After update to 1.60 the avatars in the recent posts widget are not round anymore (but oval) resulting in ugly pictures. See https://excellent-team.nl/boards/
I tried to switch avatars off in the widget by disabling them in the widget config but the still show.
Hi @Robert
That was my first thought, however clearing caches did not solve the oval avatars in the recent post widget. I found it has to do with the zoom level of the browser (both Edge and Chrome). The lower the zoom (eg 90%) the more stretched the avatar. Please check.
Try this CSS code. Put it in Additional CSS code textarea of theme settings. Refresh page before checking:
.wpforo-widget-wrap .wpforo-widget-content .wpforo-list-item-left img {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
UPDATE: the issues with the oval avatars in the recent post update is not related to 1.6 version of wpForo, I checked my other site (which is not updated yet) and found the same issue. This was probably the reason I decided to not show the avatar in the recent post widget. However, since version 1.60, I am not able to change the setting to not display the avatar. If I change the setting and save the page the setting is reverted back the next time I edit the page. Is this a wpForo issue or my page editor (Elementor Pro)?
I noticed the answer after I wrote the update. The CSS code is working fine...thanks.
Still I want to understand why I am not able to disable the avatars in the recent post widget.
The disabling avatar option has a bug. It's already reported by VereK here: https://wpforo.com/community/wpforo-announcements/wpforo-1-6-0-is-released/#post-24036
