1) gravatars are not trackers, they are the default author images in WordPress; which you can disable/remove from the AMP template if you don’t want them. We did that for one site. Just edit the template.
2)
to ‘scrub’ AMP functionality:
you need to
a) remove/uninstall AMP plugin
b) clear ‘transients’ – using something like WP-Optimize plugin
c) resave permalinks
d) clear caching/reset CDN if used
e) resave permalinks again

Thanks it worked!
I also noticed my XML sitemaps got messed after I started to use WP AMP.
In the change frequency column, “weekly” is spelled “weekeekekkeekly” and “daily” is spelled “daiaiiaily”.
Do you know if these are related. I raised an issue at Yoast SEO’s forum but didn’t get a response solving the problem.
Awesome 🙂
Glad I could help. Been using this since November so run into stuff of all sorts on our news network! Hence the “hey, I know what that might be …” (even though I don’t work here).
For the YOAST SEO thing, you might try
a) change the number of items from 1000 to 999, click save
I do that sometimes to “reset” the YOAST SML sitemap. Seems to work.

Thanks again.
I found meanwhile that it was a Chrome Canary bug and does not happen in Chrome stable. Strange bug.
