Description

When avatar display is disabled in WordPress under Settings > Discussion, WPGraphQL still provides the avatar URL in responses at viewer.avatar.url.

For comparison, the WP REST API does not include the avatar URLs in responses when this setting is disabled.

Screenshot of setting being referenced:

Example query:

query NewQuery {
  viewer {
    avatar {
      url
    }
  }
}

Output from example query:

{
  "data": {
    "viewer": {
      "avatar": {
        "url": "http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/729ae85bf62b9917e93538db2f2688ca?s=96&d=mm&r=g"
      }
    }
  }
}

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to Settings > Discussions in wp-admin
2. Ensure the "Show Avatars" checkbox is NOT checked and save the settings
3. Do the above example query
4. See avatar URLs in response
