So I was having the darndest time trying to make an authors description have paragraphs or “line breaks” on them. For some reason calling the description:

$curauth->description

Lumps everything into one big fat paragraph. After some research I found the solution, with the help from my old from wpautop.

<?php echo wpautop( $curauth->description, $br = 1 ); ?>

And that’s all there was to it! Hope this helps anyone out there searching in the ether.
