is there a way to enable shortcodes output in the profile user description?

Hi,

I’m trying to get shortcodes to work within the user description shown at the user profile header, it works in the custom author box I have installed.

Before you ask, I can’t link to it, I’m building my site on my own computer via XAMPP, so it’s on localhost, not accessible from the internet.

Anyway, if I’m not mistaken I’m refering to the section shown as um-meta-text when I inspect the area with Google chrome. I need it to output shortcodes and not display the actual shortcode, for example, I have a shortcode for age displaying, currently it shows the shortcode [age] but I need it to actually show the number of the age as it suppose to.

I assume it will require editing of php files withing the plugin folder, can someone help with that?

Thanks.
