  As site admin, why is my personal gravatar showing up beside comments made by others at my WordPress blogsite – it has just started happening – go to https://dunedinstadium.wordpress.com/ and, for example, to comments such as https://dunedinstadium.wordpress.com/2015/03/11/mosgiel-pool-trust-plainly-hasnt-got-7-5m-community-support/#comment-60707 and https://dunedinstadium.wordpress.com/2015/03/11/mosgiel-pool-trust-plainly-hasnt-got-7-5m-community-support/#comment-60709

  ???

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

  Same for me. It just started today. I edited a reader’s comment to correct a typo then my Gravatar appeared next to the comment.

  Just noticed that 10park and I are using the same blog theme, Pilcrow. Might be relevant.

  My site: twickerati.wordpress.com

  After updating the comment and approving, the gravatar displayed with that comment is that of mine instead of the original comment author. This was not happening before and happened for a couple of comments I updated today. Is it an issue anyone is aware of and what is the remedy? The blog I need help with is yoganspirituality.wordpress.com. Example comment ids 2678, 2659

  Glad to see(!?) the gravatar thing’s happening for others not just at my website. Hopefully WordPress will remedy soonish.

  If a comment it´s changed or has timestamp updated, the gravatar (profile picture) is change from the author to the changer

  Hi everyone,

  The Gravatar issue should indeed be resolved. Could you let me know if you’re having any additional trouble?

  The problem reported on April 2,2015 is not yet resolved. How many more days it will take to be set right ? Earliest compliance is solicited.
