Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I have uploaded avatars, there is no error message on the settings page, but I still can't see the avatar selection field
A: Your theme is most likely broken. Tell your theme developer to read the Theme Development page and to add the comment_form action.

Q: I don't like where the avatar selection field shows up on the page.
A: Perform the following steps:

  1. Find the comments.php file in your theme directory and open it in an editor. Alternatively edit it through the WordPress theme editor under Appearance-Editor. If your theme doesn't use a comments.php search for a file with a wp_list_comments call or with the comments form.
  2. Add <?php global $CommentAvatarsFrontend; if ( isset( $CommentAvatarsFrontend ) ) $CommentAvatarsFrontend->select(); ?> where the avatar select list should appear.
  3. Check the "Don't show the select field automatically." box on the settings page.

Q: How do I remove the link to the plugin homepage?
A: Please read the plugin's settings page, you can disable it there.
