Description

I deactivated Gravatar during the installation process in the web-front-end and found myself unable to reactivate it. Setting "Disable Gravatar" to false and restart gitea is neither recognized in the admin section of the web-front-end nor does it has any effect. Any other change in app.ini, like changing the instance title, is recognized.

@noerw commented on GitHub (May 13, 2021):

This setting is overridden by OFFLINE_MODE (if true, gravatar will stay disabled) and ENABLE_FEDERATED_AVATAR, try to set

[server]
OFFLINE_MODE = false

[picture]
ENABLE_FEDERATE_AVATAR = true
DISABLE_GRAVATAR = false
