Here is a little hack. Open up wp-admin/user-edit.php and change:
REPLACE
include(‘admin-header.php’);
WITH
if( ($current_user->wp_capabilities[‘subscriber’] == 1) && file_exists( ‘../wp-content/themes/’.get_current_theme().’/header.php’ ) ){
include(‘../wp-content/themes/’.get_current_theme().’/header.php’);
}else{
include(‘admin-header.php’);
}
AND
REPLACE
include(‘admin-footer.php’);
WITH
if( ($current_user->wp_capabilities[‘subscriber’] == 1) && file_exists( ‘../wp-content/themes/’.get_current_theme().’/footer.php’ ) ){
include(‘../wp-content/themes/’.get_current_theme().’/footer.php’);
}else{
include(‘admin-footer.php’);
}
