How do I change my profile picture?
-
I cannot get my profile picture to change. I also cannot get anyone at Support to respond to me, after four notes.
I have gone to the app under User and also under Gravatar. No change.

Hi there,
I can see that your Blavatar has been updated to a picture with a red background. Is that the one that you’re trying to change your Gravatar to?
Can you walk me through what happens when you click on the “Change your Gravatar” link under your profile image on your Dashboard > Users > My Public Profile? Are you able to upload an image but it doesn’t save or do you come across an error message?
-
No. I have a picture of me wearing a blue shirt. I have no idea where the red background picture is even stored.
I have uploaded the blue shirt picture numerous times. It shows as being the default picture but does not show up on the blog itself.

Are you with WordPress support? I have been trying to get a response from someone for weeks. I am grateful for any help.

Now I’m really lost. The image went away totally on this thread, so I went back and reloaded the avatar. Still nothing.
Help!!

Hi there,
I am with WordPress support team – I’m sorry for any delay in our response to your ticket! Feel free to send another one ATTN: evarlese so I can locate it in our database for you.
Regarding your Gravatar, it looks the image was deleted. Earlier, I saw the blue shirt picture as your Gravatar on your comment. Would you be able to go to your Dashboard > Users > My Profile page again and upload the image? Are you receiving any error message?
You may also need to log in at http://gravatar.com to update your primary image for your Gravatar. You can log into your Gravatar account using your WordPress log in information.

Thank you for getting back with me. I’m so frustrated and confused at this point, I can’t see straight. I have been at this for weeks.
I have done everything you said, but still the photo on the blog itself is the red brick background, not the blue shirt.
Help?

Hi there,
I can now see the Gravatar with the blue shirt on this comments thread. If it’s not currently showing up for you, can you try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies?
http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clear-your-cache-and-cookiesRegarding your blog avatar – or Blavatar – you can change that by going to your blog’s Dashboard > Settings > General and uploading a new image under “Blog Icon.”

Hi there,
When I go to your blog, it works for me. Can you give it some time and check to see if your Blavatar has been updated?
-
You must be looking at something else? On my blog, on the right side, is a picture of me in front of red brick. I am trying to the get the picture of the blue shirt to go there.
I do not know what you mean by waiting for the Bravatar to update. The photo on the blog is a profile picture, right? not an avatar.
-
I followed your earlier instruction to change the profile picture under General Settings – Blog picture. The blue shirt picture is there. It does not show up on the page.
-
I apologize! It sounds like you want to change the image that’s in your blog’s Sidebar. (For more information on Blavatars, please visit this site.)
You will first need to upload the blue shirt picture to your Media Library. Then, click on “Edit Image” and copy the File URL.
After this, head on over to your Appearance > Widgets and click on the Image Widget. In the text box underneath “Image URL,” paste the URL that you copied earlier. I hope this helps!

I need help on this, now, please…
