# 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?](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164383?replies=4)
 * 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 –
