I have it set up to retrieve cellphone number and social media accounts, such as Facebook and Twitter. As it stands now, it lists the urls, but it's not turning them into links. So I tried some of your code above, as in the case of calling the user_url, but of course changed the values. This worked, however, in the event this field is empty, it still showed the label of that field, such as Facebook:. Here's my code, but now without the <a href" stuff: <code> <?php if ($Facebook != null) { echo "Facebook: ".$Facebook.""; }; ?> <?php if ($Twitter != null) { echo "Twitter: ".$Twitter.""; }; ?> <?php if ($LinkedIn != null) { echo "LinkedIn: ".$LinkedIn.""; }; ?> </code> Would you mind showing me how to add linkable urls, yet that if empty, won't show the label? If you're too busy or whatever, it's all good, I've just been battling it for awhile now, but kinda spinning my wheels as I'm not too fluent in php. Much thanks for a great tutorial btw. Very informative. Hi Chris,

It sounds like you have it, but it might just be a CSS issue. Can you post a URL? @Petervs – When you say that the “text is off the page” – do you mean that you can still see part of it?

(I have a user and i posted on his behalf) i used a addon called list-authors-plus to have a widget on the front and i then can see a member and when i then click on him i see the fields generated by the author page (however the text is off the page, and im guessing thats got something to do with the wp-admin user-edit.php) yourself and John C talk about hacking the user-edit.php, but what do u add where to make it look like your normal theme ? thanks again for all your help I am trying to create a member site for all my users, and i have been following your tutorial closely, but i have fallen off the track somehow
