Author Image(s) 3.5.2

Display image (if present) and/or name for the author of a post, or for all authors on the blog.Use as a replacement for in index.php (and other post templates) to display an image for a post's author (inside "the loop")Use as a replacement for in the sidebar section of your site to list all authors for the blog using an image and/or text.The plugin also provides a simple widget for listing authors.Process by which the image is located and/or text used: If a post has an 'author_image' custom field defined, the plugin checks if the value is the valid name of an image in the defined image directory. If not, it appends each of the defined image extensions, in turn, to the custom field's value, then checks if an image can be found. If no image has been found yet, it looks in the image directory for a file with a name that is the author's login name with a file extension matching one of the ones defined in image extensions. If no image has been found yet, it looks in the image directory for a file with a name that is the author's ID with a file extension matching one of the ones defined in image extensions. If no image has been found yet and Gravatar support is enabled, it then asks Gravatar for the avatar associated with the author (based on author's email address). If no image has been found yet and a blank/generic image has been defined, then the blank image is used as the author's avatar. If an image has been found and the "Show author name as well?" setting is true, or if no author image has been found and "Show author name if image is found?" setting is true, then the author's name is appended/used.Installation Unzip author-images.zip inside the /wp-content/plugins/ directory (or install via the built-in WordPress plugin installer) Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' admin menu in WordPress Go to the Users -> Author Images admin options page. Optionally customize the options.
