Hello!
I made this site http://www.questeistituzioni.it
we have lots of people writing in it, some of their not so young in order to configure thier gravatar pic so i installed “WP User Avatar” plugin in order to upload myself their profile pic.
But… now gravatar doesnt’t work, as i can’t see the images i uploaded by the plugin.
I want to make the plugin work or to restore the theme functionality (i have overwritten via ftp the original theme but situation didn’t change)
May u help me?
thank you!
Lucio
Simple way to use Gravatars in current version is to turn off the WP User Avatar plugin, and then for each user/author, ( WP admin > settings > user > username ) simply put in their email address for each user – the theme will then grab the image from gravatar without having to do anything else.
I believe there will be an option somewhere down the road, based on Radu’s feedback, to upload a local image for a user in place of pulling the gravatar. You may also need to have gravatars “on” from the discussion option page, but not sure about that one.
Hope that helped.
Yes, but i turned off the WP User Avatar plugin, the gravatar option in discussion option page is ON, but now i can’t see the gravatars of the authors that have one configured, like in this page http://www.questeistituzioni.it/author/federico-stoppa
seems like the theme function doesn’t work after installing and turning off the WP User avatar plugin đ
Hmm. Just for fun I took a peek at your source code…
The image being called in your source code is as so:
<img alt='' src='http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/abf051490d0c32a77ab8a253ddd26a0f?s=106&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D106&r=G' class='avatar avatar-106 photo' height='106' width='106' />
Laoding that image in a web browser works fine simply as
http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/abf051490d0c32a77ab8a253ddd26a0f?s=106&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D106&r=G
So, the image not showing may be a restriction that Gravatar is having on your domain/location, or something is breaking that in the browser, possibly another plugin or code which is causing that element to not render. The theme does appear to be inserting the correct code there. So, not sure what is up with that.
It *does* work, as with my page here: http://ga-ga.com/author/csimmons/
Yes! I turned off the “Author Avatars List” plugin i used in “contact” pages and gravatars now work. Searching for a new plugin that shows a author list,
thank you!
