Author Card Photo Not showing

Just moved my existing blog http://www.bigday.io to the Newspaper theme. None of my existing authors photos are shwoing up in the author card, even after I re uploaded the image. Please advise.

The theme uses gravatars by default unless you’re using an author photo plugin.

Thank you. I’m not sure what that means, though.

If no gravatar is available it should show something?? Right. In my case, nothing is showing.

Could you please explain this Barney style since I’ve had the theme for about 6 seconds?

WordPress basics:
a) in wordpress settings panel > discussion, ‘use gravatars’ needs to be “on” — with no gravatar associated with user email, default image will be used (see your WP settings for options such as head, monster, etc.)
b) each user needs to have a photo setup on gravatar website, and that is pulled based on email account associated with that account (this is how WP works)
c) optionally you can use a plugin where you upload local images and assign those to each user

WordPress docs also useful:

Thank you! All of that was very helpful.

I think were using a plugin, something like simple local avatars, .. I thought i put that in my optimization sticky topic… On my ipad… Not great with this funky beta secure browser im testing… Makes ipad trick site into thinking on deskyop ?

Thanks but the steps outlined fail to make the photo/Hovercard appear for us (this stopped working/is broken. We would also like to have the Author’s photo appear next to the byline. How is this possible in Newspaper?

Thanks WP User Avatar works great!

Thats the one i use too ?
