The get_avatar() call should get the comment object as the first parameter – like

$avatar = get_avatar($comment, $this->meta['avatar']['options']['size'], ”);

You theme most likely uses just the email

I was just wondering if you could give me a little help or a point in the right direction,
i’m using a theme called grain on my photoblog, the plugin is fetching the comments from flickr but the avatars aren’t showing.

thx in advance

Sorry for my bad English
Probably somebody talked about it before.
I’ve installed your awesome plugin but I have problems with custom field. If I embeb photo it works well, but not with custom field. Any idea please. I’m doing something wrong? I forgot anything?

Ok, In my post I tag with [flickr size="medium" float="left"]4826941658[/flickr] [flickr size=medium]4826334887[/flickr]
and at in custom fields i use your “flickr_photo_id” tag and add (in above case) 4826941658, 4826334887.
If the first of the IDs does not contain any comments, no comments at all will be imported i.e. the first flickr id have to have comment to enable import of comment. You can see at my latest post on my blog, that the order is as above, but no comments was imported. I changed the order (b/c the second image has comments) in custom fields and then comments was imported and visualized in comments section.
Hope that I’m clear enogh, please let me know how I can assist you any further.

Rgds,
Peter

I am not sure I understand what you are trying to say – can you give some example?

Hi,
Thanks for this good plugin. I’ve been testing this for couple of weeks and discovered a “minor” bug.
If you embed your photos with Flickr Gallery plugin, the comments will not be imported at all, if the first flickr photo id does not contain any comments.
I explicity tell with custom fields which flickr photos that is embeded.

BR,
Peter

Great! Nice to know it is working. The icon is indeed a nice touch as well…

That’s what I found. I’m using get_the_content to filter out images from my post and therefore the_content() wasn’t included on my pages. I have changed that now and filter out images via functions.php. The plugin works flawlessly! Thank you so much for your help, I marked it as working on wordpress.org.
I removed the “Filckr:” though and added an icon instead. http://patrikhermansson.com/redwoods-kalifornien/

The plugin depends on

add_filter( ‘get_avatar’,'get_flickr_avatar’, 10, 3 );
add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘live_flickr_comment_importer’);
add_action(‘admin_menu’, ‘lfci_config_page’);

All of which work in pretty much any theme. I can’t really speculate on what is the problem with your theme.

Also if by any chance you have marked the puling as ‘not working’ on the wordpress site it would be kind if you can now mark it as working….
