 * Hi all,
 * I have recently come across the wp_editor function and I am having trouble getting
   it to work.
 * Here is my code to generate it:-
 *     ```
       <?php
       $settings = array('wpautop' => true, 'media_buttons' => true, 'quicktags' => true, 'textarea_rows' => '25');
       wp_editor(html_entity_decode($profileuser->description), 'description', $settings);
       ?>
       ```
   
 * This shows the box perfect in the admin area. However if i type in it and update
   the content is not saved or shown in the box.
 * How can I save the content and how can I then display the content within my theme?
 * Any help would be great. As this will solve a lot of my theme issues.
 * Thank you,
