I have SSO setup with WordPress and have the SSO Avatar override setting set on discourse so that it uses the avatar URL from my WordPress site. However it does not seem to update if the person is using Gravatar and changes their Gravatar image. If I look at the users profile SSO Info on Discourse…

i also noticed if poeple go from a custom uploaded avatar or the default on my WP site then swtich to Gravatar the discourse forum does not update. It keeps the original avatar. Shouldn’t relogging in re-grab the avatar url and update?

I am using pt-wp-discourse-sso, and also added it to the params array; howerever it won’t work https://github.com/mautematico/pt-wp-discourse-sso/commit/365877714e5768429cb85f6ab033b9505be31c7d Do you guys have any clue about what am I missing? Edit: Tried with string instead of boolean (‘true’ i…

So far, I can’t get it working either. This works on a live site, I haven’t been able to get it working in my development environment. The SSO params that are sent to Discourse now have a filter applied to them, so you don’t need to override the plugin’s code. Adding something like this to your fu…

What i did was add the avatar_force_update = true to the array parameters on the sso login string that is generated. This causes it to redownload the avatar each time the user logs in.
