# Remove Gravatar Field

 * Hello guys,
 * Is it possible to remove the Gravatar ([https://screenshot.net/pt/o8g70hp](https://screenshot.net/pt/o8g70hp))
   field?
    It is bad to show both (Gravatar field and the WP User Avatar field) 
   as this confuses the user.
 * And I also wanted to leave a suggestion … the name plugin very similar to yours,
   WP User Avatars ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-avatars/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-avatars/)),
   creates a frame that is shown at the top of the profile page. This makes editing
   easier.
    And it also automatically hides the Gravatar field. The problem is that
   the plugin did not work for me. I choose the image and nothing happens, the image
   does not appear.
 * So I leave here my suggestion for you guys to do the same, put the image edit
   at the top of the page and automatically delete the Gravatar field.
 * Thanks,
    Rodrigo

 * Hello [@erdivyang10](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erdivyang10/).
 * Before changing, I just wanted to know the following … if any user had inserted
   an avatar through Gravatar, and I removed the field from Gravatar, that user 
   will be able to change their avatar through WP User Avatar?
    Does WP User Avatar
   replace Gravatar? If I leave both fields, then the user can add their avatar 
   both by WP User Avatar and by Gravatar, is that it?
 * Thanks.

 * Hello,
    This hook will only remove the gravatar field from an edit profile page.
   if you have disabled the gravatar at back-end then local avatar will display 
   and if you are allowing gravatar then first gravatar will display (if user using
   gravatar) otherwise local avatar will display. yes your users can upload their
   local avatar easily.
 * Thanks
