How to Setup Gravatars for your Blog - Plugin Free!

Posted on March 2nd in WordPress — 355 Comments so far. Got something to say?

Recently I’ve added Gravatars to the comments portion of the site. This is extremely easy to as long as you’re not totally useless in terms of copying and pasting. Fear not of messing your blog’s important code up, for this plan is fool proof.

What is a Gravatar?

To start, an avatar is a small image associated with a user, found a lot on forums and are beginning to appear more and more on blogs. Gravatar is a service which allows for “Globally Recognized Avatars“. Basically, you can sign up for the service and your email will be associated with an image you upload. After that, it could’t matter less if you ever visit their site again!

From that point in time, every time you leave a comment at a blog with your valid email address, your image will appear next to your name, providing the owner has added a few simple lines of code.

Their site puts it like this:

Gravatar aims to put a face behind the name. This is the beginning of trust. In the future, Gravatar will be a way to establish trust between producers and consumers on the internet. It will be the next best thing to meeting in person.

- About Gravatar

That might be reaching a little, but by now you should have a brief understanding.

What are the Benefits?

Draw attention to yourself. Most people comment on a website hoping for a little bit of traffic, so it makes sense that using any means within your arm’s reach is beneficial to you. A minute long process of signing up for a service and you get that attention.

People have been known to include scantily clad women, which certainly warrant a few clicks from weary lurkers in the depths of your archives. In short, a Gravatar can do a few things for you:

Personalize. Add a picture of yourself and people will see the face behind the name and the words you write.
Capture attention. As mentioned above, if you want clicks over a response or any shred of respect, go for shock or surprise value.
Get recognized. Comment a lot? Authors and readers like will recognize the avatar of a commenter who consistently posts insightful musings.

In the end, you spend two minutes or so signing up and uploading a picture, and you will see the results soon after.

How to do it

This is a guide custom tailored for WordPress users, but will work on any PHP driven system. Open up comments.php and follow these steps:

Setup your variables. To generate the image you need to send some simple information.<? $email = $comment->comment_author_email; $default = “”; // link to your default avatar $size = 40; // size in pixels squared $grav_url = “http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id= ” . md5($email) . “&default=” . urlencode($default) . “&size=” . $size; ?>

There isn’t much in there to understand. Set the $email variable to whatever works with your system. The one in place works with WordPress. After that, upload an image you want to serve when the user doesn’t have a Gravatar, input a size and you’re good to go.
The HTML code. Next, just insert this code where you want the image to appear:<img src="<?=$grav_url ?>" height="<?=$size ?>" width="<?=$size ?>" alt="User Gravatar" />
That will display the user’s image.

That’s it! As you can see it won’t take long. You can do this simply and without a WordPress plugin.

What now?

You can now style the image to match your site. You can view a single post on this site to see what it looks like. I have mine setup to give every user 70*70 image that floats to the left of their comment. I think it looks pretty nice, considering the benefits it allows my readers and time it took.

So if you’re reading this, or leave comments on any Gravatar enabled site, I implore you to sign up and get your own image.

Hey Connor, this is excellent. I’m going to try it out right now.

One thing to have caution against is having the PHP shorthand in your code since not all hosts have it enabled.
Ronald @ RA Project
March 2nd, 2008 at 11:25 PM

Sorry to bombard your comment’s section

I used this code to implement gravatars in the sidebar (mod of yours) to showcase post authors:

<?php global $author_desc,$author_name,$author_post_url,$author_url,$author_email;?>
<?php
$default = ""; // link to your default avatar
$size = 40; // size in pixels squared
$grav_url = "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=" . md5(trim($author_email)) . "&default=" . urlencode($default) . "&size=" . $size;
?>

And here’s the image code:

<p class="author-desc"><a href="<?php echo $author_post_url ?>"><img width="<?php echo $size; ?>" height="<?php echo $size; ?>" src="<?php echo $grav_url; ?>" alt="<?php echo $author_name; ?>" title="<?php echo $author_name; ?>" /></a><?php echo $author_desc ?></p>
Connor Wilson
March 2nd, 2008 at 11:31 PM

Haha, bombard away. That’s a great example, and the author Gravatar is something I’m actually including in a design I’m working on now.

