    I have read through everything I can find on this plug-in, but keep having the same issue.

    I am using the twentyeleven theme; I have created a child theme, and have custom pages for content.php & content-single.php. When I apply the shortcode for WP Biographia to the custom page, the biography box will appear twice. Once in the location I have specified on the custom page w/css, and once again in the location specified via the plug-in: either above the post or below.

    I have tried using both of these shortcodes, placing them inside the div I want:
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[wp_biographia mode="configured"]'); ?>
    <?php echo do_shortcode("[wp_biographia]"); ?>

    But no matter what, I get duplicated biography boxes.

    This is not the same issue covered in the FAQs; I have already removed the lines of code on my custom page that generate the author box on the single post page. And with those lines removed, same issue.

    Is there something I am missing? Or doing wrong? I would provide a link, but right now I am working locally off an external drive. If a link is needed, let me know & I can work on uploading everything. Just wasn’t sure if there was something glaringly obvious my wary eyes have overlooked.

    Hi … this is probably a stupid question, but I have to ask. If you’re manually positioning the Biography Box via the [wp_biographia] shortcode, have you turned off the display of the Biography Box in the plugin’s settings and options?

    If this isn’t the case, then I’m scratching my head here. Looking at the page source which is exhibiting this problem would help, plus a copy of the plugin’s settings and options, which are displayed in the Colophon tab in the latest version of the plugin.

    Thank you for such a quick response! And no such thing as a stupid question; in fact, I feel like it’s got to be something small I am overlooking, given how well thought out this plug-in is.

    On the Display for the plug-in’s settings, I have unchecked all of the boxes. The only thing I cannot control is the final setting, Display Location, where it places the box above or below the original post. Am I missing another option where I can disable the display altogether?

    As info, here are the settings from the colophon:

    I will work on getting the site up on a server so I can share a link, in case it doesn’t turn out that I have just simply overlooked a setting.

    Probably should have clarified that the first time the box appears (aligned w/the box surrounding the post content) is where I want it & placed the shortcode.

    The second appearance is what I am trying to remove.

    Thread Starter simplyshang

    (@simplyshang)

    yup, this my error! i placed the shortcode on both content.php and content-single.php b/c i needed them to both have the same display. but, on content.php, i placed the shortcode outside the if statement for the post, causing it to be static instead of dynamic.

    sorry about that! hopefully you didn’t spend too much time trying to help me solve that silly mistake.
