Issue with NPC portraits disappearing when continuing a conversation

Hello, I recently purchased Pixel crusher's dialogue system and am still experiencing several problems due to my inexperience. One thing I'm experiencing now is that the NPC's portrait is hidden when I'm having a conversation like the video in the attached link. What can I do to fix this?

Hi,

Inspect your conversation in the Dialogue Editor. Make sure the correct actor and conversant are assigned. They are circled in magenta below.

Also make sure your dialogue entry nodes are assigned to the correct actors. The node with the red arrow is assigned to a different NPC. If this NPC doesn't have a portrait image, the NPC panel will hide the portrait image.

Finally, check the GameObjects that are assigned to the Dialogue System Trigger's Conversation Actor and Conversation Conversant fields. More info: Character GameObject Assignments

Ah, I solved the problem by assigning a dialogue actor component to the subtitle panel. Thank you so much for your reply! :D
