Thanks. Advanced Customization For Front End Display By default, the plugin hooks into the following filters: the_content() and the_excerpt(). OVERRIDE HTML DISPLAY USING FILTER HOOK: gklpa_the_postavatar The gklpa_the_postavatar filter takes two parameters: $post_avatar_text – Original HTML display $post_avatar – Post Avatar data in array format. The keys are: avatar_url: The URL to the image show_image_dim: 1 indicates to show image dimensions, 0 to hide them image_height: integer value of image height or null if image dimensions is turned off image_width: integer value of image width or null if image dimensions is turned off post_id: ID of current post post_title: Post title for the image attribute image_name: Image file name Example: Display a default image if no avatar is selected This example makes use of the HTML/CSS settings defined by the site admin. add_filter( 'gklpa_the_postavatar', 'prefix_show_default_image', 10, 2 ); function prefix_show_default_image( $post_avatar_html, $post_avatar_array ){ global $post, $gklpa_plugin_settings; // Display default image; if( is_null( $post_avatar_array ) ){ if( !empty( $gklpa_plugin_settings['css_class'] ) { $css = 'class="' . $gkl_plugin_settings['css_class']. '"'; } $post_avatar_html = $gklpa_plugin_settings['html_before' ] . ' post_title) ) . '" />'. $gklpa_plugin_settings['html_after']; } return $post_avatar_html; } OVERRIDE HTML DISPLAY WITH CUSTOM CONTENT HOOK If you want to change the HTML completely or override the option to display avatars automatically, use the remove_filter() like so: remove_filter(‘the_content’, ‘gkl_postavatar_filter’, 99 ); remove_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘gkl_postavatar_filter’, 99 ); You can then define your own the_content filter function that makes use of the gkl_postavatar() or gkl_get_postavatar() functions You will need to use the function gkl_get_postavatar() which takes the post object and returns the array of post avatar information. $post_avatar_array – Post Avatar data in array format. The keys are: avatar_url: The URL to the image show_image_dim: 1 indicates to show image dimensions, 0 to hide them image_height: integer value of image height or null if image dimensions is turned off image_width: integer value of image width or null if image dimensions is turned off post_id: ID of current post post_title: Post title for the image attribute image_name: Image file name Example: add_filter( 'the_content', 'my_custom_post_avatar' ); function my_custom_post_avatar( $content ){ global $post; $current_avatar = gkl_get_postavatar( $post ); $html_before = ' '; $html_after = ' '; // Display default image if( is_null( $current_avatar ) ) { $image_url = 'http://wplatest.dev/images/default-image.jpg'; $alt_text = esc_attr(strip_tags($post->post_title) ); } else { $image_url = $current_avatar['avatar_url']; $alt_text = $current_avatar['post_title']; } $post_avatar_html = $html_before . ' '. $html_after; return $post_avatar_html; } OVERRIDE HTML DISPLAY WITH template tag gkl_postavatar If you want the post avatar to appear outside of the content, e.g. with the entry’s meta information, make use of the gkl_postavatar() template tag. It takes four paramters: class: CSS class to use in the ` ` tag. before: HTML to appear before the image. after: HTML to appear after the image. do_what: Use `echo` to display the post avatar, `return` to pass it to a variable. Defaults to `echo`. Example: In a template file: ", " " );?> -- more template tags here -- Or you can make your own template tag function like in the example for “Override HTML display with custom content hook”, except you call the function directly in your template instead of hooking into the_content(). For Administration Screens Add Post Avatar to Pages and Custom Post Types Use the filter hook gklpa_allowed_post_types to add further post types that you want the Post Avatar selection to appear on. It takes an array of post type slugs as a parameter. add_filter( 'gklpa_allowed_post_types', 'prefix_my_custom_post_types' ); function prefix_my_custom_post_types( $current_post_types ){ $current_post_types = array( 'post', 'page', 'review', 'event' ); return $current_post_types; } Enable Image Selection for Folder Outside of WordPress Installation By default, Post Avatar looks for your images folder in relation to your WordPress installation. If you want to move your folder elsewhere, use these pair of filter hooks: gklpa_image_url and gklpa_image_dir. They take a single parameter: Image folder url and absolute path to the image folder, respectively. add_filter( 'gklpa_image_url', 'prefix_change_folder_url' ); function prefix_change_folder_url( $current_url ){ return esc_url( 'http://mysite.com/images/' ); } add_filter( 'gklpa_image_dir', 'prefix_change_folder_dir' ); function prefix_change_folder_dir ){ return '/user/public_html/images/'; } Please visit the Post Avatar Page for details on customizing the avatar display.

This plugin adds a simple post-type drop-down to the post editor interface, allowing you to reassign any post to a new post type. It allows you to switch post’s type while editing your post. Supported Types The plugin can convert nearly every combination of posts, pages, and even custom post types: Page to Post Post to Page Post to Custom Custom to Custom As of 3.0.0, support for switching to or from Attachments was removed. This may come back in a subsequent version. Invisible post types, such as revisions, menus, etc., are purposely excluded. But, if you need to access invisible post types, you can adjust the boundaries using the ‘pts_post_type_filter’ filter. Bulk Editing With bulk editing (thanks to Matthew Gerring) you can select all the posts in a certain type and convert them to a new type with one quick action. Block Editor With block-editor (aka Gutenberg) support (thanks to Daniel Bachhuber) you can switch between post-types that use either the Block Editor and the Classic one, without losing any of your embedded content.
