Remove Some Avatar Options?

I want to disable Gravatar completely so my idea was:

-disable Gravatars in WP discussion settings
-rename “Use WordPress avatar system” to “no avatar” (done)
-hide remote avatar option

Do you think that will work properly?

No, you should not disable avatars in discussion settings, it’ll disable all avatars. The only correct way at the moment is using CSS code mentioned here: https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/remove-avatar-options/#post-18647

Thank you, that’s exactly what I need!
However, I actually DID disable avatars in the discussion tab and avatars still work in the forum. They are just not working in the comments on my site anymore.
Do you have any other idea how to disable Gravatars in a way that the local avatars still work?

That option is general it disables whole avatar system. wpForo is a WordPress plugin and we make it as native to WP as possible so it also disable the whole forum avatars too. I’m sorry but there is no such way.

But I did disable avatars in WordPress and they still work in the forum!

If there is no custom avatars wpForo loads the default avatar. You can disable forum avatars in by Usergroups in Dashboard > Forums > Usergroups admin page, just edit certain usergroup and manage it. But it’ll disable all kind of avatars. For example, you can disable “Front – Can upload avatar” and “Front – Can view avatars” permissions. Then navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard and click on [Delete all caches] button.

But I want to keep avatars in the forum enabled.
I mean right now it works as I intended, I am just saying that I disabled avatars in the discussions tab in WP and it still works in the forum (this is what I want)

Ok, then it’s ok. it doesn’t affect forum avatars. It seems in latest versions our devs separated that option from forum, because that option is mostly related to comments.
And, I’m afraid, it totally disables comments avatars. wpForo has no chance to affect and display forum avatars in comments system if that’s totally turned off.

I am ok with that since I don’t necessarily need avatars in the comments.
Can I expect that the behavior stays like this in the upcoming releases?

Sure, this will stay the same, we’ll not make any change here.

I found a way to keep the forum avatars activated even in the comments while removing anything that comes from the normal WordPress avatar functionality. I just added this snippets to remove normal WP avatars:

function remove_all_wp_avatars() {
return “”;
}
add_filter( ‘pre_get_avatar’, ‘remove_all_wp_avatars’, 10, 3 );
