timethief on "Commenters avatars don't show up (except WP accounts)"

For example, someone commenting with a Blogger account should definitely have an avatar but it doesn't show up.

Incorrect. Google owns Blogger and the avatars they use are not globally recognized Gravatars. Automattic owns both WordPress.com and Gavatar and every WordPress.com account is a Gravatar account so the Gravatars will display. http://gravatar.com/ Blogger avatars will not display on your blog.

I have the Settings > Discussion options set so avatars appear with comments but only those who comment using a WP account will have an avatar. I have it set to display the generic one when people don't have avatars but it displays for everyone, regardless. For example, someone commenting with a Blogger account should definitely have an avatar but it doesn't show up. I've tried switching it to the gravatar option but with that set it only shows the default Gravatar logo. Please help!

There is no such setting. Click the link to expand the display.

Is there a way to show more "Like"d avatars then the current one row of 15 that is showing now? I looked in the settings for an option but can't find one so am wondering if I overlooked it or it's not possible. Thank you.

A recent change to how the Likes avatars appear on my blogposts means that if there are more than four Likes, a dropdown scroll appears but only the first four avatars appear, with text indicating, say, 8 bloggers like this. Scrolling down does not show any more than those four Likers.

I think this new process kinda defeats the idea. I would like to see it changed back to the original, where all Likers' avatars appear. Thank you.

Yes I see - you're right. I have added in the link back to your blog again.

Hi Harry,

It looks like that was my error - I believe I have restored this for you now - could you check?

Cheers!

All fixed and thank you, can you tell me why the code under my badge has changed to another badge.

Hi there,

I have done some testing, and apparently it's because of the post titled Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia

When someone comments on the post, it brings it up in the Recent Comments widget, and the long title essentially "pushes" the Gravatar over, making it appear smaller and smaller, depending on the length of the title.

There are a few solutions/options:

* You can ignore it best you can (less than optimal)
* You can use smaller titles (I don't recommend this - it's too restrictive!)
* You can switch themes to something with a larger sidebar
* You can purchase the Custom Design upgrade and add the CSS to make that sidebar a bit wider to accommodate these longer titles and the Gravatars simultaneously (I personally like this option the best for you getting what you want looking just right, but the downside is that there is a cost involved)

Let me know if you'd like more information or you'd like help getting anything set up.

I'm very sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi Harry,

I also see the 32x32 size. It's puzzling that you're seeing something else. Can you grab a screenshot and upload it to your media gallery so I can get a closer look?

Sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime!

dribblingpensioner — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 22:52:14 +0000

As i said my PC is clean, they came back about half an hour ago, i don't know whats happening to them, as i said this never happens on my other blog, and i use chrome for both sites.

Okay. I just checked using Firefox 18 and I see the 32x32 size. Clear your browser cache and cookies please http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050 If that doesn't work then please upgrade your browser version http://browsehappy.com

The avatars in the sidebar have gone mini size, this has happened before. They are set to 32x32 and always have been.
This is the blog concerned http://poetscornerblog.wordpress.com/

My other blog is fine.

My PC is clean, so its something in the blog or wordpress

boles on "Blaskan Theme Commenter Avatars wrong size in "Recent Comments" sidebar widget"

boles — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 18:54:29 +0000

It's fixed, thanks! Commenter Avatars and now the correct size and the visual edit window is now properly behaving. I change the status to resolved.

boles on "Blaskan Theme Commenter Avatars wrong size in "Recent Comments" sidebar widget"

boles — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 00:52:52 +0000

Here's an interesting anomaly. Yesterday, I changed three of my blogs to the Blaskan theme. All three blogs are set to have sidebars with the same widget sets that I have edited for continuity across the blogs.

The http://BolesBlues.com "Recent Comments/Shared Thoughts" sidebar widget is not updating the right commenter Avatar size. It is stuck at its current size no matter what size I choose and save while editing the widget. I have tried changing the theme and changing it back and also removing and editing the Widget to no righting effect.

My http://GoInside.com and http://UrbanSemiotic.com blogs are set up with the same widget sets and there's no problem with the commenter Avatars getting resized.

On, perhaps, a similar note... in the Rich Text/Visual post editor for the Boles Blues blog, all the hotlinks are BRIGHT BLUE -- even if they have been visited -- while Go Inside and Urban Semiotic and the other blogs all reflect a "visited" status for previously viewed links.

Can a staff member do some sort of backend whammying to reset the Boles Blues Blaskan theme for me to correct these problems? Everything seems to be in a cached saved state for the theme and widgets no matter if I change/delete themes and widgets.

Thank you!

I don't believe this a gravatar issue, but a blog icon issue in WordPress. The gravatar works, for the most part. Am I wrong? They appear to be two separate things.

Still no resolution. My gravatar is updated, but it isn't displaying properly on my site and other sites that pull my gravatar. Another problem I see is that under Settings-General-Blog Picture/Icon where I had previously uploaded my image it isn't showing.

Hi,
I have a similar problem. I have changed my gravatar photo and when I´m logged in the new photo is shown but after logging out the profile shows my old photo that I already removed from the profile. Cleaned the cache memory but it didn´t help.

Hi there,
Gravatar images are cached and frequently take several days to display after a change. Do not keep uploading! The first place they tend to display is here in the forums and I see your Gravatar here. If several days have passed and that change is not in evidence then post here for Gravatar support > http://en.gravatar.com/site/contact-us/
