You need to upload a gravatar image as that is what will display in that spot. Gravatar and WordPress.com are together forever.
http://blog.gravatar.com/2013/04/03/gravatar-and-wordpress-com-together-forever/After you log into your WordPress.com blog, you can upload your gravatar image here > Dashboard > Users > My Profile.
See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/blavatars/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/gravatars/
For best practices for uploading gravatars, avatars and blavatars scroll down to below the video here: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/24/gravatar-avatar-blavatar/Do note that it will not change instantly because the images are cached and that means it takes time ie. sometimes a couple of days for them to change.
To enable Gravatar display and hovercard display on your blog go to > Settings > Discussion and scroll way done the page to “Avatars”.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/gravatar-hovercards/ That’s also where you can set an maximum rating and default avatar for gravatar display on your blog. -

Do note that it will not change instantly because the images are cached and that means it takes time ie. sometimes a couple of days for them to change. So how long has it been since you uploaded a gravatar image?

Oh i did it this morning. I thought it would work since it’s showing up everywhere else. sorry.

No problem. If it is not displaying tomorrow return to this thread and type modlook into the tags in the sidebar for Staff help.

Could you please try making your email all lowercase under Appearance > Customize > Theme?

Is it possible to remove the avatar placeholder altogether from Fictive? I can see a preview that does not include the circle for the avatar and vastly prefer it.

Hi Nick, if you remove your email address from Appearance > Customize > Theme, the Gravatar should disappear.
From the theme documentation:
By default, Fictive uses the email address found under Users → Personal Settings to generate the Gravatar seen in the header. If you want to use a different Gravatar account, you can put in an email address in the Gravatar Email field, or leave it blank to remove the Gravatar entirely.
Just let me know if you have any trouble with it.

I changed my gravatar 4 days ago and the picture in the circle is still the default image. What can I do about this?
