Allow for Post Author Avatar to be resizable

[jasontucker]

On the Post Author Block it would be nice to have the ability to change the size of the avatar image.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Do you mean you want to set any width as well as the three size variations as shown below?

While editing in Full Site Editor and editing the Post Author block on my author archive page I see only these settings:

I don't see any way to edit the avatar size just to specify if i want to display it or the bio.

Thank you for the information.

I think this is a bug. If this block is in the query context, the avatar and size controls will display correctly:

However, when inserted into a single template, for example, the avatar and size control will not be visible:

On the front end, the avatar is displayed correctly:

I think that when this block is added outside of the query context, the placeholder avatar image should be displayed, as suggested in #35693, and the controls should also be displayed.

Hi,
This issue has gone 180 days without any activity. This means it is time for a check-in to make sure it is still relevant. If you are still experiencing this issue with the latest versions, you can help the project by responding to confirm the problem and by providing any updated reproduction steps.
Thanks for helping out.

Update: I forgot that instead of the Post Author block, the Avatar block is available. With the Avatar block, the avatar placeholder is displayed outside of the query context. And unlike the Post Author block, there is no limit to size variations.

Also, the Post Author block is proposed to be deprecated in #53427. If it is officially deprecated, there will be no need to address this issue and this issue can be closed.
