I have been trying for a week to get it to show and cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. My cache is cleared several times a day so that cannot be the problem. I don’t know what it could be as it does show on “sterlingsays.wordpress.com” when I comment.

Go to users > your profile. Does your gravatar show up there?

If not, while logged into wordpress, go back to http://en.gravatar.com/ , click on “my account and then click on “add an image” and upload the image again.

It is best to upload an image that is sized to 128 x 128 pixels. Also make sure the file has an extension ( .jpg or .png or .gif as appropriate) and also make sure the file name has only letters and numbers – no special characters.

Also in your dashboard on your blog go to settings > discussion, scroll down near the bottom and make sure that “Show Avatars” is selected.

Thanks, I also heard from Hanni. I went to en.gravatar.com and discovered that I needed to change my rating from g to pg in order for the gravatar to work. It now seems to be working just fine. Again, thanks.

It can take an hour or so for it to propagate through the wordpress system.

OK, thanks I’ll check it again in the am on the test site.

I went to the test site this morning and my gravatar is still not showing here or here, though it is showing on my blog and my profile and when I post on some other blogs. It even shows in the address bar of my browser when I am on my blog.

We need a link to your blog.

I’m having a similar problem to roseshaw. My gravatar is uploaded and showing on my profile page but not my blog. Three days ago it appeared on my blog, both when I was signed in and when I wasn’t, but now I have a purple patterned square.

That was my first comment and, as you can see, said gravatar appears, but still, not on the blog. (Which is: http://eidetictraces.wordpress.com/ … just in case.) Thank you.

I see the same image here in the forum as on your blog.

Log out of wordpress, clear your browser cache and cookies, restart your browser and try again. Some browsers will tenaciously hang onto and use cache versions of web pages. IE is the worst at this.

Please don’t test in this thread. There is a sticky thread at the top of the off topic forum for testing gravatars.

Don’t test gravatars here. Test them in the stick post at the top of the off topic forum which was made especially for that purpose.
