  I already have a WP site. I was trying to change my profile picture and it took me to the Gravatar site which then created a new WP site (this one) that I do not want! UGH. This is so frustrating. A. Need to delete this WP. Kristafulbright@kristafulbright. B. Need into to change my profile picture without creating a new WP site.

  I don’t have a site linked to this WordPress.com account

  Trying to change profile pic on another WP site. Took me to Gravatar and then it created this WP kristafulbright@kristafulbright – which I do not want. Why can’t I simply change my profile image on my site without adding a plugin or creating a Gravatar account? Please email me at (email visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hey @kristafulbright, I see you closed your account here. To clarify, you have to have a WordPress.com account to use Gravatar. You don’t have to have a site here, you just need an account so you have something to add an image to.

  If you want to keep the name @kristafulbright or have a Gravatar with that email, please reply to the account closure email and ask them to reactivate. Then you can set up your Gravatar. You’ll log in with that account to make updates to it. I hope this helps!
