Gravatar Enhanced – Avatars, Profiles, and Privacy


This plugin handily extends WordPress's built-in Gravatar support with some frequently asked for enhancements.



Besides the handy new Gravatar Profile block, the plugin adds both privacy and accessibility enhancements.



It's easy to use and well-documented.


Finally, more Gravatar Options!


It's great to have a straightforward way to enhance the existing Gravatar abilities. I hope some of these work their way into core too (such as the alt-text).


Fantastic additions to Gravatar

The official Gravatar plugin, featuring privacy-focused settings, easy profile updates, and customizable Gravatar Profile blocks.
