I don't see anything obviously wrong with it.

Thanks, Bill. Yes, that's the kicker. Me either. 😄 Thanks for your help. I appreciate your time.

AH! So... this is what's not working. :)

if( isset( $headshot ) ) $headshot = '<img src="' . $headshot .'class="alignleft headshot" />';
Same with the link. It's because I'm trying to wrap it in HTML, I guess. Truth be told, I'm not sure how to fix that. The others seem to work fine because we're closing them, but this breaks down on the first double quote. Do I escape it or what should I do there, if you have a recommendation? If not, thank you anyway. :)

You're missing the closing double quote. It should be

if( isset( $headshot ) ) $headshot = '<img src="' . $headshot .'" class="alignleft headshot" />';

Oh my god, thank you. Leave it to the ol’ missing quotes. I stared at that for literally hours. Thank you so much.

That worked, thanks! Though I guess I had corrected that at some point - but maybe I don't clearly understand isset. Is that meant to be like a conditional?

I assumed it was saying "if this is not null, show this", but that's not what's happening. it's rendering the html regardless of whether or not the field is empty. Thanks again, I appreciate your help.

Isset is checking if that variable actually exists, regardless of whether it's empty or not. You probably want if( ! empty( $headshot ) )

OOOOOOOOOOOK. I was wondering about that. I was like "how does it know?" I feel silly because I write those conditionals all the time. Derp. 😄

*Hi! I'm running into a little issue on something related to this topic. I'm really in a time sensitive place and am hoping someone sees this.
