   Hello Milo

   In BTe is there a suggested way to upload author images (like with lead images)?

   I ask because I don't want to override some method I've missed (or misunderstood) by 'hard-coding' the path, for example.

   Ta, Phil

   Adding note: again, I might be missing the obvious (in WP) but cannot find anywhere in WP user profile to add 'avatar' that would be likely image to use.

   Hope this makes sense.

   It's much easier, this lines

   <?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/<?php echo $curauth->nickname; ?>.jpg

   indicate that your displayed author name is used as your image name, i.e. your displayed author name is BOB, then you have to create an image called bob.jpg (max 130px X 130px) and upload it to the "themes image folder", then it will show auto.

   Same wourld work for each new author.

   Thanks so much. In retrospect I realise the answer was staring me in the face - emails arriving from the test blog with subject line:

   "Bad Link To /wp-content/themes/BTextended/images/The%20Editor.jpg" :0)

   Please excuse us dummies, we have day jobs far removed from all this.

   Ahh, no prob, glad I clould help =)

   Note: WP has sometimes probs with display name, when the author name was/is changed.
   You can use the user login name to avoid issues like so:

   <?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/<?php $curauth->user_login; ?>.jpg

   then use the user login name (i.e. rose) as a reference like so: rose.jpg
