[tantek] GWG you up? Got a question about how to make an avatar show up in the ActivityPub plugin (so it sends it to AP / Mastodon followers when you post)

Guest6372 hi, I now have my site "on the fediverse" via the AP plugin. Everything works as far as I can tell, a newly published post showed up, updates to the post are also directly shown. The only thing that's missing: there's only a generic "WordPress" avatar showing. I used fed.brid.gy before the AP pluign and there "my" avatar showed.
#
Guest6372 @blog@webrocker.de is the via AP plugin instance; @webrocker.de@webrocker.de is the one via fed.brid.gy. Since I don't use the author profiles because I want all posts published, where should the avatar-image be set and how? thanks :-)
#
GWG Yes?
#
GWG I'm not really aggressively using the plugin so I'd have to check

Guest6204 I think I found where I need to have a look: https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/blob/master/includes/model/class-blog-user.php#L149C2-L176C3
#
GWG That says that the avatar is the site icon or custom logo, usually set in the Appearance tab
#
Guest6204 yes. since I run my own theme I never touched the customizer, lets see how this goes. thank you :-)
