Please help. How do I get the post avatar to show up beside the title. I know your sites says to use the short code, but i have no Idea where to put it. I am using a Child theme of TwentyEleven. I only have header.php , functions.php, style.css, Page.php in my child theme folder.
Sorry for commenting in the wrong section. Thought that commenting on your latest post will get attention.
I’ve tested the plugin with a HTML5 theme and an XHTML Transitional and none of the errors I got were related to the default output generated by the plugin:
Oops! You’re right, sorry about that. I didn’t dig deep enough. The errors were mentioning something about “hide avatars,” but it was actually being caused by Disqus comments, where avatars were being hidden. I jumped to conclusions, I apologize.
I have installed Post Avatar, and then I wanted to use it, but I can’t. I am quite sure I added the right path to the images folder, I even added the full URL, but somehow nothing works: if I want to post, there’s nothing to choose from. Now, I wonder if I think of this plugin in the wrong way, of if I make another mistake that I haven’t thought of?
Oh and also, this plugin seems to be too heavy for my site? For some reason I get white space in the body of my text field (where one has to type the text etc), and it stays blank even while I’m typing. This also happens when I want to edit text from before. As soon as I deactivate this plugin everything seems to work fine.
You should not place the full URL into the path to images folder. For example if your the icons folder was in http://mydomain.com/wp-content/icons, you just put ‘wp-content/icons/’ as the path.
please tell mo how to remove the border of the avatar. there’s something about putting a code in the loop but i’m new in this things and i don’t know how. Can anyone help me?
Hi!,
I’ve updated to the last version of Post Avatar and now in each post appear I’ve remove this code from options panel of this plugin but don’t save me the changes.
Thank you very much
before the text would wrap around the avatar in the posts that were written, now it is simply the avatar and then the text, is there a way to fix this?
Please check the HTML option in Post Avatar Settings – the HTML is showing up as <div class="\\”postavatar\\”">. Make sure to save the settings again. If it doesn’t work, let me know what version of WordPress you are using so I can cross check.
I updated, saved settings–and it won’t find half or more of my post avatars. They’re in the file. I go into a post to edit it, and in the post avatar section is the little broken image symbol. I can change the avatar, then change it BACK, and the original appears. But save that, and it’s gone again.
I checked the files are in the images folder, made sure the path is correct…

no. none of the said templates has that gkl_postavatar code. i played around a little n again, i noticed that everytime i changed the php code: the_excerpt, to the_content, it works fine. however, my excerpt plugin won’t work if I keep it as content.
I’m using the Black Lucas theme, in which i modified the layout, though i leave almost all the coding untouched except for changing the content code to excerpt. as for plugins, i’m using AVH Extended Categories Widgets, Custom Field Template, Fancy Excerpt, Post Avatar, Rating-Widget Plugin, SEO Smart Links, TinyMCE Templates, Twitter Widget Pro, and WordPress Database Backup. Thank you so much for the help. Very much appreciated by the way. Love your plug-in.
We finally figured out the cause of the double display. The Fancy Excerpt plugin is calling a filtered the_content inside the filter for the_excerpt. The fix for this is to place the following inside functions.php:
I posted a comment earlier about having double avatar. I just want to add that it only does that on templates that uses this code:
Every template (i.e. index.php, search.php, archive.php) that has this code has a double avatars. My template (single.php) is the only one that doesn’t because the code was:
Vix, can you explain what you mean by “template tag” …does this mean one would be able to pick the position ? Has anyone been able to get this to show up on the same line as the author title (byline)?
The automatic display includes the post avatar image with the post content so by using <?php gkl_postavatar(); ?> as a template tag in your theme file, you have total control over where the image will appear.
After update, post-avatar stopped working. It still pops up in the individual posts, but it showed up on the main blog page before, and now it doesn’t. Is there any way I can roll back to an earlier version or somehow fix this?
I thought this was gonna work for sure, the comments on that article were positive. But it did not. I also deactivated all the other plugins, and didn’t work either. I forgot to mention that, the very first time I used Post Avatar it did load succesfully. But I realized that I needed to add images. So I added one image, and then went back to make a new post, and that’s when it started. Every time I click on new or edit, it takes around 15 seconds to load the editor page, it returns the error.
I think you may have to check with your host as to the amount of memory that you have. It’s possible that once you’ve got WordPress up and running, your server doesn’t have enough memory to process additional plugins.
Yes, I am using the latest version of the Plugin. And in my folder, I only had one picture, I was just gonna test it. Perhaps, I should mention that I am using another avatar Plugin, the one that adds a filed in yer profile to upload an image “Simple Local Avatars”.
In order to confirm if there is a problem with the current version of Post Avatar (I revised it yesterday), can you download the previous working version of the plugin: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/post-avatar.1.3.1.zip and see if you still get the error.
The Plugin keeps crashing every time I try to edit, or post a new post. This is what it says:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in wp-content/plugins/post-avatar/gkl-postavatar.php on line 153
If you’re using the current version: 1.3.2, the line of code relates to the listing of the images. Do you have a lot of images in the defined post avatar folder?
Hi! Love your plugin!
Is there a way for the avatar to be at the bottom of each post instead of at the top?
Thanks so much!

