WP-edit visual editor in Biography Field not displaying for other users.

Hello,

I am so very sorry for my delay (mother in hospital).
I remember another recent report of someone having an issue with the profile bio editor.

I’ll check this out by the weekend; and get an update pushed out.
Thank you for taking the time to write; and bring this to my attention.

Please feel free to follow up anytime and ask about progress ??

Sorry to hear about your mother. Hope she will get well soon!

I found one more issue with this plugin, will submit another ticket now and please look into it when you can.

Absolutely, I will.
Thank you for your kind words.

And thank you (again) for taking the time to assist.
I will get to these over the weekend; and try to have an update pushed out by Sunday night.

Hey there,

Please let me know once you are done uploading.

Thanks!

Hello,
Very sorry for my delay. Many personal issues lately…

WordPress 4.4 is coming out in about a week. It will certainly be done before that time. I will try to get it done sooner; I apologize for any inconveniences.

Ok no problem! Please let me know as soon as you are done! Will be waiting for your reply.

Good luck and I hope your mother will get well soon! ??

Hello Josh,

Sorry to bother you again and again.. but since my deadline is tomorrow and this issue is still not fixed… any update? do you need more time?

Thanks

Hello,

I am working on it as I type this reply ??

Will try to have it out this afternoon.

Hey Josh,

It seems like you fixed the issue, but then my problem still persist. I have custom user role and it seems like wp-edit for biography is not working for that custom user role.

Can you help me?

Thanks

Just checking to see if the last release fixed the issue.

Hey Josh,

hmm it doesn’t seem to fix the issue. I can see the advanced editor in the profile description but when i call it using the following code to display it, i see the description in one straight line ignoring my line breaks which i tried with enter key and also with br tag.
<?php the_author_description(); ?> or get_user_meta($user_id, 'description', true);

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Okay, sorry for the redundancy… I just want to ensure I understand correctly.

In your first post; you mention:

I can see the visual editor for the User profile Biography field for the Admin but when i login as a blogger and try to edit my info, i don’t see the visual editor field.

Is this still happening; or is this working they way you envisioned?

Now, regarding:

I can see the advanced editor in the profile description but when i call it using the following code to display it, i see the description in one straight line ignoring my line breaks which i tried with enter key and also with br tag.

Try wrapping the output in the WordPress wpautop() function.

So, it may look something like this:

$myVar = wpautop(the_author_description());

Or…

$myVar = wpautop(get_user_meta($user_id, 'description', true));

Doing so should output your line breaks properly.

Thanks Josh! Fixed everything with your plugin update and use of wpautotop() to display the line breaks! Great job! ??
