Description

When a site needs to replace generic avatars with real author images, the Author Photos addon adds an author photo field to DraftPress to associate an image with the profile and display it in layouts that pull author data. The extension helps blogs, digital magazines, and projects with multiple contributors maintain consistent visual identification on posts, author pages, and editorial areas.