And I guess if you’re having server troubles with this you can go the long way around of < ?php echo $grav_url; ?>, etc… instead of < ?=$grav_url ?>.
Ronald @ RA Project
March 2nd, 2008 at 11:34 PM

One thing I forgot to mention in my comment is that you want to add a conditional tag before it:

start with:

<?php if (is_single() || is_author()): ?>

and end with after the Gravatar:

<?php endif; ?>

The problem I run into is user who use mixed case email addresses to leave comments. To fix for this, I use strtolower in the call to the email address:

.md5(strtolower($email));

I was considering adding these for my http://www.HatchThat.com redesign but I wonder how many of my commenters will have a Gravatar - I assume this just shows a default if they don’t have one, I’d love it if it would leave the space totally blank instead.

I am a little skeptical of doing this.

Because 2.5 is going to be out in a week, and they have the option to show gravatars and avatars.

http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5775

Otherwise, this would have been a very good hack.

Connor Wilson

Wow, definitely didn’t expect to wake up with 19 emails in trackbacks and comments. I’m not complaining though

Darran: That’s a good point, though this will stand for those not wanting to update right away. To be honest I haven’t even updated to 2.3. This way also might allow you a more complete control over the style, I don’t know - I haven’t personally test 2.5 yet.
ChaosKaizer
March 3rd, 2008 at 8:10 AM

I think the picture rating is important, you dont want to see triple-x materials in your blog.
additionally add
<?php $email = $comment->comment_author_email; $default = ""; // link to your default avatar $size = 40; // size in pixels squared $rating = "G"; // [G | PG | R | X] $grav_url = "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id= " . md5($email) . "&default=" . urlencode($default) . "&size=" . $size."&rating=".$rating; ?>

It’s even better (and recommended) to get md5(strtolower(trim($author_email))) so that joe@joe.com and JOE@JOE.COM will actually get their gravatar.

Excellent post. I’l make use of this coding instead of the easy gravatars plugin in my new blog venture. And Conor, I really love the way you’ve modified the author comment feature of your blog here. Can you post some coding for that?

Although with a plugin it’s nice to be able to set up locally hosted gravatars.
TheCriticalCritic
March 3rd, 2008 at 9:10 AM

@ Dirk

You’re not hacking a core file. The comments.php is a theme file and doesn’t get overwritten when you upgrade.

@ Connor

Thanks for the simple steps. I’ve been contemplating adding gravatars but didn’t want to add another plugin…

Awesome, this looks really interesting, especially (and as others have mentioned) because it can be used to show gravatars in other places than in just the comments.

This might be just the thing i need to spice up a sidebar on a theme I am playing with!

Thanks!
WiLL
March 3rd, 2008 at 1:19 PM

Had this implemented a while now. I used Matt’s suggestion on implementing it. Just one question: what will happen if I have this code in place in my theme and I upgrade to WordPress 2.5?

Good job on the tutorial, by the way.

Ok, me and my quick fingers. I guess I skipped reading a lot of comments that answered my question already. Sorry.

And maybe to gravatar the author’s pingback as well.

March 5th, 2008 at 7:31 PM

Hi,

Since installing your code, I have gravatars displaying, but it’s only displaying the default one, even though I have a gravatar registered against that email address and I’ve use the uppercase/lowercase solution.

http://blog.yourwish.co.nz/2008/02/27/25-tips-to-enjoy-your-wedding-day/

Any help would be appreciated.

Dawn
Connor Wilson
March 5th, 2008 at 9:07 PM

Dawn: If you post the exact PHP code you have I should be able to set you off in the right direction. The only reasons it would automatically grab the default is either the account doesn’t exist or you’re not setting the email variable correctly.
Dawn
March 5th, 2008 at 10:02 PM

Hi Connor,

I have used the exact same code, copied and pasted from your site, the only change made is to set the url for my default gravatar, so my code looks like this:

comment_author_email; $default = "http://www.yourwish.co.nz/img/default.gif"; // link to your default avatar $size = 40; // size in pixels squared $grav_url = "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id= " . md5($email) . "&default=" . urlencode($default) . "&size=" . $size; ?>
Connor Wilson
March 5th, 2008 at 10:08 PM

It looks like the front end of that got cut off, but make sure you have:

$email = $comment->comment_author_email;

That’s the gamebreaker. The script works 100% (it runs right here), but if you have it exactly it could potentially be an issue with your host. You need to be able to display dynamic images.

