Bug Site favicon / admin avatar showing for all users instead of social profile avatars

Hi @john-muller ,

Please note that this is a free support community, it can takes a few days to get answer so please be patient especially on weekends.

First please disable wpDiscuz and make sure the avatars are there when wpDiscuz is disabled. If they are not displayed then this is not wpDiscuz issue. I recommend also change the avatar from Gravatar logo to the first default one and delete all caches.

Common issues to investigate:

• Avatar plugin conflicts: If you're using a dedicated avatar plugin (like Simple User Avatar or Ultimate Member), it might be overriding the social profile images. Check if there's a priority or fallback setting that's causing the site favicon to display instead.
• Media permissions: Some setups don't have proper permissions to download and store remote images. Verify your /wp-content/uploads/ directory has correct permissions (usually 755).
• API scope issues: Make sure your Google and X app configurations include permissions to access profile photos. If the scope is limited, the plugin won't be able to retrieve the images.
• Caching: Sometimes caching plugins can interfere. Try temporarily disabling any caching to see if that's the culprit.

Quick troubleshooting steps:

1. Test by creating a new test user account via social login and see if the avatar pulls through
2. Check your WordPress error logs for any permission or API errors
3. Verify that the social app credentials are current and haven't been revoked.
