 * Hi,
 * So I am using your handy little plugin on several of my site, but they all give
   the same error in Google’s Pagespeed Insights:
 * “Image elements do not have explicit width and height”
 * The error is in red, which suggests google thinks it mandatory to be fixed.
 * Any chance you can specify (or at least allow us to do it) a width and height
   for the author images, as this is standard web practice? Particularly since google
   already rolled out it’s Core Web Vitals updates…

 * Hi,
    Thank you for letting us know. We’ll get it fixed 👍 In the meantime, the
   only way to solve the problem is to edit plugin files to add `width` and `height`
   attributes on the image element.

 * Hi guys,
 * Thanks for adding the fix. The error is gone but now I’m getting a new one saying
   the image is not properly sized. The pic is actually bigger than the width and
   height attributes. is there anyway you can auto-generate images in the right 
   size (100×100) or is this size actually variable depending on the device (laptop,
   tablet, phone) etc?
 * Thanks you! 🙂

 * Hi,
 * Can you give us a link to the page that has the author box on?
    Are you using
   a custom image or the avatar?

 * It’s a custom image. I typically upload larger ones as I’m not sure what the 
   right size should be depending on the device and viewport.
