AnneThank you for finding that old post. Yes it appears to be the same issue from the past where the template was modified.
it appears the categories were added manually as an unordered list to the bio field.
Yes I believe you’re probably right. The owner of the site insisted that the plugin customization automatically added the unordered lists to the bio simply by clicking on the categories… but your points and all other evidence points to the contrary. I agree with you but want to cover all my bases for what might be creating that section.
The last place that I want to check is whatever php or shortcode prints the bio or what file controls the contents of the bio. I have spent hours looking through cMap plugin php and the general plugin and still can’t find anything referencing the bio section. This is the only place I can think the old developer would have customized to produce content that appears to be manually added in the bio section.
Thank you again for all of your help!
