How to Change Comment’s Avatar on Wordpress 2.5.1

Posted on June 19, 2008, under Gadgets, Tutorials by Ikki.

Hi peeps,

Wordpress Comment AvatarEver wondered how to change the avatar displayed on the Comments section of your Wordpress Admin area?

Well, today I’m going to share this little trick with you. It’s very easy to accomplish and won’t require any editing on your Wordpress setup. Ready?

In your WP Admin area, go to Users, select your account and check the email displayed below the E-mail field. You’ll need this info!

Next, go to Gravatar.com. If you’re still logged in into your Wordpress account, you should be already logged in Gravatar.com too! :D (in case you’re not, just log in using the email I told you to check before. The password should be the same one as your Wordpress account).

On the navigation bar on top, click on My Account and it’ll take you to the Avatar Selection screen. Obviously, you don’t have one yet so you need to: a) Select one of the predefined images, b) Upload your own Avatar, or c) Select an image on the Internet.

Make sure that the Email shown at Gravatar.com is the same one you’re using on your Wordpress setup. If not, just add it (no need to set it as Primary Email account) and continue selecting your Avatar. It takes about 5-10 minutes to globally update your Avatar so be patient ;)

That’s it! Now whenever you visit a Gravatar-powered Wordpress blog/site your Avatar should be there :D

Enjoy!

P. S.: if you liked this little tutorial please don’t forget to Digg it :D

@Melvin: I know. What I didn’t know was how to configure your avatar xD I thought that it would be a nice idea to let other people that like me don’t know how to use Gravatar ;)
