Author meta link & avatar not showing in some browsers

[natedawg]

Hello,

I’ve used the below code (from a previous forum thread) to add the author avatar to the meta data, which I moved on the page. It shows in Chrome on Mac, but not in Safari, and not in any mobile browsers I’ve tried.

Also, the avatar/name link to the homepage in Chrome, but I get a 404 error on the link in other browsers. I think there must be a better way to call get_author_posts_url ??

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Nate

Hey Nate,

I’m but investigating this issue would be getting into custom development because this is not an official part of X. Snippets provided in this forum serves only as a guide. If it doesn’t work on your end, you need to fix it yourself or hire a developer to do it for you.

We do have an in-house custom development team that offer paid services, who may be able to assist. They can be contacted at pinnacle@theme.co if this is of interest to you.

Thank you for your understanding.
