How to Remove Avatars on WordPress

Remove an avatar image from your WordPress blog.

Avatars let people display an image to represent their personality on WordPress blog sites. You do not have to display avatars on your blog if you do not want. If someone uses an inappropriate avatar to post on your website, you can remove that avatar image. Removing the avatar image is a simple task that takes under fifteen minutes to complete.

Instructions

Remove Your Avatar

1. Enter your WordPress administration area by logging in to your WordPress website. The user name that you set up when you created the blog and your password that you created is the same information that you use to log in to your website.

2. Click on the gray button that says "Dashboard." This will take you to the main control panel of your WordPress website.

3. Click on the word "General" that is located under "Settings" on the lower left hand side of your WordPress dashboard.

4. Click on the button that says "Blog Image" and then click on "Remove Image." Click on the "Save" button. The image you used as an avatar will no longer appear on your blog.

Remove All Avatars

1. Locate and click on "Discussions" in the "Settings" panel on the right side of your WordPress dashboard.

2. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and locate the circle next to "Don't show avatars." Click the circle so that the black dot fills the circle.

3. Press the "Save" button at the bottom of the screen to save the discussion settings, including your avatar settings.
