Social profile icons are not displayed

This seems like a bug since they are displayed correctly on the Author box inside a single post.

Hello @mykhaylopetrov,
You have to add the author social links from Users -> Profile, please see this video – https://d.pr/v/prGlpT

@andrew828, no, this is not a bug ??

There are no errors in the server logs. In the Author box on the post page and in the author’s archive, only the site URL icon is displayed.

Tried specifying the following values:

1) fb_username
2) https://www.facebook.com/fb_username

and also a valid email.

Thank you for your hint. But unfortunately, on the user profile page, I don’t have social profile fields (only the standard fields of WordPress itself). Installed a fresh version of WordPress, no plugins. For testing, I installed the theme on the local XAMPP server. The problem repeats itself. I also tested the Child Theme.

Hey @mykhaylopetrov, do you have the Blocksy Companion plugin installed?

Everything works fine if use the update_user_meta() function.

I’ve managed to replicate your issue on a local install. It went away after a database reset using this tool — https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-reset/

Can you try that if there isn’t any important content on your website already?

andrew828, thank you for your advice. I installed the Blocksy theme right after installing a copy of the WordPress. Therefore, the database is clean. Didn’t add any content, didn’t install plugins or other themes.

Can you give it a try please? I know this might sound redundant, but it fixed the issue on my end.

andrew828, unfortunately, the problem was not solved by your method. I had to add these fields for users through the code in functions.php.
