[Resolved] Getting avatar to show next to author name on post pages

[Kevin Wabiszewski]

Hello,

I am trying to get my gravatar icon to show next to the author name on my website

Tom sent me this link

https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/add-author-photo-for-each-post-in-blog-home/#post-335202

I posted it into the code snippets plugin but the gravitar still does not seem to be showing. Any advice?

Hi there,

Any chance you can link us to the site in question?

You can edit the original topic and use the private URL field.

Let me know 🙂

Yes this isn’t the same website I will be using the theme on but you can see the setup here.

I just tried the exact snippet using Code Snippets plugin and it’s working for me:

So you’ve added the snippet to the site you linked above and the snippet itself is activated?

[Kevin Wabiszewski]

Thanks for the quick response. Did you just paste it into the code snippets plugin? Anything else I need to do? Maybe it is because I made the date and author unclickable.

[Leo]

Yup probably. Can you temporarily remove other code and just make sure this one is working?

[Kevin Wabiszewski]

Yeah that was the problem. Now I need to figure out how to get them to work together haha.

OK try removing everything you have before and just add this:

add_filter( 'generate_post_author_output', 'tu_add_author_gravatar' );
function tu_add_author_gravatar() {
	printf( ' <span class="byline">%1$s</span>',
		sprintf( '<span class="author vcard" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author">%1$s %5$s<span class="author-name" itemprop="name">%4$s</span></span>',
			__( 'by','generatepress'),
			esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
			esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'generatepress' ), get_the_author() ) ),
			esc_html( get_the_author() ),
			get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) )
		)
	);
}
add_filter( 'generate_post_date_output','tu_remove_date_link', 10, 2 );
function tu_remove_date_link( $output, $time_string ) {
	printf( '<span class="posted-on">%s</span>',
		$time_string
	);
}

Thanks a lot Leo! I will try that out and let you know if it works.

[Kevin Wabiszewski]

It worked thanks man!

[Leo]

Glad I could help 🙂
