   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.

   i did find this code which is supposed to place the text above the shortcode, but i don't know where it goes:

   ob_start();
   
   [PHP script or function call]
   
   $result = ob_get_contents();
   ob_end_clean();
   return $result;

   can anybody help me?

   can you post the full code of your shortcode function?

   and the area where it is called in the post or page?

   (if it is longer then a few lines, please paste it into a http://wordpress.pastebin.com/ and post the link to it here)

   a link to your site might also help to illustrate the problem.
