Fleet Admin

Thanx Igor -that makes it clearer at least ??

Now – the only reason I have that plugin was to enable uploading my own avatar. Like this it seems to have limited benefit.

Sooooo – I can easily disable that plugin (I guess) and then follow any further advice anyone can give. SHOULD I bite the bullet and get a Gravatar account OR is there a better route. The link you suggested – does that relate to my self hosted blog?

Thanx again – Ian

Ok I see now that Mystery Man/Blank/Gravatar all relate to other posters not me as admin……. (on the discussion page)

Igor – the link you sent me through to makes reference to wordpress blogs. Sorry to be thick but is that what mine is? I assumed a wordpress blog is a blog only hosted by wordpress. Mine is embedded in my wordpress website of course. I suppose there IS a difference is there? This whole confusion stems from my lack of understanding between the actual correlation between wp.org and .com

Aaaaaaaargh!!!

Why is there two????

Hi both. The plugin is called “User Avatar”

Allows users to associate photos with their accounts by accessing their “Your Profile” page that default as Gravatar or WordPress Default image (from Discussion Page).

Igor – I didn’t create a gravatar from the gravatar account. I am afraid I seem to have an account with www.ads-software.com/wordpress.com/and then gravatar!!! So I gave up at the Gravatar request to setup there and instead googled avatar plugin and came up with this one. That allowed me to upload my own Jpeg image to use.

Igor – what else have I confused you over that you need to guess please? I am new to wordpress and see the link between .org and.com very unclear to me and I now have an issue where my avatar is in the profile of dashboard but not in my blog on my website https://www.fleetdive.nl

Igor settings>discussion>avatar> show avatar ticked – Mystery man & gravatar don’t do what I want. blank either.

I have just remembered I installed a plugin – user avatar. It installed, shows up and is active. This allowed me to import the avatar which currently shows up in dashboard but not in the blog.

Does that help?

Hi Bendesign and thanx for your help. When I hit ctrl F my website seems to load a placement for an avatar and then it disappears – does that help? In fact IIRC until I put an avatar in admin’s profile the generic silhouette was there. Guess that means there may be an issue somewhere else? Does the rule that “it takes a few days to publish an avatar” apply here? Does the wordpress org control when the avatar linked to my email address works like now on this site?

Anyone out there to shed some light please?

Ian

Hi Esmi – errm……. Well it’s my first wordpress website so I am new to this. It’s also my first blog. Can you tell by looking at all? It lives at fleetdive.nl I think it’s a self hosted wordpress install.
