Hi,

I have noticed that all members who signed up on my page the last 3 days get the default avatar “Mystery Man” from http://i0.wp.com/www.pagename.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg and not from http://www.pagename.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg. I use a different “Mystery Man” which I uploaded for my page, but new members receive the default avatar image from this i0.wp.com

I don’t want that i0.wp.com tracks my page for images and I don’t want that BuddyPress receives images from there how can I disable this?

I saw that the other day. I though it was a local development environment problem I had, but I believe it’s to do with the Gravatar service; I’ll raise it with Automattic.

Thank you for your quick reply. This is strange because my page never had anything to do with gravatar.com. I also deactivated the plugin “Jetpack for WordPress” which seemd to be a possible trigger for this i0.wp.com, but nothing changed.

What do you mean with “I’ll raise it with Automat(t)ic”? I’m not a native English speaker.

Sorry. Gravatar is a service that lets you upload a picture, and it’s used as your avatar across many websites. BuddyPress lets users upload their own picture, of course, but we use Gravatar as a fallback (if you don’t have a gravatar, then we use the uploaded picture).

Automattic (automattic.com) is the company who owns and runs Gravatar.

This problem was caused by a change made by Gravatar. We have a bug ticket tracking the issue at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4571

Thanks again for your explanation. I hope the next version will fix this problem.

@djpaul,

Thanks for the heads up. I also thought I had a config issue in my local Dev.

@hnla – the problem we looked at yesterday – I noticed the domain name. If you check the trac ticket it’s because the image isn’t publicy accessible (as we’d suspected).

thngs are set that unless you upload your own pic/avatar the gravatar service is brought into the equation whether you like it or not, it’s a behaviour I’m looking into.

No need to bump this topic when you’ve just started your own about a similar thing. There’s been no change.