I’ve moved your comment to the support section.
Please place any comments related to Post Avatar here.
You will need to make a copy of the “content.php” file that comes with Twenty Eleven and place in your child theme folder.
Then using the instructions noted here – USING THE TEMPLATE TAG “gkl_postavatar”, place the template tag with custom HTML near the H1 title.
Hello, i’m working with this plugin and I’m trying to add this in the editor of a custom post type. Is this possible?
Thanks.
I’m getting about a dozen XHTML markup errors caused by the Post Avatar plugin, as shown with the tool at http://validator.w3.org/
Is there any fix for this? Will the next update address it? When will the next update be?
I really like using the plugin, it looks nice, and it’s easy.
But the errors are annoying and hurting the rendering of the site on mobile devices, etc.
Any hints? Thank you!
I’ve tested the plugin with a HTML5 theme and an XHTML Transitional and none of the errors I got were related to the default output generated by the plugin:
<div class="postavatar"><img src="http://localhost/wplatest/wp-content/icons/image.jpg" width="100" height="100" alt="test-update" /></div>Is this the markup that you see?

The slow loading time is being caused by the folder that you’ve specified. See my earlier comment on how to fix this.
You should not place the full URL into the path to images folder. For example if your the icons folder was in http://mydomain.com/wp-content/icons, you just put ‘wp-content/icons/’ as the path.
Thanks for your help, this got it all fixed.
please tell mo how to remove the border of the avatar. there’s something about putting a code in the loop but i’m new in this things and i don’t know how. Can anyone help me?
Just edit wp-content/plugins/post-avatar/head/gkl-postavatar.css
.postavatar img {
border: 2px solid #FFFFFF;
Replace border:none or remove border code there or comment it out
Hi,

Many thanks in advance for your time.

I updated the HTML in the “Post Avatar Settings” and the issue is still occurring. Is there anything else I need to do?

Thank you for your time on this!
Thanks so much for figuring it out! All fixed now. 🙂
I updated this morning and now appears around my image and I don’t know why or how to get rid of it…
<div class=\”postavatar\”></div> That is
The upgrade notice specified that you need to save the Post Avatar settings again. It updates the how the HTML code is saved.

Can you see if there is this code in the templates you mentioned:
< ?php gkl_postavatar(); ?>What theme and plugins are you using so I can try to figure out why you’re getting the double display.
I’m getting double avatars. Since I’m using the latest version of WP and the plug0in, I’m not sure how to fix this. Any help? Thanks in advance.
Any suggestions on where to get some free images that would be suitable to use as avatars?
Keith, I would try avatarhell.com
Vix, can you explain what you mean by “template tag” …does this mean one would be able to pick the position ? Has anyone been able to get this to show up on the same line as the author title (byline)?

I’m guessing the problem is on my end. I will read the link you sent me and see if that fixes it. Thank you for the fast response. 🙂

If you do, then the problem is a lack of memory on your end.

The Plugin keeps crashing every time I try to edit, or post a new post. This is what it says:
