 * Hi there,
 * I am using a multisite setup with the latest version of WordPress, latest version
   of WP Biographia, and the free [Tetris theme](http://www.wpexplorer.com/tetris-wordpress-theme/#).
 * WP Biographia is working great if I use the automatic insertion on single posts.
   However, I would like to customize the position and have it show beneath the 
   post tags. I’ve tried using the template tags as well as do_shortcode in single.
   php. In both cases, manual insertion seems to cause some sort of infinite loop
   that causes to the page to load really slowly, if at all. When it does load, 
   everything except the header and footer is displayed over and over again without
   ending, and the Biographia box does not show up at all. (I have also tried this
   with the auto insertion still turned on – same problem, but the auto-inserted
   Biographia box shows up where you would expect.)
 * Any ideas here?
 * These previous threads seem to indicate people having a similar problem, neither
   of which were actually resolved:
