Disjoined Birds Author Box

Again, it’s just a CSS issue.
Your theme is overriding some CSS of the plugin.

To correct this:

Open authorbox_front.css (in the ‘/wp-content/plugins/birds-author-box/public/css’ directory)

Find line 86 and type:

margin-bottom: -53px;

instead of

margin-bottom: -47px;

After line 91, add a new line and type:

margin:0 !important;

Save the file.

In the profile page, in WP admin, it’s said:

Twitter URL
URL must be complete, i.e. beginning with https:// or https://

The CSS change worked great, thanks Frederic!

However in Twitter, I don’t see the same “URL must be complete…”, instead this is what I see:

View post on imgur.com

That result (@httpstwittercom) is what I get after typing in “https://i.imgur.com/FiCeA97.png” and hitting “Update User” at the bottom of the profile page.

I think it’s a conflict with another plugin…
Can you try something?
First backup the original files to be able to reverse the process if it doesn’t work…

Open additional_fields.php (in the ‘/wp-content/plugins/birds-author-box/admin’ directory)
Line 26, change

$user_contactmethods['twitter'] = __('Twitter URL', 'birds-authorbox') . '<p class="description">' . __('URL must be complete, i.e. beginning with https:// or https://', 'birds-authorbox') . '</p>';

to

$user_contactmethods['twitter2'] = __('Twitter URL', 'birds-authorbox') . '<p class="description">' . __('URL must be complete, i.e. beginning with https:// or https://', 'birds-authorbox') . '</p>';

Save the file.

Open frontend.php (in the ‘/wp-content/plugins/birds-author-box/public’ directory)

Line 181

if (get_the_author_meta('twitter', get_query_var('author')))

add

2

right after

get_the_author_meta('twitter

, just before the single quote.

Repeat that step on line 183

$content.= '<a class="social_icon" href="' . esc_url(get_the_author_meta('twitter')) . '" target="_blank"><img src="';

Save.
Go to a profile and tell me.
If it works, I’ll publish an update.

That worked perfectly, thanks again!
