Setup:
Drupal 9 with Claro admin theme and Olivero default theme.
Scenario:
When I navigate to admin>appearance>settings>global settings, under the first section "page element display", the first two options ("user pictures in posts" and "user pictures in comments") are both selected but greyed out and unable to change. The second two options below are both selected as well but aren't greyed out, and I'm able to freely switch between enabled and disabled. When I switch from global settings to Claro's settings, "page element display" is identical. However, when I switch to Olivero's settings, only "user pictures in comments" is enabled out of the four options. And again, the first two user picture settings are greyed out and unable to change, but the second two options are able to freely.
Question:
How can I get "user pictures in posts" to not be grey/ disabled, so that I can enable this? I need my site to have profile/account pictures, which should display by the user's posts/ user's content (and their account if possible).
What I've tried:
- I've searched for modules (I did find a couple that might work but they were both unsecure, not maintained, and didn't even have the "composer require (...)" link with additional info typically found at the bottom of modules)
- Searched on Drupal answers (and google, reddit, quora) for a solution but no one else seems to be having this problem?
- Testing that "user pictures in comments" would work at least, and they do which tells me that being able to select "user pictures in posts" should work for me as well if I were able to select it
- "routine" troubleshooting- checked logs (nothing), cleared caches, updated composer, ran cron, updated db, as well as installing completely new and standard Drupal 9 with no added themes or modules (with same problem), so if this can't be reproduced or if no one else has the same issue, I have no idea what I'm doing differently or is unique about my installation. (Am running Drupal on Cloudways hosting, and did a regular installation as a test on there with same server and setup, as well as a test installation on my local environment using docker/ ddev. All 3 have this issue)
(I would really like to keep using the Olivero theme and not have to switch themes in order to get user account pictures. All help is greatly appreciated)
