08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot public author avatar
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is the output empty?
Check the actual source context and saved value. Public post/attachment and author restrictions apply; the default empty behavior renders nothing.
Why does the value appear unchanged after editing its source?
The widget reads source values at render time, but a full-page cache may need normal invalidation.
