You shouldn’t need code for that. At least we didn’t.
In the Avatar Settings page, at the top there are 3 checkmarks. The second one: “Allow Contributors & Subscribers to upload avatars” must be checked. Then you can upload avatars for the Authors too. It took us a bit to figure that out for our Authors as well, but by checking that, it should get you what you’re looking for.
We were able to get rid of the Gravatar stuff on our site by going to the settings in Avatar and the 3rd checkbox at the top of the settings page says “Disable Gravatar and use only local avatars”
That removed it for us. Perhaps that will do the same for you?
We found a fix for this in the configurations. There is a setting: “Allow Contributors & Subscribers to upload avatars.” The checkbox for it had been un-checked.
Our site theme has “Authors” as a user type. Whoever made the change didn’t realize that setting would have an effect on Author profiles since only Contributors and Subscribers were mentioned. Re-checking the option box fixed our issue.
For whatever it’s worth, re-wording that setting to simply say “Allow users to upload avatars” would be more inclusive for all themes and more concise in meaning for the end-user.

Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Starbox - the Author Box for Humans] Author Box Not Showing Up At AllI have the same issue. Nothing comes up. No idea what to try. I’ve checked and re-checked things. I’ve cleared the cache as well.
I inserted the [starbox] shortcode and it just appears as text. It’s not recognized as shortcode. But the plugin is installed and the preview works within the settings.
