I think the problem here is that the plugin appears to override custom avatars with the default blue Gravatar icon.
I came here looking into just this problem. I installed Easy Author Image 1.5 and the author photos seem to work fine, but all the comments on the site switched to the default Gravatar icon from the custom one I had set up.
I also see the problem on the Discussion Settings page in WP admin, where all the icons listed changed from the various 32×32 images to a single 64×64 Gravatar logo repeated over and over for each option.
The problem seems to be in easy-author-image.php
line 218. The Gravatar URL does not include a fallback path for the custom avatar set up for the site. I’m not familiar with this core functionality off the top of my head but I suspect there’s a WP function that should be called here instead of using a hard-coded gravatar.com URL. (This will also all for loading gravatars via SSL, which is also currently unsupported.)
I am having this same exact problem. In one location it will have my gravatar and in other posts it just has a the blue gravatar logo.
Nevermind that last post, I added this code to where I needed the photo. The code in the theme I was working with was bad.
‘<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), ’48’ ); ?>’

Hi, can you pls explained where did you enter that code? thanks in advance
I did an inspect element of the where the photo should be, I saw some funky code that was pointing at the blue gravatar icon. That code is what I search for in the single.php file. Replace the code that you found through the inspect element with the one I posted and it should work.
(You might want to look for a blog.php file, I’m working with an avada theme)
This was just for the author though, I have not tested it for comments.
*note: if it does work for you but the image is too big or too small, adjust the last number in the code ’48’ to whatever size you need.

For the sake of the other people getting email notifications from this issue, let’s try to keep the off-topic stuff like theme modification out of these comments. These are probably better off in a new thread in the general WP support forums. Thanks.
