  Has the “Like” button been “under construction” or something in the last 48 hours? Every time I click it to Like a post, the “broken image” icon appears instead of my gravatar, and my Like does not register. If I click on the icon I see the message “No input file specified.”

  The gravatar appears just fine on comments. But often I prefer to leave only a Like and no comment.

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

  That’s weird. The like button is working for me. I’m on Windows 7 using FF29.

  P.S.I don’t see any image issue here http://en.gravatar.com/windwhistle so I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up.

  D’oh. As usual, I forgot to check other browsers. The problem seems to be with Chrome. Firefox works fine. Sorry, WP, looks like it’s probably not your fault. BTW, I’m on a MacBook Pro. And rebooting didn’t make any difference in the behavior of the two browsers.

  This is happening to me too! Seems to be only in Chrome browser. :( Sadness!

  Hey there,

  Can you check if temporarily disabling your antivirus, firewall programs and Chrome extensions helps? Clearing your browser cache and cookies may do some good too.

  Note that clearing your cookies will require you to log back in.

  Let me know what happens. Thanks!

  Hi druesome. Working late, eh?

  I turned off my antivirus, firewall (which wasn’t on) and Chrome extensions, and tested on someone’s blog. No problems, Gravatar showed up as expected.

  Have not yet cleared the browser cache, which is no problem, but am loathe to clear all the cookies. Lord knows what evil and inconvenience I’d unleash by deleting all my cookies. Are there some specific ones you have in mind?

  I guess now the trick is to turn the extensions back on one by one to see which if any of them break the gravatar again.

  All the extensions are back on now and the Gravatar is working as expected. Guess it was just one of those weird glitches. Sorry to have bothered you.

  Hi there!

  Glad to hear things worked out.

  Hi druesome. Working late, eh?

  No worries, it’s only 4pm where I am :)

  Have a nice weekend!
