Its ok i have managed a hack fix in my child theme i copied across the author template (author.php) which i then moved the following:
<figure class="featured-thumbnail thumbnail">
<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'user_email' ), 120, '', get_the_author_meta( 'nickname' ) ); ?>
</figure><!-- .author-avatar -->
<div class="author-description">
<p>
<?php the_author_meta( 'description' ); ?>
</p>
</div><!-- .author-description -->
into the header tag so it now looks like this:
<header class="page-header">
<h1 class="page-title">
<?php
/* Queue the first post, that way we know
* what author we're dealing with (if that is the case).
*/
the_post();
printf( __( 'About: %s', 'duena' ), get_the_author() );
/* Since we called the_post() above, we need to
* rewind the loop back to the beginning that way
* we can run the loop properly, in full.
*/
?>
<div class="author-description">
<p>
<?php the_author_meta( 'description' ); ?>
</p>
</div><!-- .author-description -->
<div id="image">
<figure class="featured-thumbnail thumbnail">
<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'user_email' ), 120, '', get_the_author_meta( 'nickname' ) ); ?>
</figure><!-- .author-avatar -->
</div>
</h1>
</header><!-- .page-header -->
I hope it helps any one in the same situation
