Answers.Text: This method is now deprecated. Does anyone know the current method? The documentation says "Use getPhoto().getUrl() instead." but when I try entry.author.getPhoto().getUrl() I get an error.

  That will get you the url of the current user's photo. To get an author's photo do this:
  
  ```
  {{ author.photoUrl }}
  
  ```
  
  If the author is not defined in your context but the entry is, then get the entry's author's photo as follows:
  
  ```
  {{ entry.author.photoUrl }}
  
  ```
  
  In Craft 4, the following should be used:
  
  ```
  {{ entry.author.photo.url ?? '' }}
  
  ```
