and edit it there. Useful to prevent the loss of styles when you upgrade the plugin.
You can use the sample available at this link: the tooltips will show the user bio (description), a link to user recent posts, the links to social network profiles (as filled in profile by user). Everything taken locallly from blog, nothing from Gravatar profile.
You have some available filter hooks to manage the tooltip text. The following sample adds ugly debug info at the bottom of tooltip: function my_avatar_tooltip_content_after( $text, $user, $md5email, $grav_name, $grav_profile ) { if ( is_object($user) ) { $text .= '<br />USERDATA:<br /><pre style="color:#000">'. print_r( $user, true ) .'</pre>'; } if ( is_array($grav_profile) ) { $text .= '<br />GRAVATAR PROFILE:<br /><pre style="color:#000">'. print_r( $grav_profile, true . '</pre>'); } return $text; } add_filter('axe_avatar_tooltip_content_after', 'my_avatar_tooltip_content_after', 10, 5); The following sample replaces the account list (facebook, twitter...) with a link to Gravatar full profile: function my_avatar_tooltip_content_gravatar_accounts( $text, $md5email, $grav_profile ) { if ( isset( $grav_profile['profileUrl'] ) ) { return '<a href="'. esc_url($grav_profile['profileUrl']) .'" title="'. esc_attr( __('view complete profile on Gravatar', AXE_AT_PLUGIN_DIR) ) .'" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">' . __('view complete profile on Gravatar', AXE_AT_PLUGIN_DIR) .'</a>'; } else { return $text; } } add_filter('axe_avatar_tooltip_content_gravatar_accounts', 'my_avatar_tooltip_content_gravatar_accounts', 10, 3); You can look for more hooks inside plugin code. If you are brave, the function that returns the tooltip text is pluggable and you can replace it at all: create a php file in mu-plugins folder (if the folder does not exists, simply create it) add a new function called axe_at_tooltip_content (look for the orginal function inside plugin code to see how it works) from that moment, the plugin will load your custom function
