 * Thanks for your help.
 * However,
 * This works for posts, not for showing a photo on author.php
 * at least it doesn’t work for me

 * Thank you, I think we’re getting somewhere
 * Now I get this instead of the image :
 * Warning: Missing argument 1 for get_userdata(), called in /home/.tooter/wp-content/
   themes/polaroidtheme/author.php on line 17 and defined in tzipiyah.com/wp-includes/
   pluggable.php on line 121

 * Whew, have to review the stuff, ok let’s try another way. Just before the loop,
   add this
 *     ```
       <?php
       if(isset($_GET['author_name'])) :
       $curauth = get_userdatabylogin($author_name);
       else :
       $curauth = get_userdata(intval($author));
       endif;
       ?>
       ```
   
 * then your name
    then inside the loop `<?php echo userphoto_the_author_photo();?
   >`

 * Thanks but…
    Again :-/, I hope I’m not becoming annoying.
 * I want to display the picture outside of the loop, in a profile I create for 
   each user on author.php . When I use your code in author.php (not the posts but
   the profile section), nothing shows up…

 * I use this plugin:
 * [http://geekgrl.net/2007/01/02/profile-pics-plugin-release/](http://geekgrl.net/2007/01/02/profile-pics-plugin-release/)
 * And have this in my author.php:
 * <?php
    global $wp_query, $userdata; $memberdata = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
   get_currentuserinfo();
 * if (!strstr(author_image_path($memberdata->ID,false), “default”))
    author_image_tag(
   $memberdata->ID); ?>

 * [@dillouz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dillouz/): Try this:
 *     ```
       global $authordata;
       $authordata=get_userdata(get_query_var( 'author' ));
       userphoto_the_author_photo();
       ```
