You need to install the “WP-Gravatar” plugin in order to allow Gravatar in your WordPress comments. Upon activating this plugin, users who leave comments on your posts will see their Gravatars next to their usernames. Additionally, you can provide a unique image that will be shown in the event that the user does not have a Gravatar account.
The core WordPress developers as well as a few professional WordPress developers feel that WordPress has gotten too old and relies too much on PHP and JavaScript. In order to address this problem, WordPress REST API was created.
WordPress will continue to run on PHP, but it suggests that developers should pick up JavaScript in order to take advantage of the advantages that APIs will provide.
By enabling Gravatars on your website, the users can also post comments without being registered. Along with this, an advantage for you is that you will be able to recognize the regular visitors to your website through their Gravatars.
Note that Gravatars match the email ids used by the users for registration.