That’s more of a whim however, because the default appears fine.
Dawn
March 6th, 2008 at 3:59 PM

Connor, thanks for your patience in sorting this out for me, it turns out that it needs to be under “< ?php foreach($comments as $comment); ?>”

I just had it outside of the loop where the email variable works!

thanks

Hi and thanks for the tip Connor. I have been trying to get gravatars working properly on my site, when I came across this. But after reading the comments, maybe I should just wait for the 2.5 release - might be a bit easier!!
Michael
March 12th, 2008 at 11:17 AM

Great tutorial - I’m unable to get it to work on my site however. Having said that, I upgraded EasyGravatars on another site I host last night, and as of this morning, no gravatars are being pulled in. So before I annoy you to death, I wanted to post here and see if the problem is with my host, the update, or what. I get the default image on both domains, one using your method and one using EasyGravatars. I’ve used the tools on site.gravatar.com and my gravatar shows up just fine. I’m completely stumped!
Connor Wilson
March 12th, 2008 at 11:20 AM

Michael: This is usually cause by putting the variables above your comments loop. Make sure you’re declaring everything below foreach($comments as $comment) or something similar.
Jeff
March 15th, 2008 at 11:33 AM

Connor,

For those of us, like Dawn and I, wouldn’t aren’t PHP experts, would it make sense to change your above post / instructions to let users know that the code needs to go below foreach($comments as $comment), as you mentioned in one of these last comments? That was giving me problems until I read through all of the other user feedback.

Also, maybe adjust the code to have the string to lower, and rating stuff, optional maybe, but included above?

Hi, I followed the tutorial to implement Gravatars in my blog, and it worked perfect, but, I can’t align the image to the text.

I want it to display aligned with the author name and date and the image to link the author’s site.

Here’s how it looks now on my blog:
http://www.geekspot.com.ar/geekspot/anunciate-gratis-en-geekspot/#comments

Do I need some CSS? I’ve got this
ol.commentlist h5{ /*nick*/
display:inline;
font-size:11px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
ol.commentlist h5 a:hover{
border-bottom:1px solid #ccc; color:#185DA0; background-color:inherit;
}
ol.commentlist h5 small{
display:inline;
}
Connor Wilson
March 30th, 2008 at 12:33 PM

It looks like you have the Gravatar in the H5. Take it out, and put it above the H5 (and the small tag). Then just float it to the left, add padding to the right and it should be fine.
Fede777 | Geekspot
March 30th, 2008 at 7:30 PM

Thanks for the answer, what I don’t understand is in the CSS I have to create an ol or something?

I’ve already took it out.

ol.commentlist .gravatar{
float: left;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
padding: 2px;
}
Connor Wilson
March 30th, 2008 at 8:06 PM

The OL is the list that all the comments are contained in.

Try putting a DIV around the H5 and the small tag, so they are grouped together.
Fede777 | Geekspot
March 31st, 2008 at 4:43 PM

Well, I tried a lot of things that didn’t work, and looking the CSS of some blogs I read daily I found this piece of code wich did the trick:

.commentlist img {
float: left;
background: #fff;
padding: 3px;
border: 1px solid #e3e3e3;
margin-right: 5px;
}
Connor Wilson
March 31st, 2008 at 6:45 PM

Yeah, that’s what I was getting at. Float it out to the left and add space to its right. Good to see you got it worked out, looks good.

Hi Conner,

I also got the script working perfectly first time (WP2.5) - thanks so much.

Like some others I’m struggling with styling; perhaps you or another reader can help me out.

When comments are short — like the the third and fourth ones here: http://www.indietravelpodcast.com/podcast/053-the-camino-de-santiago-de-compostela/ — I cannot get the gravatar to “push” the light-grey div down further, so I’m getting some overlap between comments and gravatars.

I have experimented with several margin/padding CSS solutions, but have nad no success. Any help appreciated.

I understand how having a Gravatar can be very important when trying to create recognition for your blog. Especially when there are so many blogs out there, blogs you have to compete with for visitors. It is a good way for people to remember who you are. I will have to make one for my self as well as try to follow the directions above and incorporate them to my blog to increase comments….

Hi Connor, this is a useful piece of code, I like the idea behind ‘putting a face to a name’ but I don’t know if it will catch on, I’m not sure many bloggers will sign up to the gravatars site to register a photo with a email account. I will have to try it on one of my wordpress blogs I’m currently developing.
