Prior to my update to 2.1.1 I was using 1.5. I have a few different users who post under the same blog and thought it would be helpful to have a little picture in each post of the author, so there was no confusion.
What I did was, post something like:
<table border="1" bordercolor="white"><tr><td><img border="0" src="author1.jpg" title="Posted by: author1"></td></tr></table>
In their biographical information section
Then, in the "post" template, I added: <?php the_author_description(); ?>
And everything was dandy. And this worked until I upgraded (and even after I upgraded for the one user who I hadn't edited the bio info for). But now, Wordpress appears not to accept HTML in the bio info section (but it can read it, since it seemed to continue doing it for the one user).
I'm looking for a way to either edit the biographical info section to accept HTML or a new way to include an image of each author within the post itself.
Any suggestions?
