How To Remove User Contact Info From WordPress Profile Page

Important: All scripts hosted on widcraft.googlecode.com don't work anymore because Google has blocked that SVN repository.

After writing bunch of articles about WordPress' wp-config.php file, it's time for me to write some articles about the powerful functions.php file. And I'll start from the start. In this post, I'm sharing a very simple and useful trick for WordPressers (WordPressers :p).

Most of us never ever used three fields on the WordPress profile page and so we want to remove those fields. They are the fields for AIM, Yahoo IM, and Jabber. It's time to get rid of these fields:

Add following php code to your theme's functions.php file (from theme editor):

add_filter('user_contactmethods','hide_profile_fields',10,1);
function hide_profile_fields( $contactmethods ) {
unset($contactmethods['aim']);
unset($contactmethods['jabber']);
unset($contactmethods['yim']);
return $contactmethods;
}


That's it..!!
