Not for novices or the faint-hearted!

I have this same problem. How can I fix it?

Greetings,

First of all thanks for pointing out the issue with the forum registration. I had no clue it was doing that. I had just recently enabled the email confirmation to tackle the endless spamming as posting was a little bit too open. It is now working but was a bad issue for someone like yourself attempting to get support.

I’m sorry you were having so many issues with the plugin. It is very easy to use as it simply creates a plugin to add to your sidebar or uses a one line php entry if your modifying a theme’s post/page template directly.

I think the issue simply lies in confusion about what the plugin is intended to do. It basically allows you to upload an image to a user’s profile in WordPress. This is done under Users->Your Profile at the very end of the screen. The uploaded image is stored in an authors subdirectory under wp-content. There is no tie in with gravatars at all. It should not have caused any side effects.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for answering.

I wanted to use the plugin exactly as you described in your last paragraph.

What makes me think that there’s some kind of conflict with Gravatar images is that I had tried to use your plugin to include an image for one particular author. But I couldn’t make it work. Then when I uninstalled the plugin and deleted the files, the Gravatar image still would not show up, but I got only a blank image instead of the Gravatar image.

It’s been a while, and I’ll have to revisit the issue, because I would really like to be able to use the plugin.

Note the end of my original comment: Can you assure users that if they uninstall and delete your plugin files, everything will default to native WordPress and Gravatar (if installed). That means no hooks left behind, etc. It would probably mean testing on several different setups on other computers.

What theme are you using? I assume this is with the latest WordPress 3.5 version?

Your uninstall comment is what is perplexing me as this plugin doesn’t make any changes to the database schema nor update any other data. Once the plugin is deactivate it wouldn’t be hooking into anything. There is a transient data entry. Perhaps there is a conflict with the theme or another plugin using the same name.

I have the same problem too. I just installed the plugin, upload pictures of administrators and authors, but the pictures don’t appear.

WP-content is set 777 as you ask in the plugin page. I use Magazinum as theme for my magazine. I use Firefox as browser and the cache was cleared.

WordPress version is 3.5.2

Thank you for your help.

Hi Mike,

H’mm .. .your response is interesting. Makes me wonder why I got the results I did when installing and uninstalling your plugin was all …

I use Weaver ii pro latest version. And Gravatar was active for the default images.

@daragott,

Did you add <?php the_author_image();?> to the template for your theme?

@inge12,

I’ll have to load up Weaver ii to see what happens. I know that theme has many options and is very configurable. Perhaps there is issue as to how the filter/hook works together.

Upss no, but where in the template I must add this?

I ve added <?php the_author_image();?> in the template of my theme, but it does nt work. I’m not really good to do this. I suppose it was not at the good place, but I’m confused

Can you ask a question regarding your understanding (not saying it is incorrect either) of the plugin’s functionality?

Are you looking for the author’s image to be appearing in the comment replies for a page/post or the image to appear next to the page/post’s title?

Hello Mike Koepke. I want to have the image of the author of a post at the beginning of the article.

As example, in this post, you have the name of the author, and I want the photo too: https://x-centricmodels.com/mag/?p=5461

I’m not familiar with the theme you use. Typically you’d have an index.php or single.php file in the theme.

In the file you’d see something like

<?php the_title( '<h3>', '</h3>' ); ?>

It is after this you would add
`<?php the_author_image();?>’

Thank you Mike for your help. In my theme, I have both files, index.php and single.php

But none have the code you told me: <?php the_title( ‘<h3>’, ‘</h3>’ ); ?>

Here is what we find in the 2 files:

<strong>Index.php</strong>

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; // gets current page number ?>

 	<?php if (is_home() && $paged < 2 && option::get('featured_enable') == 'on' ) { get_template_part('wpzoom', 'slider'); } // Featured Slideshow ?>

 	<div id="content">

 		<?php if ( $paged < 2 && option::get('featured_art_show') == 'on') { // Featured Article
			get_template_part('featured', 'post');

			get_template_part('featured', 'categories');
		}  ?>

		<?php if ( $paged > 1 || option::get('recent_posts') == 'on') { ?>

		<div class="archiveposts">

	 		<?php
				global $query_string; // required

				if (option::get('recent_part_exclude') != 'off') {
					if (count(option::get('recent_part_exclude'))){
						$exclude_cats = implode(",-", (array) option::get('recent_part_exclude'));
						$exclude_cats = '-' . $exclude_cats;
						$args['cat'] = $exclude_cats;
					}
				}

				/* Exclude featured posts from Recent Posts */
				if (option::get('hide_featured') == 'on') {

					$featured_posts = new WP_Query(
						array(
							'post__not_in' => get_option( 'sticky_posts' ),
							'posts_per_page' => option::get('slideshow_posts'),
							'meta_key' => 'wpzoom_is_featured',
							'meta_value' => 1
							) );

					while ($featured_posts->have_posts()) {
						$featured_posts->the_post();
						global $post;
						$postIDs[] = $post->ID;
					}
					$args['post__not_in'] = $postIDs;
				}

				$args['paged'] = $paged;
				if (count($args) >= 1) {
					query_posts($args);

I hope this will help you to understand my problem. Thank you.

To have the author image show on the single page post (the page that only display 1 post but the entire post content)

you’d edit the single.php file

‘
<h1 class=”title”>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

<span class=”alignleft”><?php the_author_image();?></span>

<?php if (option::get(‘post_author’) == ‘on’) { ?><span class=”author”><?php _e(‘by’, ‘wpzoom’); ?> <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></span><?php } ?>’

This should put the image under the title and align it to the left.
