Hi,

I need to completely cut off calls from Gravatar.com because my readers are from China (China is blocking Gravatar.com)

Going to Settings > Discussion and unckecking “Show Avatars” only results in author image (in author box) being empty altogether.

I tried WP User Avatar and Basic User Avatars plugins, but their “local avatar” is tied to “Show Avatars”. If unchecking “Show Avatars”, author image will disappear.

Is there solution for having author image displayed in posts, but also cut off Gravatar.com completely?

Thanks,

Dao

Hello,
Our theme uses gravatar because it is te default wordpress avatar system. You can use a plugin to override this.
Something like: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-avatar/ which gives you an option to disable gravatar and only use the plugin: http://screencast.com/t/83jiVbNhGn
Thank you!
