Wowchemy-hugo-modules: Avatar not showing up

[peperunas]

The avatar does not get loaded. I pushed it into the img/ directory and the browser tries to download the avatar from https://example.comimg/avatar.png.

I think this is the commit that broke it: 0768fee35

Your baseurl in config.toml should end with a slash (/) like in the example site - Hugo expects the baseurl to end with a slash.

Oops my bad!

Avatar not showing up for me:

• Slash in baseurl: OK
• Existing image file: OK
• Page source:

<div class="portrait" style="background-image: url('http://elloaguedes.com/img/elloa.jpg');"></div>
--
  | <meta itemprop="image" content="http://elloaguedes.com/img/elloa.jpg">

What's going on here? Anyone could help me?

I am having the same issue. Was this ever solved?

Yes! Do as follows:

• baseurl = "/"
• Config file: avatar = "yourimage.jpg"
• Put yourimage.jpg in static folder.

Thanks!

I can't get the portrait file to show instead of that spooky blue avatar.

In config.toml I have

avatar = "portrait.jpg"

And the file lives at

static/img/portrait.jpg

Still, it doesn't show. In public/index.html I have the following line:

<img class="portrait" src="/author/admin/avatar_hu52a603635ecebd45650b162dadabb4e5_12861_250x250_fill_q75_box_center.jpg" itemprop="image" alt="Avatar">

What is going wrong?

@stineb Check the following suggestions:

1. Try to put it in the root of static folder:

static/portrait.jpg

1. Grant read permissions for anyone else

What is going wrong? The portrait file is rather big, which may create a problem... Any help?
