changing identities for multiple blogs under one profile
-
Note that a WordPress.com account is also a gravatar.com account
You have two separate email address settings at WordPress.com.
Blog notifications for the admin (like comment moderation, Likes, new subscriptions, etc) are sent to the email address at Settings -> General in the Dashboard.
Personal notifications (like comments on your post, subscription emails, and upgrade renewals) are sent to the email address at Users -> Personal Settings in the Dashboard.
Try changing it at http://wordpress.com/#!/settings/ first.
If that doesn’t work, try Users -> Personal Settings in your blog’s Dashboard.
Note: After the change you will receive an confirmation email. Please be sure to check your spam/junk mail filter in your email client, if you cannot locate it.

Hi – thank you Timethief. I checked in both blogs/profiles and in both places (Settings -> General and Users -> Personal Settings) everything is already fine. I really believe the problem is with the Gravatars. Can you or someone please answer questions a, b, or c above??? The only reason I can fathom this is happening is because at one point I had BOTH emails and BOTH images in the srinderle gravatar. The gravatars CHANGED retroactively next to my comments in the Evolving2012 blog (jaxsine2), showing the image from srinderle and they’re still like that even though I changed the email addresses in the comments. Something is wrong with the GRAVATAR profiles I’m pretty sure.

You can control your Gravatar profile via http://en.gravatar.com/
Just log in, and you’ll be able to control your email addresses and gravatars.

Thanks Timethief — Macmanx, I’ve already been in there multiple times and I have yet found a way to delete items, only add.

Hi macmanx. can you please be more specific and give me some steps? Under manage my gravatars? Edit my profile? I’m not finding any place to even call up what email addresses are associated with this gravatar. I did, however, discover how to delete an image – hover mouse over and an X comes up! HOORAY! Almost there……
-
Under Manage My Gravatars, you’ll see all of your email addresses listed: http://en.gravatar.com/emails/
Then, click on the desired email address, and click “Delete this email address”.
-
OK so no other emails are listed there, does that mean there aren’t any? If so, I still don’t understand why I’m getting emails to BOTH my separate emails for this thread AND the gravatar image for srinderle is still showing up on comments for my Evolving 2012 blog (under jaxsine2) even after I change the email address in the comment. And it wasn’t this way before. Shouldn’t WP associate one email address with one gravatar? I don’t understand why this changed or how to fix it, this puts me at risk….
-
Ok, maybe I’m confused as to the issue.
Did you leave a comment on another blog where you want the Gravatar to be different? If so, would you please give me a link to the comment?
-
Hi! It is confusing. The thread will give you the history, but I’ll try to summarize. Blog #1 (Evolving 2012) was set up over a year ago to be anonymous, but was associated with email (email visible only to moderators and staff). I created Blog #2 recently (Purple Lyrics), not intended to be anonymous, but under the same profile. I figured out there was no way to keep both under the same profile and keep Blog #1 anonymous. So I created a new account and profile under email jax7463@gmail and transferred Blog #1 to it. I adjusted the gravatars, emails, and gravatars appropriately.
However, now my comments on my OWN blog, Blog #1, Evolving 2012, are suddenly showing up with the gravatar image from Blog #2, which is my picture!!!! It’s an anonymous blog and so this is a problem. I have done everything I can think of to make the gravatar image go back the way it was, which is the gravatar image associated with the Blog #1 Evolving 2012 profile (jaxsine 2) and email jax7563@gmail.
Does that help?
-
Would you please give me the URL of the private blog so I can investigate the issue? I can’t find any accounts under the email address you listed for it.
-
Hi! Sorry for the delay I didn’t get your response! I assume you mean the anonymous blog? Sure: http://evolving2012.wordpress.com/

-
Ok, that all seems to be fine.
My only guess at this point is that you were just logged in as the wrong account when you left the comment.
When leaving a comment, there is a “change/logout” link near the bottom-right of the comment form which I recommend using next time.
-
Hi! Nope, at the time I left the comments, there was only ONE account. The gravatars changed after the fact, and I have no idea why or how, much less how to fix it!!
-
At the time you left the comments, only the srinderle account existed or the jaxsine2 account?
-
-
Ok, that’s why those comments still show the gravatar they were left under, because they were left under that account and email address.
Only the blog’s admin can change that once a comment is left.
-
Hi! But the gravatars (for older comments) changed after the fact, and I AM the blog admin. How do I fix this? I cannot have my photo on this blog!
