The Plugin stops the stripping of html formatting from the description (bio) field and sanitize content for allowed HTML tags for post content. Once you put this up, you can go and use all the HTML formatting allowed in posts in author?s bio. Pluginized by <a href="http://www.itsabhik.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Abhik</a>.

HTML in Author Bio

Enables the use of HTML formatting in Author Bio

Philip John

This plugin allows you to enter [author_bio] anywhere within the content of a post or page to display the biography of the author of that post or page.
The output now contains HTML, which can be customised very easily with extra parameters – see Installation for a how-to – to sit around the bio, as defined in /wp-admin/profile.php.
By default the shortcode produces the author of that post or page. However, extra parameters enable you to specify a different user whose bio you want to print out – see usage instructions.
Feature requests welcomed with open arms!

Author Bio Shortcode
