Hi,

I've created the header layout with the header element on this page. I need to bring the link of the author's Facebook profile on the header dynamically that is provided on the bio. How can I achieve that?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Hi David,

I've added the link from WordPress Dashboard > User > Profile. Please check the attached like.

Thanks!

Thats not a default user field in WordPress so another plugin or custom function must be adding it. If its a plugin, you will need to ask its developer how to GET that Meta/Custom Field. Then we can assist with adding it to your site.

I thought it was a default WordPress functionality!

Is there any way around it without using a plugin? Can I associate the url in any way with a user and call it from the header element?

Thanks!

No - that's definitely something in the plugin territory.
