Author Signature and Picture

    I have author signature (or whatever you call the author part) in each one of my posts.

    There’s a picture area, but I can’t find anywhere to put a picture in my profile page so it defaults to the blank state.

    Where do you input the picture that shows up there?

    Also is it possible to have the author part only visible for specific post types? I’d like to have it up for blog posts, but not for my videos custom post type.

  • WordPress uses Gravatar for pulling in author photos. Set up your photo there and it will appear in Decode.

    And at this point, I don’t have an option for that. Supporting custom post types is tricky because they are used in hundreds of different ways.

    That makes sense.

    I guess I’ll try and do it myself. Any idea how to go about it?

    Head to Gravatar.com it’s really not too hard to sign up, etc.

    No I mean the custom post type thing. Gravatar is very easy to do.

    Ah. In content-single.php, on line 88:

    <?php if (get_theme_mod( 'show_author_section', false ) == true ) : ?>

    should be changed to

    <?php if (get_theme_mod( 'show_author_section', false ) == true && ! is_singular( 'YOURPOSTTYPE' ) ) : ?> ) : ?>

    I’d recommend setting up a child theme.

    I got a child theme and now with 2.8.4 it works again, I changed the line (it was on line 78 in my notepad++) and it works perfectly.

    Also you can see my picture is now up as well ??

    Thank you so much!

    Perfect!
