I have the same problem.

When adding <span></span>

It outputs
<p>
<span></span>
</p>

I tried this little tutorial and it did NOT work.

Thanks for the effort, I couldent find anything on this either.

I am just trying to get it so authors can upload images and other media. I am surprised this hasent been covered yet.

Well the search continued and I found this wonderful post https://www.cogniview.com/convert-pdf-to-excel/post/customize-your-wordpress-admin-interface/

Which mentions two plugins that I am currently investigating “cloak” and “flutter”. It looks like one of these should do the trick.

Hey, thanks that did the trick.

This is the tutorial from Justin Tadlock that I used to create the browse by authors page.

Alright disregard my last post. After a little research on concatenation it is clear we need to do this

<?php $user_count = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->users;”);?>
<p><?php echo “There are currently ” . $user_count . ” members”; ?></p>

A few more self teachings like that and I might be able to talk more like the second poster on this thread, and less like the poster one up.

actually I used this code:
<?php
$user_count = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->users;”);?>
<p><?php echo ‘user count is ‘ . $user_count; ?></p>

which works fine, however when you try to concatenate the word members on the end it gives an error for an undefined .

I wonder if it is possible to add a word to the end.

That does the trick. I must not have searched hard enough.

Thanks.

Unfortunately that really doesnt help me as I am not a programmer. Maybe you can break that down into lamens terms for me.

Thanks, I appreciate the help.

What do you mean by, the html cannot be validated?
Sorry I am rather new to this.

ok I got that to work, Thanks for the help.

One other small issue. CAn you show me how to fix the profile text so that it doesnt get so close to the sidebar.

I am guessing I need to make that a div but I am not sure how to do that.

Again I am new to this, so any help is greatly appreciated.
