    Hi Jeff,

    Can you please provide us with FTP details in private reply? I am not able to regenerate the issue as it works fine on my test site.

    Regards,

    Will cPanel work? I don’t have ftp info readily available.

    Hi Jeff,

    The text is cutting due to the bio field character limit in the database uwp_usermeta table. The column has characters limit of 255 characters. I have changed the field type to text so that it can store more characters than 255 based on your requirements. If you want to revert the changes then just change back the column ‘uwp_account_bio’ type to VARCHAR and length to 255.

    Let me know if this resolves your issue or not.

    Regards,
    Patrik

    Thanks, here’s the listing that I noticed the issue on referenced in the beginning of this thread. You’ll see the bio is still doing this: https://veganlinked.com/profile/adriennewilliams/bio/

    Hi Jeff,

    I am not sure why this is happening but I have created a new account on your site and added my bio with dummy text and it is displaying without a cut in the bio tab here https://veganlinked.com/profile/patrikpetal/bio/. Can you please let me know the steps to regenerate it? Is it happening on adding a bio on the registration form or account form?

    Regards,
    Patrik

    I didn’t create the profile so I have no idea how this happened.

    I just logged in and removed the bio from the admin and it’s still showing the bio cut short from the front end.

    I also just noticed that while there is a link to the event this user create from their profile to the event there is not a link to their profile from the event. I can’t tell what’s going on, this has me deeply worried about the site’s overall integrity 🙁

    Here is another one: https://veganlinked.com/profile/edmundocarandi/bio/ but this listing looks fake because the content in the bio is completely not relevant. It is nonetheless cut off.
