Hi, I don’t know when this happened (maybe with a recent update??) but I can’t find anyone else talking about it either… but I just discovered my author profile pictures are missing. The theme is using the “Mystery Man” instead of the uploaded pics I had. But when I go into Users>> Edit>> the option to upload a picture is missing altogether (see screenshot) …so this is very weird!

Can you please help?

Hi Daphne,

WordPress profiles fetches profile pictures from your gravatar account. Can you confirm the other users have their gravatar account connected to the same email with which the user account is created?

Thanks

I’ll ask them to confirm, but I uploaded their profile pics before and they were present. So I’m assuming you think WP updated recently and it changed this feature?

Update: I found a plugin called WP User Avatar that lets you use your own uploaded photos. This fixed the problem. Thanks

oops… need a bit more help please…

(see screenshot) The author box avatar has no right margin. I tried adding this:

.x-author-box .avatar {
  margin-right: 10;
}

But it didn’t change anything. Can you offer a solution? Thanks 🙂

Hello There,

The 3rd party plugin has it’s own custom css that overrides the avatar styling. Please update your code and use this instead:

.x-author-box .avatar {
    margin-left: 0;
    max-width: 90px;
}

Hope this helps.

[Daphne D]

yes! thank you!
