Yep, that's it. Thanks, Ben!

Sometimes something so simple can stump me for hours.

Looks like that thread should have the answer for you. Where is this bio info displaying? Seems like it is a matter of finding wherever that code is (I'm guessing something like this):

echo $curauth->description);

and replacing it with this:

echo nl2br($curauth->description);

I found this thread, but I'm not sure what to do with the info.

Wordpress: No paragraphs or line breaks showing in Biographical Info

dummy@example.com (Susie) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 16:16:48 +0000

When I go to Users > Authors & Users > and then click on my username, I am trying to fill in the Biographical Info box where it says, "Share a little biographical information to fill out your profile. This may be shown publicly."

The problem is that if I try to divide my text into paragraphs, they aren't sticking. I can see in the admin that the paragraphs are there, but out on the website, it gets displayed as all one paragraph. Looking at the source code, I see that there is indeed one

at the beginning and one

at the end - nothing in between where I added line breaks.

I've posted this question on the WP forums and received no answer. Does anyone here know if there is there a way to fix this?

ETA: I forgot to mention that I've tried to physically add

or
tags, but they don't stick either. And there's no wysiwyg editor for this section. Hmmm...
