Gravatars not working…WordPress 2.7

    I’ve searched other topics for information about the problem I’m having but I couldn’t find anything that answered my specific question. I’m currently using 2.7 (and loving it) and I recently downloaded and installed the popular Iceburgg theme by Devlounge. I feel I should note that before returning to a domain of my own, I was using a blog at wordpress.com that offers the same theme to users. However, I’ve noticed that there are a few significant differences between the theme on wordpress.com and the theme at the developer’s website. I’ve managed to make the theme widget-ready with no real problem. But for some reason, even though I’ve set up my blog (through the dashboard) to show gravatars, they aren’t showing up in my Recent Comments widget or on the actual comments page itself. They just aren’t showing up at all. However, when I was using the theme on wordpress.com they were there.

    So does anyone have any idea what’s going on? Is it necessary for me to add the code to the theme myself or is there some kind of error or mistake or something that’s causing the gravatars to be non-existent?

    Also, does anyone know if an updated version of the theme (like the one on wordpress.com) exists? Or did wp.com just tweak the theme themselves?

    On my 2.7 blog I use the Get Recent Comments plugin.

    In the template field on the Get Recent Comments option page, I use this:

    I followed the directions of jdembowski above, and it made the gravatars show up, but now they are inline, rather than floating to the left. Is there a way to make them float left (similar to how the gravatars work on this very forum)?

    example can be seen at RushingAround

    I have tried both these tags in my template:

    <?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 56 ); ?>

<?php echo get_avatar( get_comment_author_email(), '80' ); ?>

    The Mystery Man icon shows fine, and at the correct sizes, so I know the code is right. My email addresses are all registered with gravatar.com but they don’t show on my blog.

    I’m wondering if they’ll show here… Here’s to testing!

    Edit: The tags were both tried separately and it looks like my avatar doesn’t show up here either. How long does it take Gravatar.com to verify my images?

    Now it works. I had to check back with Gravatar.com to use the ‘check’ feature. Also cleared my cache in case. Problem solved!
