    Hello Support,

    is it possible to deactivate Gravatars within ENFOLD and use/display local Avatars for registered Users?

    Will Gravatar be adressed in a forthcoming ENFOLD update regarding EU-DSGVO? They don’t seem to be kind of legal anymore.

    Kind regards

    Hello @victoria_d,
    thanks for your reply.
    I know how to disable Gravatar within WordPress.
    My point is: can i still use local Avatars in ENFOLD? I use the plugin WP User Avatars and my user do have images for their user accounts. But ENFOLD is not showing them at all.
    Is there know way to show images in ENFOLD without Gravatar?
    PS: i would like to switch off Gravatar because of EU-DSGVO Compatibility.
    Kind regards

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, it would require quite some time and customization of the theme to achieve this, so I am sorry to tell you that this is not covered by our support. However, if it’s really important for you to get this done, you can always hire a freelancer to do the job for you :)

    Best regards,

    Hi Basilis,
    oh, that’s a bit disappointing for such a well known Theme like ENFOLD. I know several themes which have no problem with that.
    Especially within the EU-DSGVO it would be really relevant to overthink that ENFOLD may be a bit more open in standard here.
    Gravatar is leaking mail addresses as everyone knows and ENFOLD should not force it’s users to support a behavior like that.
    An option for local avatar images would be really useful.
    Kind regards

    Hi,

    We will check it further and she what we can do about that, if we can include it on the upcoming GDPR related update.

    Best regards,

    Thank you very much Basilis.
    Many Bloggers here in Germany are switching of Gravatar due to EU-DSGVO and it would be nice if ENFOLD would be open to show local avatars as an alternative since commenting is much nicer with avatars.
