Gravatar picture not showing
-
I’ve tried twice now over the past two days to get my gravatar pic to appear. It says it may take up to an hour but it’s been two days. When I go to my profile I can see the pic but when I’m commenting or looking at my blog while logged out, the pic isn’t there. What am I doing wrong?
-
Hi. Please confirm which username you are talking about and which avatar you are talking about: the one linked to your username or the one linked to your blog.
-
Well, my username is right there – allthemaniacal. I thought the avatar was linked to both, so I don’t understand what you mean when you say linked to username or to blog. The avatar itself is two little skeletons. It’s right there on my profile when I go to it, but never shows up when I leave comments and things like that. It’s that annoying pink thing.
-
There are two types of avatars: a Gravatar (username) and a Blavatar (blog), hence my question.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/If you provide us with the URL of your blog, we can perhaps confirm if you actually changed the Gravatar or the Blavatar.

This is how to link your username to your blog. Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to Account Details. Then scroll down to where it says ‘Website‘ select the URL for your primary wordpress.com blog and then save changes.Now every time you sign into the forum we can all click on your username and your blog will be linked to it. And every time you leave a comment on a blog your username can be likewise clicked and your blog can be instantly located.
It’s my experience that gravatar take time to show up. In some cases days. They show up first here in forum threads. You can check out the FAQ’s on the gravatar site as it contains common questions and answers to them.

I did that and set the gravatar to my email. The URL is set in the “website” section of account details. Still not showing.

Check out the FAQ given by timethief. I believe you’ll find the email address for Gravatar support there.

In case anyone else sees this thread, the reason the Gravatar wasn’t showing in this case was because it was rated R and most sites are setup to only display G-rated Gravatars. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/why-wont-gravatar-appear?replies=2

Hi… I set up a gravatar image to show up in relation to my email address… but it won’t display on my wordpress blog. It’s been over an hour since I uploaded a graphic to the gravatar site… but it still doesn’t seem to be working. Any thoughts?

@randylahaie: I see a Gravatar at the moment (a picture of you?).
If you still don’t see it, try clearing your cache memory. -
Hi there, I have a similar problem with my gravatar/blavatar. It is rated PG. Why? How can flowers be rated PG? And how do I change this rating to a G? Any ideas?
-
@zoeyzeldor: Click on the link provided in designsimply’s response above. It says how to change the rating.

Hello again, I couldn’t wait for a reply. Go to this page for info: http://en.gravatar.com/site/faq/#answer-1-3.
Or go to your gravatar account then “manage your gravatar”, point your mouse on the image below. On the right side of the image, you’ll see a red cross; leave it alone. You’ll also see a black letter(s). This is what you want to click on to change your pic’s rating to G. Now, will my gravatar show up? -
