So I want to add author bio to end of each post, modifying single.php

below is the code snippet

<div class="post-bodycopy cf">
<?php the_content(); ?>
<!-- patch for author bio munchy_cool -->

<!-- <?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta('email') , '80' , ' ' ); ?> -->
Written by <?php the_author_link(); ?>
<p><?php the_author_meta('description'); ?></p>
<p><a href="http://facebook.com/<?php the_author_meta('facebook_profile'); ?>" target="_blank"><img src="mysite.com/image.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Facebook" /></a>
<a href="http://twitter.com/<?php the_author_meta('twitter_profile'); ?>" target="_blank"><img src="mysite.com/image2.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Twitter" /></a><br /></p>
<!-- end of patch -->

Problem 1
<!-- <?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta('email') , '80' , ' ' ); ?> -->

is not working , display a '80 on the page

Problem 2
the facebook and twitter images do not appear is 16,16 even though that's what I set them to above, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

1) get_avatar is not in the limited php code allowed in the virtual templates
2) if you are on version 1.1.3, do you have patch 113-06 applied?

yes sir, the patch is applied ..

anything on the second problem?

What is the URL?

the website is a news website so I have not yet pushed the changes online, I am testing on my local wordpress installation, I can attach a screenshot if needed of my local test page

what plugin are you using to put the fac ebook and twitter info in the author meta?
