the 1492 columbus fix

  • Not so much a hack as a work around…
    I wanted to add a user Phone and Fax field to my user page.

    So I dug up the user.php in wordpress/wp-incliudes folder. All the way to the edge of the world (bottom of the page) at line 1492 (the year Chris Columbus sailed) is the code snippet below (showing my work arounds).

    'aim' => __('Phone'),
'yim' => __('Fax'),
'jabber' => __('Other')
;

    The words Phone, Fax, Other show up in the CONTACT INFO area of each USER page. Just call the metadata aim, yim, or jabber as needed.

    I have been visited by a time-traveler who exposed the folly of my ways. It would seem that altering the user.php in wordpress/wp-incliudes folder may casue future errors in WP Patch Updates to the file.

    This kind-of-stuff is why messing with the “time-space-continuium” is forbidden
