Click on actor get their bio and list of work

Server Version#:1.40.5.8854

I hate to run updates because I get something the way that I like it and don’t want it to change. Updates always change stuff.
Anyhoo, when I click on an actor in a movie, show or whatever I like to see a mini bio on them. Shows on plex, shows on the server, and below a list of all of their work same as when I type their name in search. I don’t want to click on them and it show me what I have on my server. It helps me discover other shows or movies they have been in. When I first started years ago I could click or type an actor and it would pop up as an example:
“Ray Winstone
Server
American movies
American Tv shows
British Movies
British Tv shows”

And then you have to click each category to see what is in it. Too much work. I want it all in one section. And I can scroll all of the information and get a bio. I have had it this way for a couple of years and I love it. Yesterday something changed and it reverted to the original way. I used to be able to go to the settings and tell it where to search. Now it only has -
Sources to search
media Libraries
Server.
While trying to figure out what is wrong with it I see my remote access disabled itself. I put different things on the server in a folder for my daughter in another state so she can watch them. So now I have to troubleshoot why remote access suddenly stopped working and I didn’t change anything My computers are always on. I don’t shut them down when I am done. I accesss plex media server I. Different rooms in my house to watch my media library.

The person bio pages are part of Plex‘s Discover features and as such depend on the availability of Plex‘s backend.
It appears something about your overall setup has changed and might prevent the Plex apps from seeing that backend.

The client logs might show what’s going on technically.
There could e.g. be trouble with your selected DNS server not resolving the web address of those backend systems.

Did you enable “Adult content” in one of the libraries’ properties?
