Cropping your avatar is one of the most important steps you’ll encounter when setting up your Gravatars. If you cannot pass this step, you will not be able to add any new Gravatar to your profile.

Gravatar Cropper not working can be caused by a variety of issues, including:

• Using an outdated browser
• A bug in the Gravatar software

There are several ways to solve these problems so you can have Gravatar Cropper crop your photo again.

How to Fix Gravatar Cropper Not Working

Try the following solutions if Gravatar Cropper is not working.

Switch to another browser

If you are using a browser like Internet Explorer and your Gravatar Cropper doesn’t seem to work, try switching to another browser like Firefox or Google Chrome and see if that solves the problem. In most cases this should fix the problem and you should then be able to crop the image. It’s best to work with browsers currently supported by WordPress and Gravatar, just to be safe. These include:

• Google Chrome
  
• Opera
  
• Microsoft Edge
  
• Safari
  
• Mozilla Firefox
  

Crop photo using WordPress

If you still can’t crop your photo even after switching to another browser, you can skip the process by going toWordPressand cropping the image from there. You just have to make sure that the email account you are using for your WordPress account is the same one you use for your Gravatar account. With that out of the way, here’s how to crop your Gravatar using WordPress.

1. Gonna WordPress and log into your account using the same email you use for Gravatar.
   
2. Select “My Profile” in the left sidebar.
   
3. Click on your avatar and select the image you were trying to crop with Gravatar Cropper.
   
4. Click “Open” to add the image to your WordPress.
   
5. Crop the image as you like and click the “Change my photo” button.
   
6. When you return to your Gravatar account, you should see that the image has been updated and successfully added to your Gravatars.

Refresh the browser and clear the browser cache

Another solution you can try if your Gravatar Cropper is not working is to refresh the page by clicking the circular arrow in the top left corner of the screen. Consider a force reload if the refresh icon does not resolve the issue. These are the shortcuts you can use to force your browser to reload on various operating systems.

• Linux: “F5”
  
• Mac operating system: “Cmd” + “R”
  
• Apple: “Apple” + “R”
  
• Windows: “Ctrl” + “F5”
  

Consider clearing the browser cache if a force reload does not resolve the issue. The browser cache includes small files with small pieces of information to help users access websites more quickly when they revisit them. While the cache is vital for optimizing the browsing experience, it can cause problems that could cause the entire process to go wrong.

Clear cache in Google Chrome

To clear browser cache in Chrome, follow the steps below.

1. Open Google Chrome and click on the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the screen.
   
2. Expand the “More Tools” menu and choose the “Clear browsing data” option.
   
3. At the top of the page, specify the specific time range of the cache you want to delete. You can select “All the time” to delete everything.
   
4. Check the “Cached images and files” box.
   
5. Click on the “Clear data” option to complete the process.

If you are using Mozilla Firefox, follow the steps below to clear the browser cache.

1. Open Mozilla Firefox and click on the three horizontal lines in the upper right corner of the screen.
   
2. From the options, select “Settings”.
   
3. In the left sidebar, select the “Privacy and Security” option.
   
4. Scroll down to the “Cookies and Site Data” section.

6. Uncheck “Cookies and site data” (unless you want to clear them as well) and make sure the “Cached web content” box is checked.
   
7. Click the “Delete” button.
   

Clear browser cache in Microsoft Edge

1. Open Microsoft Edge.
   
2. Click on the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the screen.
   
3. From the menu, select the “Settings and more…” option.

2. From the options that appear, select “Settings and more.”
   
3. Go to “Settings” and then “Privacy, search and services.”
   
4. Scroll down to the “Clear browsing data” section.
   
5. Click the button that says “Choose what to delete.”
   
6. From the “Time Range” drop-down menu, choose “All Time.”

How to fix Gravatar not loading image

Sometimes you may have problems loading your image into Gravatar before you even try to crop it. If that’s the case, consider trying some of the solutions highlighted below.

Disable your ad blocker

If you’re having trouble uploading your image to Gravatar Cropper, the ad blocker you’re using could be to blame. Ad blockers can interfere with Gravatar, so if you’re using one, consider disabling it temporarily and then try uploading your image again.

If you are using Firefox, disable the content blocking security feature

If you are using Firefox and are having trouble uploading your images to Gravatar Cropper, the browser’s content blocking security feature could interfere with the upload function. Firefox’s security feature is known to prevent parts of some websites from loading. It is better to disable the feature completely. Below is how to carry out the process.

1. Log in to your tax account.
   
2. Click the information icon in the upper left corner of the screen.
   
3. Turn off “Enhanced tracking protection for this site” to disable the security feature.
   
4. If you’re using a new private window, click the “Enhanced tracking protection on for this site” option.
   

Check your image size

The maximum size limit for images you can upload to Gravatar is 10 MB. If your photo exceeds this limit, you will receive a warning message informing you that you cannot upload the image to the system. You will need to opt for a smaller image or reduce the size of the image you are trying to upload using photo editing tools likephotoshop.

How to Fix Gravatar Window Not Displaying Correctly

There are also cases where Gravatar may not display correctly or even display at all. Below are some reasons why that might be the case, along with some solutions you can try to resolve the issue.

• Make sure the email address you are using for Gravatar Cropper is the same as the one on your profile or the one you are using to comment on the external site.
• If you make changes to Gravatars on your WordPress website, the changes you made may not be reflected immediately, or if they are reflected, they may not display correctly. Changes may take up to 24 hours to update on the website and Gravatar, so be patient and see if your Gravatars will display correctly after 24 hours.
• If your Gravatar isn’t showing up on your own website or the website you’ve commented on, then the culprit is probably the rating you assigned to the photo. Most websites will not display avatars with a rating higher than G because they may contain sensitive or offensive content. Remap your image with a G rating and see if that solves your problem.

Get your Gravatar combine working again

Gravatar Cropper not working can be an inconvenience, but it should not be a cause for concern.

Any changes you make to your WordPress profile image will be reflected in your Gravatar account.
