You are welcome – here is the fix for the SIDEBAR section of code –

BEFORE
=======

<!-- Twitter section starts here -->
					<div id="twitter_section">
						<div id="twitter_update_list_1985"></div>
						<div id="twitter_follow"><p><a href="<?php if(!empty($papyrus_option['main']['twitter_id'])) {echo $papyrus_option['main']['twitter_id'];} ?>"><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/twitter_follow.png" alt="Twitter" /></a></p></div>
					</div>
					<!-- Twitter section ends here -->

AFTER
=====

<!-- Twitter section starts here -->
					<div id="twitter_section">
						<div id="twitter_update_list_1985"></div>
						<div id="twitter_follow"><p><a href="https://www.twitter.com/<?php if(!empty($papyrus_option['main']['twitter_id'])) {echo $papyrus_option['main']['twitter_id'];} ?>"><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/twitter_follow.png" alt="Twitter" /></a></p></div>
					</div>
					<!-- Twitter section ends here -->

Crude, but effective. I hope the THEME developer picks this up and polishes it off – GREAT free template!

Go from <li><a href="<?php echo $papyrus_option['main']['twitter_id']; ?>" target="_blank"><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/twitter.png" alt="Twitter" /></a></li>

to

<li><a href="https://www.twitter.com/<?php echo $papyrus_option['main']['twitter_id']; ?>" target="_blank"><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/twitter.png" alt="Twitter" /></a></li>

Crude, but it works great!

That is the HEADER social networking code in the Papyrus theme – great theme – but that was one small step that was missed.

<li><a href="<?php echo $papyrus_option['main']['twitter_id']; ?>" target="_blank"><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/twitter.png" alt="Twitter" /></a></li>

is an example in the header where the template missed the target.

get_template_directory_uri()
calls the WP URL – when it should be calling twitter.com/

Yup – if you look at the code in PAPYRUS, the code for Twitter and facebook etc, pulls the WP URL and appends it to your twitter ID – which is clearly wrong – I was mucking with it but each of my attempts to fix broke the page – will fun it passed a WP guru tomorrow.
