 * I know avatars are supposed to be square, but I have a legacy site that expects
   them to be non-square, and I’m certain it used to display the full image. I tried
 * get_wp_user_avatar(get_the_author_meta(‘ID’), ‘original’);
 * but I still get an image that appears pre-truncated (possibly by WordPress?) 
   Any hack to accomplish this?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Frectangular-avatar%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
