How to easily modify user contact info

Simply paste the following function into your theme functions.php file. Lines 2, 3 and 4 are for removing unnecesseray items, and lines 5, 6 and 7 add news items. That’s simple as that.

function extra_contact_info($contactmethods) {
    unset($contactmethods['aim']);
    unset($contactmethods['yim']);
    unset($contactmethods['jabber']);
    $contactmethods['facebook'] = 'Facebook';
    $contactmethods['twitter'] = 'Twitter';
    $contactmethods['linkedin'] = 'LinkedIn';

    return $contactmethods;
}
add_filter('user_contactmethods', 'extra_contact_info');

Advanced users would probably enjoy this class which allow you to manage user contact info easily.
