 * Hi,
 * In my plugin I try to add a rich text field on user profile page. I followed 
   the example of the post and added following lines for profile.php.
 * `<?php wp_editor($profileuser->author_bio, 'author_bio', array('dfw' => true,'
   media_buttons' => false) ); ?>`
 * TinyMCE loaded correctly. However, once I added formatting to the content, ex,`
   <strong>test</strong>`, then save, the content in the visual editor starts to
   show html tags.
 * I suspect that the editor didn’t initialize to visual mode, but not sure how 
   to confirm it.
 * Are there any other setups I need to do to initialize TinyMCE?
 * Thanks.

 * Thanks for the links.
 * I found out the issue is caused by entity encoded `$profileuser->author_bio`.
   I added the decoding function, updated to the latest wordpress version, and everything
   works fine now.
