How can I change my gravatar image ALT text?

    Hey everybody, I recently added some PHP code so that the gravatar image will show an ALT text:

    function crunchify_gravatar_alt($crunchifyGravatar) {
    if (have_comments()) {
    $alt = get_comment_author();
    }
    else {
    $alt = get_the_author_meta(‘display_name’);
    }
    $crunchifyGravatar = str_replace(‘alt=”’, ‘alt=’Avatar for ‘ . $alt . ” title=’Gravatar for ‘ . $alt . ”’, $crunchifyGravatar);
    return $crunchifyGravatar;
    }
    add_filter(‘get_avatar’, ‘crunchify_gravatar_alt’);

    I was wondering how I can change that ALT image. I cannot find a way to do so on gravatar.com. The only instructions I found where these, but they do not work (gravatar does not have these options).

    Go to the Gravatar website (https://en.gravatar.com/) and sign in to your account.

    Click on the ‘My Profile’ tab.

    Under the ‘Name and Gravatar’ section, click on the ‘Edit’ button.

    In the ‘Gravatar’ section, click on the image to edit it.

    In the ‘Change Gravatar’ dialog box, click on the ‘Edit’ button next to the image.

    In the ‘Edit Image’ dialog box, you can enter your desired alt text in the ‘Alternative Text’ field.

    Any advice on this would be much appreciated!

    Hi there!

    You’ve posted to the free support forums for websites hosted here at WordPress.com. Since your site is not hosted with us, we’re limited in what we can help with and advise. But I can get you pointed in the right direction to get help.

    The good news is that because you use the open-source variant of the WordPress platform (which functions differently than what we offer here on WordPress.com), help is available at the community forums here:

    https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/

    The folks in the open-source forum are more familiar with these issues and are in the best position to help.

    I hope this points you in the right direction.
