Bugfix: Biopic only shows on home page

There’s a little bug in the ProPhoto template files that you may want to take a moment to fix. Basically, your bio picture shows up on your blog’s main page, but if you scroll down to the bottom of the page and click “Older Posts”, the bio picture disappears on other pages.

Props to Petra for pointing this out to me. The fix is pretty easy. Just open up your “Theme Editor” (under “Presentation” in WP 2.3 and earlier, or under “Design” in WP 2.5) and click to edit the file called “bio.php.”

Then, look for this line/chunk:

<!-- path to filename of bio pic --> <img src="wp-content/themes/prophoto/images/biopic.jpg" width="215" height="312" id="biopic" />

And change it to:

<!-- path to filename of bio pic --> <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory') ?>/images/biopic.jpg" width="215" height="312" id="biopic" />

Save your changes and you should be good to go!
