User profile issue

  • Hello,

    I love wordpress.

    Since version 5.5 I have had the following issue.

    In a users profile the ‘Twitter username (without @)” pre-populates with an admins username. The issue is I am trying to keep certain admin names private. Also this puts me under the radar of GDPR laws because I appear not to be keeping certain info private.

    Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

    Thanks Tracey

    What plugin are you using to add Twitter to a user profile?

    Thank you for the reply.

    I am not using any plugin for twitter. It is the standard WP profile page for users.

    Thanks,

    Tracey

    No, it’s not. This is provided by a plugin or your theme.

    I disagree because I have not added any kind of twitter plugin to WordPress.

    On the users profile page it lists their address, what networks they are on etc. This has always been on WordPress. The page is where they can edit their own profile etc.

    Thanks Tracey

    Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.

    I did that prior to posting the post on the forums.

    Thanks,

    Interesting, that looks very different to what I see.

    Now I am totally confused.

    I see all these below.

    Contact Info

Website 	
AIM 	
Yahoo IM 	
Jabber / Google Talk 	
Facebook profile URL 	
Instagram profile URL 	
LinkedIn profile URL 	
MySpace profile URL 	
Pinterest profile URL 	
SoundCloud profile URL 	
Tumblr profile URL 	
Twitter username (without @) 	
YouTube profile URL 	
Wikipedia page about you
(if one exists)

    Could woocoomerce have introduced them?

    Thanks Tracey

    Perhaps. This is NOT from core WP. Please disable all plugins and change to the twentytwentyone theme as a test to see what’s providing these.

    I will give it another go tonight, can’t do it at the moment because its a live site and I need to select my moment to run tests.

    thanks,

    Tracey
