  My picture doesn’t show on facebook, and the format is huge on the smartphone. It won’t format. What do I need to do?

  We have no control over the images that Twitter, Facebook or any other social networks chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.

  Ok. The picture is showing. Now, how do I get my name to show as the author of my blog? Thanks.

  Many themes don’t display the author unless there is more than one user on the site. In fact, very few themes have an author profile that displays below every post. The data is derived from here > Dashboard > Users > My Profile > About You (section) and anything you add there appears on your Gravatar profile page as well.

  The point of displaying an author name is to differentiate the posts on an multi-author site. Regardless of the theme, and provided the theme is designed to display a byline, bylines will only display now if there are at least two authors who both have at least one published post in the blog. There’s a single author workaround here.
