How to remove gravatar picture on homepage?

    I just activated a new theme for my WP site, and when I go to upload a new cover photo, I also see a picture of me right in the middle of the cover photo (I think this is my gravatar picture, if I’m remembering correctly).

    How do I remove this picture of myself (gravatar) so I only see my cover photo for my background picture?

    To see what I mean, check out my site at: http://dwightvanm.com

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

    Hi there. Your theme was designed to display the Gravatar there, and I don’t see any way to prevent it. You can remove your email address under Customize ->Theme options, but then it will still display a blank Gravatar.

    If you have the Premium upgrade you can use CSS to remove it. Add the following code to the CSS panel in the Customizer:

    .site-logo-link {
	visibility: hidden;
}

    See here for more instructions on using CSS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/

    Here’s another question:

    I have my Facebook sharing set up for when I release my blogs, but why is it that my blog post shows up as a link on my wall but not on my newsfeed for all my friends to see?

    How would I get my blog link to show up on both my Facebook newsfeed and my wall?

    Thanks,

    Are you posting to your personal Facebook profile or to a page? If a page, your friends will have to follow the page to see the updates in their news feeds. If your personal profile, make sure your privacy settings isn’t set to only you.

    However, this could also be due to the way Facebook displays content. It never shows all your posts to all your friends/followers, regardless of whether it’s on your page or profile, and their algorithms are heavily biased against auto-posted content like posts posted via Publicize. They do this mainly so we will pay them to show the posts to more people.

    To ensure the maximum number of people see your posts, post them to Facebook manually instead along with a unique description in addition to the preview Facebook automatically generates. Also like and comment on your own posts, for the more activity a post has, the more likely Facebook is to show it to more people
