Avatars in the demo

[brewha51 0]

I'd like to have a page similar to the demo in which there is a picture posted to the left of the post. Is this the author's avatar placement? the WP-thumbnail plug-in would only process, but never really add any content. Is there a way to manually add an avatar or other picture in the same placement as in the demo? Thanks!

These are called 'thumbs' and the WP-post-thumbnail is there to help you get this effect. Basically the default functionality of the theme is to use a custom field called 'thumb' as the post image. This means if you have a custom field called 'thumb' with a value set to the URL of a 200px by 200px image, then these will show up, just like the demo. The plugin (wp-post-thumbnail) is just a utility to help you do this.. unfortunately sometimes people have issues getting it working correctly.

I using "thumb" for the thumbnails at the top of the post. Do I do the same for the author picture??”thumb and address of the photo?

Hi I too was looking for a solution and came across your request - A bit of looking around I found 'Poster Avatar' that once installed placed an avatar just after 'by' and before the 'user name' at the top of the blog post - The plug-in allows for a little CSS directly from within the settings tab - I wrote: float: left; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-right: 20px; width: 70px; height: 70px; The CSS above moved the avatar to the left and shifted the text to the right - perfect placement. I then went into the style sheet and added a margin to the text left for a little more space. Hope this helps! I think I have it right that you want user avatars to be automatically added - not exactly the same as the demo but very close.
