 * Hi,
 * Not sure exactly when this changed, but sometime in the last few months, the 
   wp REST api response started coming back with the default avatar for all authors,
   all the time.
 * It does seem to respect when I change the default (any of Gravatar’s ones, or
   the local default, all work), but it’s always the default one, never the author’s
   specific one.
 * I saw several threads from about 2 months ago that had a similar issue, but those
   were all using the php renderer as far as I can tell. Is it possible that the
   same fix needs to be applied to whatever function outputs to wp’s REST api?
 * Thanks!

 * smh, looks like I can’t edit the title… it’s meant to say “WordPress REST _api_
   always returns default”.
 * I blame autocorrect 🤷‍♂️

 * I have the same problem. Any idea why that is?
