Answers.Text: Thank you. I do not have that extension installed. I have enabled the Demographics section and I now see these fields - but to my dismay they are blank! The sign-up profile specifically has "Person: date of birth" and it's mandatory (gender, too), so I don't see how the data can be missing here.

Body: <p>How can I see a contact's date of birth?</p>
  <p>I know it's entered because it's a mandatory field in the event sign-up form, but when I view the contact, I just see very limited data. How do I see ALL the contact's fields? This is using WP+CiviCrm (newest version 5.68.0).</p>

  Your screenshot is a customized layout rather than the standard one.
  The standard layout would show birth date, but one of 2 customizations on your site is hiding it:
  
  1. You might be using the [Contact Layout Editor](https://civicrm.org/extensions/contact-layout-editor) extension. If so, you should edit the layout to include the "Demographics" section.
  2. You might have disabled the panes in your Display Preferences. To fix it, go to **Administer -> Customize Data & Screens -> Display Preferences** in the menubar and ensure "Demographics" is enabled
