How to use it?

Usually adding functionality to a WordPress site is by creating a plugin.
However you can simply copy the code and paste it in your child theme’s functions.php file at the end of the file, just before ?>.

For JavaScript code you will need to add them to your theme’s main JavaScript file.

      Hi Alon,
      In order to display one of the contact fields, use the following code:

      echo get_user_meta( $user->ID, 'github', true );

      Replace the `$user` with the current user object or with the current author page ID.
