where do you upload the avatar that shows on the upper right section of triden. I see a grey generic face and I have the avatar plugin and I change the avatar but the same generic face shows up on the main page.
@mcandrei The avatar is working on my welcome back admin on Triden, Nelo and Dixi. Sounds like it may be a problem with the avatars plugin which has several steps to install properly.
Can you tell me if you are seeing the Avatar displaying when you write comments on a post?
Yes the avatar is working on your comments so would expect it would work on the Welcome back admin. Just to confirm that we are talking about the same avatar I've included a screenshot of it working on my site.
The most common reasons I've seen issues with it are:
1. Older versions of WPMU Triden, Dixi and Nelo
2. User hasn't cleared their web browser cache

hmm. currently can't load your screenshot, not sure why. Ill try again in a few hours with another browser/computer. but I think it is the same according to the description of john268, a grey smiling face next to the login/logout, author profile link.
I downloaded the Dixi only a couple weeks ago, so unless this was resolved more recent than that, I would expect this to be the most current version.
i'll check the installation of the avatar again later
The latest versions of those themes were uploaded to Premium on 3 April. John268 would have had problems because he was using the older version of this theme.

Yes that is the one. Using a public computer I never used before and this grey face is still smiling at me (probably more laughing at me than smiling).
double checked the installation of avatars, put all the files into the right directories,
created the folders /wp-content/avatars/user
adn /wp-content/avatars/blog with the indicated chmod, and added the line RewriteRule ^(.*/)?avatar/(.*) wp-content/avatar.php?file=$2 [L] to the htaccess file in /public_html/wp-content and /public_html/.
James, where am I supposed to see the line you quoted?
<?php echo get_avatar($user_ID,'48',get_option('avatar_default')); ?>

On iPhone. Excuse short. 99% time = cache issue in browser. Please give link and what avatar should look like. Clear browser or force browser reload.

Hi mcandrei, are you using the latest version of triden?
And (sorry for asking) have you tried a hard refresh?
Member (joined May 2009) Likes (0)
Sorry, should have mentioned, I am using Dixi. hard refresh via ctrl and F5?yes, I tried.

I'll have to pass this one on to Barry - I thought
<?php echo get_avatar($user_ID,'48',get_option('avatar_default')); ?>would display the avatar just fine (you do have the avatars plugin installed, right?)

In the profiles.php file I see the following code. should I also see the get_Avatar code James mentioned?
<h3>Welcome Back, /wp-admin/profile.php"><?php echo $user_identity; ?></h3>
<ul class="list">
<?php echo "<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=$md5&size=52&default=$default' alt='$user_identity' />"; ?>
<span id="profile-stuff">
">Author Homepage
/wp-admin/profile.php">Profile | <?php wp_loginout(); ?> </span>
</p>
