< and > problems

    In WP 1.5 and previous versions, for my site since I had multiple users, I would have author pictures. I would do this by using a hook to the author profile, where I had html code used for an image, like the following code:

    <img alt=”pic” class=”userpic” src=”/wp-images/thumb.jpg” />

    This worked for the 3 authors I had listed on my site.

    However, after upgrading to WP 2.0, I now get text appearing instead of the picture. However, this only occurs for 2 of the 3 authors. I haven’t changed anything with the html, but it now appears with text. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks!

    Ok, I found that the problem is that WP is for some reason converting the < > to &lt ; and &gt ;. Does anyone know how I can prevent it from doing that?

    nevermind. I had to go into the database to fix it.

    could you share with us what you had to do in order to fix the issue ?

    I had to use phpmyadmin and go into the database. I guess WP converted the < > to the ascii codes. So I simply went into the database and found hwere the description for the author profiles were stored, and changed the ascii code to < >. That solved the problem.
