\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">No doubt, you are probably already familiar with <em>avatars<\/em>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">An avatar is an icon, or representation of a user in a shared virtual reality such as a forum, chat, website, or any other form of online community where the user(s) wish to distinguish themselves from other users.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><em>(Source: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Using_Gravatars\">WordPress Codex<\/a><\/strong>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Using avatars (profile images) is now standard across sites that encourage user interactivity, such as social media networks like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc., and many online forums and directories.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

id=\"What-Is-A-Gravatar\"><\/span>What Is A Gravatar?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">If WordPress detects comments from users on your posts and cannot find a profile image associated with that user, it automatically assigns a generic icon image to the comment or entry.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img

width=\"1000\" height=\"337\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">WordPress automatically assigns a generic icon to users without a profile image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align:

<em>Gravatar<\/em>.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

<strong>R<\/strong>ecognized <strong>Avatar.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Avatars are usually an image that users upload to every site they register with.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">A <em>Gravatar<\/em> allows you to use one avatar on every WordPress site you post comments on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Unlike standard avatars then, Gravatars follow you around the web and automatically appear whenever you post a comment on a WordPress site.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Gravatar.com was acquired in 2007 by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/automattic.com\/\">Automattic<\/a><\/strong>, the company behind WordPress.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">As a result, Gravatars are now integrated into WordPress and millions of gravatar images are served billions of times per day across the web.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Gravatars are also supported by many technology platforms.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-Does-A-Gravatar-Work\"><\/span>How Does A Gravatar Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">You need to set up a Gravatar before you can use it on WordPress sites.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Once you have set up your Gravatar account (see instructions below), the service will match your WordPress user profile information to the email address in your account.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">It will then use this to display your custom Gravatar image with your user profile, comments, post entries, discussions, and (optionally) everywhere else across the WordPress universe.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

need to set up a Gravatar before you can use it in WordPress.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">If a visitor has not set up a Gravatar account, the default avatar set by the WordPress site administrator will display next to their comments and entries (this is explained further below).<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img

class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Mystery Person avatar.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">If you post comments on other WordPress sites and don&#8217;t want your entries to display a default or generic icon, the easiest thing to do is set up a gravatar of your own.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits-Of-Using-Gravatars\"><\/span>Benefits Of Using Gravatars<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">A Gravatar is basically an avatar that is hosted on a single server and is called up by encrypting the user&#8217;s email address using a special algorithm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Instead of displaying one avatar on a forum that you frequently visit and displaying another avatar on a blog that you are a registered member of (in other words, creating different avatars for every site you have an account with), a Gravatar allows you to display the same avatar on every site you visit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Enabling Gravatars on your WordPress site also simplifies the process for everyone involved:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Benefits for Site Administrators<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Gravatars require little effort to manage.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">There is no need to maintain additional plugins.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Gravatars are visually portable across the web. You don&#8217;t need to manage user accounts or edit user images to allow post commenters to use Gravatars on your site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Benefits For WordPress Users<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Having a Gravatar account saves users from having to register and upload a new avatar on every site they join.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Users can update their Gravatar across multiple sites by simply uploading a single image inside their account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-To-Add-A-Gravatar\"><\/span>How To Add A Gravatar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">To start using Gravatars, you will first need to create an account (it&#8217;s FREE) here: <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gravatar.com\/\">http:\/\/www.gravatar.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wptrainingmanual.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/elite\/tut\/wptm-086\/WPTM-086-010.png\" alt=\"Gravatar.com\" width=\"1000\" height=\"640\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Create a free account at Gravatar.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Since Gravatar is part of WordPress, you can also log in with your <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>WordPress.com<\/strong><\/a> account details if you have one set up.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wptrainingmanual.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/elite\/tut\/wptm-086\/WPTM-086-011.png\" alt=\"Gravatar.com log in screen.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"840\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gravatar.com log in screen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">If you don&#8217;t have a WordPress.com account, you can easily register and set one up on the site.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wptrainingmanual.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/elite\/tut\/wptm-086\/WPTM-086-012.png\" alt=\"WordPress.com account registration screen.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"740\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Create an account with WordPress.com to sign up for Gravatar.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wptrainingmanual.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/elite\/tut\/wptm-086\/info-icon.jpg\" alt=\"info\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">If you have several email addresses, you can set up multiple Gravatars associated with each email address.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wptrainingmanual.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/elite\/tut\/wptm-086\/WPTM-086-013.png\" alt=\"Gravatar - Add an email to this account.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"385\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can set up multiple Gravatars using different email addresses.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Once you have verified and set up your account, follow the instructions to set up your profile, and select the email address and image you want to associate with your Gravatar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">You will need to upload an image.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wptrainingmanual.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/elite\/tut\/wptm-086\/WPTM-086-014.png\" alt=\"Gravatar - Upload image screen.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"436\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Upload your Gravatar image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Gravatar automatically resizes large images and has a 10MB file size limit.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wptrainingmanual.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/elite\/tut\/wptm-086\/WPTM-086-015.png\" alt=\"Upload your Gravatar image.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"516\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Upload your Gravatar image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">After uploading your image, crop and save it.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wptrainingmanual.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/elite\/tut\/wptm-086\/WPTM-086-016.png\" alt=\"Crop your Gravatar image.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"808\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Add and crop your Gravatar image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Next, select a rating for your Gravatar:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>G<\/strong> &#8211;
