Avatar Distorted

  • No matter how I crop the image in the media file, the avatar is the same width and height as the original, but it is squashed into the avatar box in the backend and frontend.

    What is the recommended image dimension or ratio for an avatar?

    Is there a way to eliminate the Gravatar image since it is confusing when it still shows up? Personally, I take the requirement that I have to use WordPress’s online avatar as a security violation. If I could eliminate this completely from WordPress altogether, I would.

  • Hi @ronsmithmd,

    Can you please share with us the site that is having the issue? This plugin always crops the avatar using the 1:1 ratio, so the cropped avatar should be square. If you can give me the site having the issue, it’s much easier for me to trace the bug.

    > What is the recommended image dimension or ratio for an avatar?

    There is no recommended size/ratio. It depends on how your theme, this plugin crops avatar using the size your theme uses.

    Go to Settings > Discussion, you’ll find the “Local Avatars Only” checkbox, checking that box disables Gravatar on your site.
