If you have disabled Gravatar in Molongui Authorship but still see requests to Gravatar, the request may be coming from WordPress itself, your theme, another plugin, or a cached page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This guide helps you identify where the request is coming from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When this option is disabled, Molongui Authorship removes Gravatar from its own avatar resolution process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your site uses page caching, object caching, a CDN, or browser caching, you may still be seeing HTML generated before Gravatar was disabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clear all relevant caches and reload the page before testing again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Molongui Authorship can disable Gravatar for the avatars it manages, but WordPress core or other parts of your site may still call the WordPress avatar functions independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Examples may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the request appears outside a Molongui Authorship component, it may not be generated by Molongui Authorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another plugin or your active theme may request Gravatar independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Temporarily disabling other avatar-related plugins or switching to a default WordPress theme can help identify whether another component is responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open your browser’s developer tools and inspect the Network<\/strong> panel while reloading the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Look for requests to domains such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then inspect which page element or script initiated the request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the Gravatar request is associated with an Author Box, author list, Guest Author, or another Molongui Authorship component, verify that Gravatar is disabled under Authors > Settings > General<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the request comes from a completely different part of WordPress, the Molongui Authorship setting may not control it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Default Avatar configured under Settings > Discussion<\/strong> is normally delivered through the WordPress\/Gravatar avatar system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When Gravatar is disabled in Molongui Authorship, Molongui author avatars do not use that fallback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, other WordPress components may still use it independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the request persists, identifying the element that initiated it in the browser’s Network panel is usually the fastest way to determine which component is responsible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you have disabled Gravatar in Molongui Authorship but still see requests to Gravatar, the request may be coming from WordPress itself, your theme, another plugin, or a cached page.
