Linking to Skype Profile

  • Hi, how are you?

    I’m trying to link to my client’s Skype profile, and absolutely nothing is working. This is what I’m using right now: skype:carinesanjuancoaching?userinfo. I’ve also tried the action for “call”, etc.

    I read something about possibly needing to edit something to allow for these type of actions to work? Does anyone have any solutions for this?

    Thanks so much!

  • Hi @blueivorycreative,

    I have a few questions to better understand what you are trying to achieve:

    1. Where are you trying to link your clients Skype profile and what is the end goal here?

    2. Are you using actions and filters? Is that what you are referring to?

    I just did a quick search and without knowing much about what your exact use case is I would just like you to take a quick peek at this plugin to see if it makes your task any easier.

    Hello,

    It might be that the URL is being escaped using esc_url()/esc_url_raw(). You can try adding this to your theme’s functions.php to add “skype:xxx” to the valid protocols.

    function wporg_extend_allowed_protocols( $protocols ) {
    $protocols[] = 'skype';

    return $protocols;
}
add_filter( 'kses_allowed_protocols' , 'wporg_extend_allowed_protocols' );

    Hope that helps.
