Author image does not render in profile homepage or author footer info about congo HOT 5 CLOSED

can you share the relevant config entries, and show the directory path you have the images stored in?

Below is the languages.en.toml file. The assets folder is in the root of my hugo folder, i.e: "siteFolder/assets". But, this also fails with the out of the box img/author.jpg from the theme/examplesite setting. No errors come up when starting the hugo server. I'd assume if the image path was wrong, it would bomb out with a missing file error or something.

languageCode = "en"
languageName = "English"
languageDirection = "ltr"
weight = 1

title = "Hugo Test"
copyright = "© 2024"

[params]
  dateFormat = "2 January 2006"

  mainSections = ["pages"]
  description = "A powerful, lightweight theme for Hugo built with Tailwind CSS."

[params.author]
  name = "Author"
  image = "assets/author.jpg"
  headline = "Some Headline"
  bio = "This is an example author bio, and although there's a stock photo of a dog here, this article was actually created by a human. :dog:"
  links = [
    { x-twitter = "https://twitter.com/" },
   # { facebook = "https://facebook.com/" },
   # { linkedin = "https://linkedin.com/" },
   # { youtube = "https://youtube.com/" },
  ]```

OK. I figured this out. The documentation wasn't super clear, but the default is that the theme already assumes that "assets" is the root directory for the photo. So, pointing just to "author.jpg" worked.

Going to go ahead and close this

Sweet!
The assets folder is a hugo thing.

here's a couple links to the hugo discourse forum discussing assets / static dirs:
