Ah wait, we found the instagram camp in the profile now! It just isn’t showing in the author box 🙁 Tried both using just the username and the full link (http://instagram.com/username)

SORRY again, thanks so much. The .php file wasn’t saving but now it works perfectly! <3 You guys are the best.

I’m so sorry to have to bug you guys again with this!

1. It was just pointed out to me that although it shows the instagram link, the facebook icon is used 🙁 (attached photo)
2. By any chance can we also add LinkedIn? On top of this code in the functions.php:

// Register User Contact Methods
function custom_user_contact_methods( $user_contact_method ) {

	$user_contact_method['linkedin'] = __( '', 'text_domain' );

	return $user_contact_method;

}
add_filter( 'user_contactmethods', 'custom_user_contact_methods' );

What would we need to add to have the LinkedIn URL (and proper icon) show in the Author Box?

Hi there,

Please update your code to this,

function x_shortcode_author_v2( $atts ) {
  extract( shortcode_atts( array(
    'id'        => '',
    'class'     => '',
    'style'     => '',
    'title'     => '',
    'author_id' => ''
  ), $atts, 'x_author' ) );

  $id        = ( $id        != '' ) ? 'id="' . esc_attr( $id ) . '"' : '';
  $class     = ( $class     != '' ) ? 'x-author-box cf ' . esc_attr( $class ) : 'x-author-box cf';
  $style     = ( $style     != '' ) ? 'style="' . $style . '"' : '';
  $title     = ( $title     != '' ) ? $title : __( 'About the Author', csl18n() );
  $author_id = ( $author_id != '' ) ? $author_id : get_the_author_meta( 'ID' );

  $description  = get_the_author_meta( 'description', $author_id );
  $display_name = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $author_id );
  $facebook     = get_the_author_meta( 'facebook', $author_id );
  $twitter      = get_the_author_meta( 'twitter', $author_id );
  $googleplus   = get_the_author_meta( 'googleplus', $author_id );
  $instagram    = get_the_author_meta( 'instagram', $author_id );
  $linkedin     = get_the_author_meta( 'linkedin', $author_id );
  $author_url   = get_author_posts_url( $author_id );

  $facebook_output   = ( $facebook )   ? "<a href=\"{$facebook}\" class=\"x-author-social\" title=\"Visit the Facebook Profile for {$display_name}\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"x-icon-facebook-square\" data-x-icon=\"\"></i> Facebook</a>" : '';
  $twitter_output    = ( $twitter )    ? "<a href=\"{$twitter}\" class=\"x-author-social\" title=\"Visit the Twitter Profile for {$display_name}\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"x-icon-twitter-square\" data-x-icon=\"\"></i> Twitter</a>" : '';

  $linkedin_output   = ( $linkedin )   ? "<a href=\"{$linkedin}\" class=\"x-author-social\" title=\"Visit the Instagram Profile for {$display_name}\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"x-icon-linkedin-square\" data-x-icon=\"\"></i> LinkedIn</a>" : '';

  $output = "<div {$id} class=\"{$class}\" {$style}>"
            . "<h6 class=\"h-about-the-author\">{$title}</h6>"
            . get_avatar( $author_id, 180 )
            . '<div class="x-author-info">'
              . "<h4 class=\"h-author mtn\"><a href=\"{$author_url}\">{$display_name}</a></h4>"
                . $facebook_output
                . $twitter_output
                . $googleplus_output
                . $instagram_output
                . $linkedin_output
              . "<p class=\"p-author mbn\">{$description}</p>"
            . '</div>'
          . '</div>';

  return $output;
}

function change_author_shortcode_to_v2() {
  remove_shortcode( 'x_author' );
  remove_shortcode( 'author' );
  add_shortcode( 'x_author', 'x_shortcode_author_v2' );
  add_shortcode( 'author', 'x_shortcode_author_v2' );
}
add_action('init', 'change_author_shortcode_to_v2');

function add_profile_instagram ( $profile_fields ) {

  $profile_fields['instagram'] = 'Instagram Profile';
  $profile_fields['linkedin'] = 'LinkedIn Profile';

  return $profile_fields;
}

add_filter('user_contactmethods', 'add_profile_instagram');

Hope this helps.
