 * Hi! I am trying your plugin, it’s great!
 * I am using the Wisdom of Life Theme, and when I post a blog, the author image
   does not show as it should (80×80), but it thumbnail to 80×70.
 * When I configure the image through gravatar.com, then I see it 80×80.
 * Where can I edit that, so that the image is retrieved at the original size?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hi, Gravatar forces all of its images square. What I think is happening in your
   case is the original image was less than 150px in height. If you left your Media
   settings with the default settings ([http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-image-with-wrong-size/?output_format=md){
   yoursite}/wp-admin/options-media.php), thumbnails are cropped to 150×150. However,
   let’s say I have an original image that is 300×140. The thumbnail image that 
   WordPress will create for it will actually measure 150×140.
 * You can try getting around this by uploading a slightly larger image or by cropping
   the image yourself to a perfect square. (You can do this in the Media Library.)
   Or you can change the default thumbnail sizes to something smaller and regenerate
   your thumbnails with this plugin: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/)
