Author Description with URLs Plugin?

Michael,

Thanks for the reply.

Ultimately what I’m trying to do is embed the_author_url within the_author_description.

As far as I understand it, that’s not possible at present because the_author_description doesn’t accept any parameters.

In other words what I’m hoping for is a plugin that would let you put a URL within the_author_description.

Michael,

Thanks again for the help … I thought of trying your example, but the problem is twofold:

1. it makes the entire description a link (looks weird)

2. it doesn’t allow for two separate links.

I’m editing a web publication, and what I’d love to be able to do is enter a description like this:

John Smith is the author of the novel, Smith’s Novel, and a collection of essays, Smith’s Essays.

Do you know of anything that could do that?

Thanks again for your help!

Otto,

Thanks for your help. I actually haven’t been using a theme with a function.php file, so I uploaded a function.php which consists solely of this:

<?php

remove_filter('pre_user_description', 'wp_filter_kses');

?>

Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to work though.

Do I have to insert any code somewhere else in order to call the function.php file?

Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it.

Doh. Unfortunately though that was just a typo in my post. The file in my theme is functions.php.

Thanks again for your help though.
