TikTok in social media list

Hi @jibril84

The social media list is based on the social website URLs that Yoast SEO adds for users. TikTok is unfortunately not on the list.

We can make it check the user meta for a field named “tiktok” and if a value is found it would show a TikTok link in the list.

But you would need to handle the user meta yourself (there are plugins that allow creating custom user meta fields).

Would that work for you?

Yes, it would, thank you! I already use a plugin for custom fields ??

You’re welcome.

We’re about to release version 2 of the plugin, which comes with backend options and some new features, we’ll add TikTok in the social list as well.

The update should be released early on Monday.

Hello, I updated the plugin and noticed that the TikTok logo was already appearing in the authors list, under each author, even though I hadn’t created the custom field yet. The logos also link to the authors’ Facebook pages.
I then created the “tiktok” custom field and, even if I fill it in, the link isn’t correct, it always links to Facebook.

This is the code I use, do I need to change anything?

[authors_list after_title="{alf:social}" style="1" columns="4" show_bio="no" show_count="no" show_link="yes" orderby="display_name" order="ASC" only_authors="yes" skip_empty="yes" exclude="1"]

Hi @jibril84

You’re right, there’s a silly bug in there. Thanks for pointing it out.

There’s an update coming tomorrow, we’ll get that sorted out.

In the meantime you can hide the TikTok icon using this (goes in WP Admin > Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS):

.authors-list-item-social-tiktok { display: none; }

Thanks a lot, now everything works fine!

You’re welcome.
