Public display of text in the “about yourself” text box (“Your Profile” tab)

    “About Yourself” text does not display in default Kubrick presentation (as I learned in another community member’s post). What steps must/may be taken to make it display? I’m a real newbie to WordPress and operating on a shared server hosted by 1and1 through the user interface console they provide in their Developer’s Package.

    Thanks for your kind consideration in all regards!

    No problem. Make a backup in case you screw up.
    Open sidebar.php. At the top you will see:

    <div id="sidebar"> <ul> <li> <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?> </li><div id="calendar"></div> <!-- Author information is disabled per default. Uncomment and fill in your details if you want to use it. <li><h2>Author</h2> <p>A little something about you, the author. Nothing lengthy, just an overview. ---></p> </li>

    This bit:

    <p>A little something about you, the author. Nothing lengthy, just an overview. ---></p>

    is where you want to add whatever. Remove everything between the <p> and </p> and put your tidbits in.

    Now you’ll want to remove this bit:

    <!-- Author information is disabled per default. Uncomment and fill in your details if you want to use it.

    Save it and update it.

    Thank you samboll! Assuming I can figure out how to open the sidebar php, it’s off to the races!!!

    Sincerely appreciate your help!
