• Hello

    Obviously I have a WordPress account or I wouldn’t be logged in. I desperately want to change my avatar. Instead of being sensible and letting me change it with a few clicks, I have to change it through something called Gravitar. So I try logging in using my WordPress account, and it won’t let me in.

    So what do I do?

  • Recover password? I don’t use gravatar so I’m not sure, you can get a plugin called simple local avatars (something along those lines) that just lets you upload the avatars to your own website rather than the gravatar thing.
    They really need to let you just do that through wordpress without gravatar anyway.

    With a lot of hassle I was able to do it 🙂

    What on earth? Why isn’t my new gravitar avatar working? 🙁

    So according to gravatar I have a nice new picture now, but the silly green alien is still my avatar for some reason.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I’m not clear from your message which account you are logging in to, wordpress.org or wordpress.com.

    To control your gravitar, you need to login or register at wordpress.com, not wordpress.org. Once in, go to Your account settings / Public profile / Profile photo. Upload a photo or image of choice.

    Without further effort, WordPress and wordpress.org will pull in that image and show it against your posts.

    For wordpress.com

    That site is using the avatar I uploaded to Gravatar. This site – http://www.wordpress.org is not using the Gravatar avatar.

    Are you using the same email address? The username does not have to be the same.
