Gravatar plugin vs. core code?

    Hi, all!

    I’m using WordPress 2.6, and I’ve installed a theme that uses the Gravatar plugin. Unfortunately, all of the Gravatars displaying on the blog’s comments seem stuck on the default “G” icon, rather than the “Identicon” default option I’d prefer.

    When I view the comments off the WP dashboard, the default Gravatars display as intended.

    Is there any chance the plugin is clashing somehow with the core code? The theme’s using the WP plugin from the gravatar.com site. Would it be better if I turned that off and implemented the code from this solution instead?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi there,

    I have the following code in my single.php

    Its supposed to pull the Gravatar for the relevant author who has written the post and display their name as well within each single post. Similar code is within my comments.php and this works fine.

    I can’t understand what I am missing – I’m no expert!

    Thanks in advance –

    // Determine which gravatar to use for the user
