    How do I include an Author’s or Editor’s profile photo on my website? I don’t have access to any plugins. I can only associate a profile photo to my account since I play the Administrator role, but not to any other user role.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    There is no need to use a plugin to set a profile image for accounts. For example you can set yours here under your account settings. https://wordpress.com/me

    Please note that on that page you will first need to de-select the “Hide my photo and Gravatar profile.” option. Gravatar is the system we use for profile images and it’s not possible to set one while it is set to be hidden.

    Please also note that it’s not possibe to set profile images for other accounts, only the ones you can access by logging in directly. In that event you can ask any author you invite to the site to set their own here as well. The link is the same but what you see is different based on the account you are signed in under: https://gravatar.com/profile

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.

    Hi @staff-totoro thanks for your reply. My question was more related to an author that I have invited to post, and that she would like to have her photo included. Your answer clarifies what I should do.
