Hi Patrice,
It looks like you’ve gone through the steps appropriately — you installed the plugin, selected a profile image, and made sure to click the “Update Profile” button.
The picture in the upper corner of the page is the one in the admin bar, correct? This corresponds to your Gravatar, not your Easy Author Image. If you want to display your author image, you’ll need to add it to your template manually (recommended) or download something like PHP Widget and insert the code in there.
Refer to the plugin’s FAQ page for example code on how to retrive your author profile image.
As for making your photo appear in Google search results, this has nothing to do with this plugin (or WordPress, for that matter) and everything to do with your Google+ profile. The picture you see in your search results is your Google+ profile picture — there’s nothing you can do in WordPress to change that.
As for the mystery man still showing up in your theme, this is because your theme is calling for your Gravatar still as the default avatar. I just recently pushed out an enhancement to the plugin (v1.1) that will look for your Gravatar if you don’t have your EAI profile picture set.
Let me know if you still need help with Google+. Send me a support request at http://lawsonry.com/support.
Hi, author picture wont show on buddypress (only misteryman). Do you know how to fix this?
I had the same issue when using Chrome and logged in as Admin. The plugin worked as expected after logging in as the individual users in Firefox.
So we need a plugin for the plugin and also edit the template? Why not just include the feature in the widget plugin in Easy Author Image?
Ok, after fixing the image upload issue using bimmy’s solution in another thread, I ran into the problem of author image not showing as encountered by prodigiworld. I found that uncommenting the block of code starting at “Add option Use your avatar as the default avatar”, fixed the problem of a missing option on the Discussion Settings: My Easy Author Image Profile Picture.
Now the author image works fine with WP and with BuddyPress activated.

Mark.
Here’s the block of commented code:
// Add option Use your avatar as the default avatar
/*
if ( !function_exists('addgravatar') ) {
function addgravatar( $avatar_defaults ) {
$user = wp_get_current_user();
$myavatar = get_the_author_meta( 'author_profile_picture', $user->ID );
// Change path to your custom avatar
$avatar_defaults[$myavatar] = 'My Easy Author Image Profile Picture';
// Change to your avatar name
return $avatar_defaults;
}
add_filter( 'avatar_defaults', 'addgravatar' );
}
*/
