Viewing a Post-Doc profile

Below is an example of an existing profile within the WordPress editor. Profiles are represented as a WSYIWIG (what you see is what you get) editor, providing a close to live view of how it will be represented on the published website. Content in most areas of a profile can be edited directly as you would any other content within the WordPress editor.

Profile Bio Area

Within the profile bio area there are several predefined accordions available to populate. The name and order of these are unavailable for editing. Items that do not include content will not be displayed on the live website, so no need to worry about empty fields. Several of the fields available pull content dynamically into them based on associations made within other areas of the WordPress site and require no editing.

About

The topmost item in the profile listing is meant to contain the overall "about" or bio information of the current profile. This text can be edited in free-form and allows for several formatting options.
