Description
The User Social Fields plugin will allow users to add their social networking accounts to their user profile. Then, using a shortcode,
a list of the user’s social web site links will appear on the page. The user can be specified or magically set (when viewing a page or single post). Additionally,
the shortcode allows you to choose which social web sites to list and in which order.
Installation
- Upload
user-social-fieldsto the/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Place the shortcode where you want the list to appear by using
<?php do_shortcode('[userfields]'); ?>in your templates or[userfields]in your post content.
FAQ
- How do I set the user?
-
In the shortcode, add the attribute “user” with a value of either the user’s id or login (example: [userfields user=”johndoe”]).
- How do I specify the user fields?
-
To specify the user fields to display, use the attribute “fields” in the shortcode with no spaces and separate them by commas. For exmaple, [userfields fields=”facebook,gplus”] will only display Facebook and Google Plus.
- What if the user has not set their user fields in their profile settings?
-
If the shortcode requests a field that the user has not set, it will not display.
- How do I sort the user fields?
-
In the shortcode, you can specify which fields to display. In doing so, the fields will be listed in the same order you specifiy them. For example,
[userfields fields=”youtube,gplus,facebook”] will list the fields in this order: YouTube, Google Plus, Facebook. - Do I have to specify the fields to display?
-
No. If the “fields” attribute is unset, all social fields will display in alphabetical order.

-
The following fields are avialable to display (and their field strings are in parenthesis): Facebook (facebook), Flickr (flickr), Google+ (gplus), Instagram (instagram), LinkedIn (linkedin),
