Hello, my dear. Is the plugin still being developed? We are currently using WP 6.6.1. Your plugin works great and is very helpful when you have to comply with the GDPR. I would like to continue using it in the future. Please update to the latest WordPress version. Thank you very much!

Zuerst war ich begeistert, dann aber spielte wohl mein Theme nicht mit, da es nicht kompatibel scheint – das liegt aber wohl NICHT am PlugIn – deshalb lasse ich die 5 Punkte stehen …

Great for a few reasons…
* really nice server-generated avatars ??
* can even not use Gravatar at all (and hide the checkbox) with a small snippet by the plugin author in your functions.php: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/upload-from-media-libraty/#post-12792654
* making Gravatar GDPR-safe
* simple to use

If your site is in the EU, this plugin is fantastic for GDPR compliance. Users appreciate it as well.

With all the regulations of GDPR starting a blog has become a lot more difficult. There are tons of things you have to keep in mind. In particular you have to make sure that your visitors data is not unnecessarily shared with services like Gravatar.
This plugin solves that problem easily and allows you to use other avatars instead of completely deactivating them. Great work and a bless for anyone who wants (or needs) to respect the privacy of their users!

Simple, efficient, why is this not part of WP core?

Genau das, wonach ich gesucht habe. Zwar baue ich meine Website gerade erst auf, umso wichtiger so ein nützliches, kleines Helferlein jetzt schon gefunden zu haben. Keine Probleme, macht nen tollen Eindruck. Danke!

Damit w?re der letzte Punkt endlich erledigt: Keine Einbindung der Avatar-Icons über fremde Server.
Funktioniert perfekt mit WP 5.3 und einer ganzen Reihe Plugins zusammen. Keine Schwierigkeiten.
Vielen Dank!

Thank you so much for this plugin! No problems with DSGVO/GDPR and several Options for Avatars. Perfect!

This plugin makes it possible to use Gravatars without compromising privacy (“Datenschutz” in German).
Thanx for the plugin and I agree with other reviewers: This functionality should be in core.

One suggestion:
add an (unbreakable) space in the comment form option between the checkbox and the label.
It’s in avatar-privacy/public/partials/comments/use-gravatar.php, line 60. I have added it, but will lose it again after the next plugin update ??

thank you for making such a helpful and useful plugin in times of GDPR resp. DSGVO in Germany.

Thank you very much for this plugin. There is no extra dashboard in WP necessary. It′s only extending the setting-area of your user and the discussion-settings. So you can make your comments with a view klicks agreeing to the DSGVO.
It run′s very well on my studiopress-theme.

Excellent plugin with pro support! Had a rather tricky issue on Windows — which the developer doesn’t use — and he went the extra mile to comprehend, install a Windows VM to debug, and finally fix.
From all the features, I like the cache thing that keeps the varied collections of avatars offered by the plugin saved locally, avoiding that way the constant hitting of outside services that may slowdown page loading overall.

Exposing personal data of your visitor like email- and IP-address towards Gravatar is obviously an issue with GDPR. Plugin solves this perfectly.

UPDATE: Dev replied quickly and helped with “workaround fix”. Looks like the site that was affected was still running PHP 5.6 which is not like me as i like to keep that up to date ??
Updating to PHP 7.2 should fix the PARSE Error Issue, if you get one.

The newest update of this plugin seems to break multisite websites. Please look into that. And yes I am sure it’s your plugin. I get an error message accessing the website after updating Avatar Privacy which leads to its directory. Sorry, have no time to replicate error to copy paste the exact error message here. Need the site to be online so not updating for now.

Because of the GDPR I was looking for a solution to avoid sending the IP of a visitor of my website to a third party in the case of gravatars. “Avatar Privacy” is the solution for me. The plugin works fine immediately after the activation and needs very little configuration.
I had an issue with the plugin and another plugin which uses gravatars. The support of the plugin author solved the problem fast and friendly.

This plugin enhances the WordPress Avatar feature with much needed functionality. It makes the website safer and better by blocking unnecessary requests to Gravatar. The user itself can now decide to grab his/her Gravatar and submitting the email address while checking a box in the comment form. All others will stay safe.
In times of EU-DSGVO und GDPR those features should be a standard in WordPress and I’m so happy that I found “Avatar Privacy” which addresses these concerns.
Last words: the support is incredible. The dev helped my with some issues and gave me an awesome support. All thumps up!

Hey,
the plugin is exactly what I was looking for. Before I installed it, I was using another plugin to display placeholder images to people commenting on my blog. But they were always the same pictures and it looked boring.
With this plugin you can use the avatars almost completely as usual, only that no data (except the e-mail address) is sent to gravatar.com. The avatar images are cached on your own server. All this works without any further configuration. The support is also very helpful and friendly.
Clear recommendation!
Greetings
Torsten

This plug-in adresses only one of many GDPR issue of WordPress, but its very thorough and comprehensive. Add this to your list of standard WordPress plug-ins. This should become part of WP core!

Does exactly what it should do:
Save Gravatar images locally so no User-Data is sent to an external server, so you can still use Gravatar after GDPR starts. The support is fast and friendly too!
