Managing Avatars

  • I’m new to WordPress, and I’d like to be able to manage the thumbnail avatars of my user profiles. I’ve created an account with gravitar.com and it works fine, but it appears that the selected gravitar is only linked to a single e-mail address. Is there a way of managing avatars for multiple users so that I don’t have to bother them with setting up their own accounts on gravitar.com and then having to have a separate e-mail address for each gravitar? I was hoping to be able the profiles (including avatars/gravitars) from within a single admin logon. Is there a plugin for uploading avatars?

  • Use one of the generated gravatars like Wavatar or MonsterID. They’re created on demand, so no one has to set up an account anywhere. See Admin/Settings/Discussion

    You’re correct that on gravatar.com, each gravatar is linked to a single email address (though you can upload multiple images, and change the one that’s associated with a particular email address).

    But it’s also true that a single gravatar.com account can manage multiple email addresses (I have three email addresses on mine). While I think the intent was to allow one to manage multiple email addresses which all belonged to the gravatar account holder, I don’t see why you couldn’t use your account to manage the gravatars of other people as well.

    Have you tried it?
