Gravatar // Changing white and blue circle
-
Hi, if you look at my wordpress blog, you will see there is a white circle with a blue pattern in the dead center of my header. When I go into edit mode, there’s a photo box next to it and I can roll my mouse over it and get ‘click to change logo.’ When I click it, nothing happens. My Gravatar is updated and I made sure it was enabled. I can see a profile photo in my wordpress account as well. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
WP.com: Yes
Correct account: YesThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

That’s rather odd, I can get it to display my Gravatar, but not yours. 🤔
Normally that’s a rating issue (some folks think rating a Gravatar as X means declining to rate), but not here, you rated it G.
And, of course, it’s displaying here, where we require a G-rated Gravatar too.
Do you have a larger original of this image you could upload to Gravatar and then set as your Gravatar? I’m wondering if that will be the kick this needs.

Hi @captainslog1043, I see some boxes. Looks like that was the most recent upload, right?
Gravatar is cached across many, many servers, though, so any update can take a hot minute to show up.
The big things to check are:
– Is the image “G” rated?
– Since Gravatar can support multiple email addresses, if you have more than one set up there, be sure you’ve assigned the image to it
Then just give it a little time, and the internet will catch up with any changes you make.

@captainslog1043 It depends on all the caching between your computer and the servers, and the servers and the main one you changed the image on. Sometimes it’s 15 minutes, sometimes a few hours. If it’s stuck longer than 24 hours, let us know; something might be stuck at that point.
The boxes are also your most recently uploaded gravatar, and that’s what I see. I see they are also the header image on the site.
If you don’t want the boxes as your gravatar image, can you please head to Gravatar.com and select the image you do want there?
Then, update us here; we can check to confirm it’s uploaded properly.

Also, I do want to clarify: typically if you change an image on your site, that will be reflected right away.
A Gravatar comes from different servers that are heavily cached, which is necessary for performance reasons.
In your case, the site layout uses that Gravatar, which can be frustrating if you’re trying to update the site itself right now. If you’ll need to be changing that top image often, you might consider using a theme that supports a logo, and update that instead. Those changes would be immediate.
