Can any Wordpress folks give me some advice? I don't like my website reaching out to Gravatar to provide a profile picture; both for myself when I post and for anyone else using my website. Is it possible to stop this? And if so, is it possible for my site itself to provide the profile picture, so that it can still be available via Activitypub? Many thanks! #wordpress #indieweb #activitypub #selfhosting
@flowti There are various free plugins that can replace gravatar with local images, if you prefer. Most of them use the existing functionality to replace the images, so will work with ActivityPub, perhaps.
@otto42 Thank you :)
@flowti Yeah, the WordPress action/filter system basically allows plugins to replace large parts of WordPress. If done correctly, then it is basically simply changing easily replaced sections with their own code. In other words, this is easy enough for the majority of plugins, doing it to do it in a standard and obvious way.
@otto42 OK, that makes sense; thanks for the explanation. Does that mean then that everything an extension does on/to my site can be viewed in my site's code?
@flowti No, not necessarily but It does make sense for a lot of that.
@benlk Thanks!
@flowti I’d recommend the „Avatar Privacy“ plugin.
It does exactly what you’re looking for and is recommend to be used with the ActivityPub plugin. (And don’t worry about the little banner up top it works just fine with the current WP version)
@simon Amazing, thank you!
