    I tried all three gravatar cache plugins and this one was definitely the easiest to configure, and worked right out of the box with no changes… The other two had much more complex settings, and I could not get them to work on my site. So, congrats on this accomplishment!

    There does seem to be one small bug though. When a WordPress commenter does not leave an email (i.e., the address is empty), then that comment should use the default (mystery) gravatar. Right now that doesn’t happen, but hopefully it is just a small/quick fix.

    Thanks for a plugin well done!

    Hi,

    thanks;) You can write a review if you like.

    Can you give me an example (URL) where i can see this?
    And you have to watch the site without being logged in as admin. If you are logged in, the plugin return the original URL to the image from gravatar.

    Best regards,
    Harry

    Thanks, I will definitely leave a review once we put it into production!

    But sorry, I can’t send you a URL because it’s on a private staging site…

    You should be able to see it happen yourself by editing any WP comment and then saving it back to the database with nothing in the Email field.

    And yes, note that this only shows up for non-logged-in (cached) visitors.

    In my case, the gravatar displayed for that commenter with no email is actually of the site owner, rather than the default (which it should be).

    Have tried on multiple browsers and result seems to be the same. Everything else works perfectly.

    Hope that helps!

    Ah ok, yes this will help.
    I will try to fix it. The plugin “need” an emailadress to get a hash from this adress. So i think without an mailadress the hash is empty or wrong and so it will not return the right file.

    So just two questions about it:
    Can anybody comment on this site without entering an emailadress? Or will you delete this manually after commenting?

    And how is the behaviour when you replace the commenters mailadress with something like [email protected] or [email protected] instead of an empty “Nothing”;)?

    Yes, on my site, leaving an email address to make a WordPress comment is not required… So there are plenty of comments like that.

    I’ve never tried to replace an empty email with anything else. I guess it would be possible by writing some code, but I never had or saw the need. If I did it by hand just to test, then I suppose your plugin would look up the gravatars for those other addresses.

    Incidentally, even leaving a name is not required for my site’s comments. If no name is left, then WordPress will automatically put in “Anonymous” when displaying those particular comments. No additional action or code is required for that to happen.

    I will test it and come back here.
