Setting up the Gravatar plugin for WordPress 2.7 (3/3)
Description
In the third of three videos on Gravatars, Derrick Siu of the Net Experiment explains how to add the Gravatar plugin to your self-installed WordPress blog. While Gravatar is now included in-core, the plugin offers some extra functionality.

I think this is fantastic. Is there any way to tell which wordpress blog is using gravatar?

Sorry – lame video. Basically how to install a plugin…
And there is a Gravatar settings in that big button right below where you were looking. It’s even visible on the video. Maybe a little prep time was in order?

Thanks

teamtarmac – are you using WordPress.com or a self-hosted WordPress blog? WordPress.com blogs don’t support plugins, so that could be why you don’t see it

So what’s the difference between this plug-in and the gravatar option built-in to WordPress? Or am I getting confused into thinking WordPress has gravatar-support built-in because it shows a blue gravatar icon for ‘unknown’ users?
With regards

Derrick – i have a WordPress.com site that has the option to set up your gravatar & i did. ~ it populated everywhere i could see…Great ~
i have since set up a WordPress.org site and have updated to 2.7.1 and i don’t see anyway to activate my gravatar For That Site.
the .com site & the .org sites are Different url’s – i was able to add the plug in For Comments, but it doesn’t seem to be including the .org site/url in Showing my gravatar in the Browser bar etc?
Please help…
thx, Geoff

Geoff, it sounds like you might be looking to add a blavatar – the little version of your gravatar that appears in the corner of your browser’s address bar? I’m afraid those are on WordPress.com only at the moment. However, there are lots of plugins to help you achieve the same effect on a self-hosted blog. This is discussed a lot in the WordPress.org forums – one example here. If you run a search for “Favicon” from the plugin browser, (Plugins > Add New) that should come up with a plugin that does the job. If you have any other problems on the self hosted side, the WordPress.org forums are lively and there’s usually someone at hand to lend a hand.

I can’t figure out why only my gravatar (the author) only shows up, I tried this plugin but it didn’t change anything.

Your theme probably doesn’t have support for gravatars in the comments.

How can I upload gravatar code in wordpess easily as when using in wordpress.com
May 18, 2009 at 4:29 am
You can’t add the Gravatar code to the WordPress.com themes, but don’t worry: it’s already there!

Thats a great discussion about the Gravatar. Could I change the site gravatar without installing the plugin. How do I do it? Thanks!
