  hi all

  im new but have spent 1 hour researching this bug on the net

  im using OSX, macbook air, i have a photo saved on desktop . JPEG format.

  photo on desktop is showing VERTICAL (correctly)

  but EVERY time I try to upload to GRAVATAR – photo uploads SIDEWAYS

  originally i saw it was called .jpg from my dropbox photos. so i saved and renamed .jpeg (to see if that made a difference)

  photo pulls up correctly in i-photo and shows correctly on desktop

  it does NOT show correctly on gravatar (sideways – it rotates itself right)

  losing my mind on this one.

  suggestions??

  many thanks,
  D

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Removing the Admin bar from the top of you blog is a ToS violation. I’m not saying you did that. I’m saying I don’t see one and that why I’m tagging this thread for Staff attention. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  ha,

  I am new and do not even know where the admin bar is

  right now i am going through and trying to learn EVERY module under LEARN WORDPRESS chapters

  its a process

  I never removed admin toolbar…. never even used it

  BUT to do all the customisation i need to do with my new site… I definitely need it

  Will someone from wordpress staff put it back?
  if so
  when?

  never even used it so no way i could have removed it… hmm, but i know i need it

  still just learning my way around, where everything goes, and the names of everything

  thank you so much for your help (on a sunday no less!)

  will try method you suggested above on rotation and revert back, its 8pm in italy right now, and ive been at all this since 11. taking a break : )
