  This problem was already raised here in 2014:
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/gravitar-verified-services?replies=5

  I’m still getting an error when I try to add Flickr as a verified service on my Gravatar page. It says:

  Failed to contact Flickr

  Flickr did not respond when we tried to verify your account. Please try again later.

  Go back and try again.

  From the Flickr forums I believe this is because Flickr changed to an all https API.

  Any news on this problem?

  Hi,

  On a more recent thread, a WordPress said, I quote:

  It’s no longer possible to add WordPress.com sites as verified services to Gravatar. The place to add them is to your websites. Here’s a direct link to that page.

  Thanks, the bug isn’t anything to do with adding a WordPress.com site as a verified service. You can’t add Flickr as a verified service.
