    Hi i am returned here :) i have a disability ok and umm sometimes i just dont understand stuff and so i must apologize i guess cuz i need someone to explain step by step to me about adding to the comments.php please someone can help me out cuz i have done all can do and avs dont show up.

    thank you

  2. Mark says:

    Makki, this plugin does not handle that. You’ll have to install this one, or this one, and follow their directions for implementation.

    I wonder if WP will soon have some of the more popular plug-ins bundled in. This is especially important where the plug-ins advance a “platform” technology, such as Gravatar, Del.icio.us, etc.

    WP seems to have the marketshare to create standards simply by adopting a protocol or platform in its default configurations (wrt blog related technologies). This is a power that they might as well use, no?

    At this point, Rahul, WordPress is still solidifying its codebase and coming to a maturity point. The plugins released with the default install are primarily those written by the maintainers of the codebase; third-party developers shan’t expect such freedoms.

    Where WordPress could definitely stand to improve is in having a centralized plugin database. That effort is starting quite fitfully, at least to my eyes…

    Not sure what is going on here…

    1. Copied folder to plugins folder
    2. Activated plugin
    3. Made cache.txt writeable
    4. Dropped into comments.php

    Nothing showing up anywhere. I tried moving the call to different places in comments.php and still not showing.

    Any ideas? Thanks :)

    I upgraded and now it’s not working. I have the same problem as Geof above (#97).

  7. Mark says:

    JoeBruin88, it’s working fine on your site… I can see it.

    Shadow, it’s showing up on your site, but you have one of those funky layouts with floated left and right columns, so it gets pushed down all the way. Open up the plugin file and look for <p style="clear:both;"> and change it to <p> and that’ll fix your problem. In a future version I’ll make that an option, something like “enable this option if the signup form is pushed to the bottom of the page.”

    And guys, remember that if you have a Gravatar in your WP profile or comment cookie, you won’t see the signup box (because you already have a Gravatar!)

    Thanks for the explanation :)

    A very nice addition and much appreciated.

  10. I’m using your plugin in my blog … thank you !

    Hillside Meditations is now Gravatar-enabled.
    With the help of the WordPress Gravatar plugin 1.1 and the Gravatar Signup Plugin 1.5 using gravatars with Hillside Meditations should be easy enough.
    Well, I have to confessed that I was a bit handicap…

    This seems to have a bad reaction when used in conjunction with trenscaspammers plug-in which creates a random code to help prevent comment spam. Both plug-ins do not play well together. You can ingnore the random code if this is activated and then it doesn’t take you to the gravatar site either.

  13. Mark says:

    Elana, that plugin looks quite invasive, and is using code dating back to WordPress 1.2 for handling comments that is likely interfering. That might not be the best choice for spam prevention. I recommend Bad Behavior and Spam Karma 2. They keep me spam free, without the hassle of a CAPTCHA for commenters.

  14. Elana says:

    Thanks. I’ll look into both those plugins this evening.

  24. [...] Gravatar Signup is a plugin that puts a checkbox in your comments form that says “Sign me up for a free Gravatar!” If the user checks that box, some additional text and a password field will appear right below the checkbox. If the comment form is submitted with the Gravatar box checked, with a valid e-mail address provided, and with a password in the Gravatar password field, the plugin will sign the commenter up for a Gravatar as their comment is posted. They’ll get an e-mail from Gravatar just as if they had used the signup form at the Gravatar site. [...]
