Anyone? I don’t think that this is a bug, but it would be nice if one could include images in the bio field for users. I remember years ago when a response on this board took 5 mins.
And I rememeber that it has been posted N+1 times: you cannot use html tags in the user profile. Period. That’s how it was done by the devs.
There is a slight chance that somebody figured out a solution and, eventually, posted it to the forum – but you will have to search for it.

Thanks for the reply. However, you can put in “a” tags and italics, so there must be an explicit setting for images. I will check the core files for the line of code.

I believe that this can be modified by messing with the global variable $allowedtags in kses.php. Any help with this so that I don’t have to mess with core files? I can’t find a plugin that does it (yes, I searched!)

Solution (though ugly):
– download http://www.cimatti.it/blog/2007/02/12/cimy-user-extra-fields-for-wordpress-21/
– add an extra field called “FULLBIO”
– turn on the get_cimy function
– add the following in your template:
if(is_single()) { echo "<hr>"; echo get_cimyFieldValue(get_the_author_ID(), 'FULLBIO'); echo "<br /><br />";}
