It looks like you may have found an issue that needs to be updated in ACF in regards to the avatar image. I tried this code as well and got the same results that you did.

Here’s why it wasn’t working:

– The code is using get_avatar which returns the avatar, but in an <img> element. So using that within the src attribute of another <img> is the issue here.

– Simply change ‘get_avatar’ to get_avatar_url which will only return the image’s source. See my example below.

– The user’s link isn’t working because that needs to be manually entered on the User’s profile. Go to a User’s profile in the admin and you will see a field named “Website”, this is what will be returned when using $user->user_url from the example code.

– I’ve added a conditional to my code example below, that will only wrap the User’s name in an <a> tag, if they have a $user->user_url stored on their profile. Otherwise it will just print out their name as text.

Here’s my example of the code, modified to fix the issue:

<?php
$users = get_field("volunteers");
if( $users ): ?>
  <ul class="volunteers-list">
    <?php foreach( $users as $user ): ?>
    <li>
      <img src="<?php echo esc_attr(get_avatar_url($user->ID)); ?>" alt="author-avatar"/>
      <?php if($user->user_url) : ?>
      <a href="<?php echo esc_attr($user->user_url); ?>"><?php echo $user->display_name; ?></a>
      <?php
      else :
        echo $user->display_name;
      endif;
      ?>
    </li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
  </ul>         
<?php endif; ?>
