Will Tessa Authorship work with my theme

For sure. Install and enjoy.

The thumbnails (avatars) are all distorted. What can I do to fix this?

To ensure that your thumbnail have a square format for example, use the build-in mechanism. Configure your preferred image size, save and use a plugin to regenerate all your thumbnails. This will assure that the WordPress instance disposes of thumbnail images with that size. If you specify your own size with an integer value via the size argument, please assure that you have defined in your media settings a corresponding image size. To achieve predictable results it’s best to use the built-in mechanism, which allows you to use squarre formats as well as landscape and portrait formats. To achieve this nice effect of full circle avatar images (with a square format) just place this instruction into your css file:

.avatar-link .avatar {
border-radius: 50%;
}

I changed the slugs in the settings. Now I get the error page not found. What can I do to fix this?

Go to the general settings page for permalinks. Set permalinks to default and save. Afterwards put your permlinks to your desired configuration and save again. This will reset all permalinks and make your new slug for existing entries available.
