   hi, have a nagging issue that i can't solve. looked everywhere in the forum...i've seen this question asked, but no answer yet.

   i'm using a plugin called "WPECARDS" that uses a shortcode. everything's fine, EXCEPT i cannot get text i write in the post to appear ABOVE the shortcode. no matter what i do, the text always appears BELOW the shortcode generated content.

   for example, if i write this in a post:
   intro copy, intro copy, intro copy
   [wpecards]

   it always appears like this:
   [wpecards]
   intro copy, intro copy, intro copy

   i read something about having to use "return" instead of "echo" in the plugin, but i didn't write the plugin, nor am i a programmer.

   here's the code from the plugin that i *believe* is in question.

   // Shortcode replacement
   function ft_wp_ecard_insert(){
   	global $wp_query;
   	if ( is_page() || is_single() ){
   		if ( class_exists('FT_WPECARDS') ){
   			$cards = new FT_WPECARDS();
   			if ( isset($wp_query->query_vars['ft_wpecards_view'])){
   				$cards->load_card($wp_query->query_vars['card']);
   				$cards->view_card();
   			}elseif ( (!$cards->form_submitted) || ($cards->form_submitted && is_array($cards->error_messages)) ) {
   				$cards->print_errors();
   				$cards->print_form();
   			};
   		}
   	}
   }
   add_shortcode( 'wpecards' , 'ft_wp_ecard_insert' );

   i've tried everything but to no avail. can anyone help me so that i can get text to appear ABOVE the content that the shortcode generates?

   thanks!!
