 * Hi,
    We really like your plug-in. Does what we need to do. However, all of our
   avatar images on our multi-site network are rectangular, not square. So when 
   they are displayed in the Post Author widget, they are distorted. Is there any
   way to compensate for that… other than replacing all the avatar images with square
   images?
 * thanks!

 * Hi [@dptuck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dptuck/) thank you for the feedback.
 * The size of avatars can be customized using CSS rules:
 *     ```
       .pp-multiple-authors-layout-simple_list .avatar {
         width: 60px;
         height: 40px;
       }
       ```
   
 * You just need to change the `simple_list` to the respective layout you are using,
   if different.
 * If you are using the Free version of the plugin you will still have the old values
   added to the img tag attributes, but that can only be customized in the Pro version
   of the plugin with the custom layouts feature.
 * Please, feel free to contact us if you need anything else.
 * Thanks,
 * Anderson

 * Hi Anderson,
 * Oh good. I was wondering if the custom layouts feature in the Pro version would
   allow for this. We are currently using the Free version.
 * Question about the pricing… We are running several multisite installs. Does the
   5 site limit in the Agency subscription count each site on a multisite network
   as one site, or does it count the multisite network as one?
 * thanks,
    Denise

 * Hi [@dptuck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dptuck/)
 * Good news on that front: “A single site license is all you need to use PublishPress
   plugins on a WordPress multisite network.”

 * Ok. We’ve purchased a Pro License. We have the Authors Free version installed.
   I can’t see where to enter the license key.
    I’m following the directions on 
   this page: [https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/activate-license/](https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/activate-license/)
   But there is no License Key field in the Settings for the Author plugin. How 
   do apply the license key?
 * thanks,
    Denise

 * Hi and welcome, [@dptuck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dptuck/)
 * Can you open a support ticket on our site? That way we can give you the fastest
   support.
 * My guess is that you may still have the Free version installed.

   download and install the Pro version. If I’m still having a problem. I’ll open
   a support ticket.

 * Yep, that was the problem. I’ve got the Pro version installed, with license key
   applied. Now I just need to work through getting the custom CSS in plce to change
   the display of the avatars.
 * Thanks for your help, and quick responses!

 * Thanks [@steveburge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steveburge/). Got the
   CSS figured out but, but have encountered a different issue… the author’s bio
   information is not parsing the HTML. I’ve opened a support ticket regarding that.
 * thanks,
