Susie Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) When I go to Users > Authors & Users > and then click on my username, I am trying to fill in the Biographical Info box where it says, "Share a little biographical information to fill out your profile. This may be shown publicly." The problem is that if I try to divide my text into paragraphs, they aren't sticking. I can see in the admin that the paragraphs are there, but out on the website, it gets displayed as all one paragraph. Looking at the source code, I see that there is indeed one at the beginning and one at the end - nothing in between where I added line breaks. I've posted this question on the WP forums and received no answer. Does anyone here know if there is there a way to fix this? ETA: I forgot to mention that I've tried to physically add or tags, but they don't stick either. And there's no wysiwyg editor for this section. Hmmm...

falkencreative Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Looks like that thread should have the answer for you. Where is this bio info displaying? Seems like it is a matter of finding wherever that code is (I'm guessing something like this): echo $curauth->description); and replacing it with this: echo nl2br($curauth->description); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yep, that's it. Thanks, Ben! Sometimes something so simple can stump me for hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
