How to change rating?

    I have a (free) wordpress. com website. At one time I set my Avatar to “PG”… and since then I can’t find any way to set it back to “G”. And now Facebook is blocking all of my website’s posts as “violating community standards”?
    How does one change the rating back to the default?

    Hi there,

    Your Gravatar rating does not have anything to do with Facebook blocking your site. All that rating does is determine whether or not your Gravatar image would actually appear somewhere – site owners can decide if they only want to allow G-rated gravatars to appear when someone comments on their site, for example.

    In any case, your Gravatar image is rated G, not PG, else it wouldn’t be visible on this forum thread. You can change your rating by logging into Gravatar.com, and clicking on an image on this page:

    https://en.gravatar.com/emails/

    Facebook blocking your site is an unrelated issue, and we don’t know why they’re doing it. This has been happening to several sites across WordPress.com. We have been trying to reach out to Facebook to see if we can find out why, but they haven’t been replying to us, so at the moment the only option is for you to contact their support yourself to ask them to review this block on their end.
