Social links

Hi there!

Glad you reached out to us about this.

There is a function we use to sanitize URLs and make sure that they are safe. The link you’re using is sanitized because of the “:” and “/” characters.

You can allow the viber link by adding a PHP code snippet like this:

function allow_viber_in_esc_attr($safe_text, $text) {
    if (strpos($text, 'viber://') === 0) {
        return $text; // Return unescaped Viber link
    }
    return $safe_text;
}
add_filter('attribute_escape', 'allow_viber_in_esc_attr', 10, 2);


function allow_viber_protocol_in_urls($good_protocol_url, $original_url, $_context) {
    if (strpos($original_url, 'viber://') === 0) {
        return $original_url; // Keep the original Viber URL
    }
    return $good_protocol_url;
}
add_filter('clean_url', 'allow_viber_protocol_in_urls', 10, 3);


function allow_viber_in_esc_url($protocols) {
    $protocols[] = 'viber';
    return $protocols;
}
add_filter('kses_allowed_protocols', 'allow_viber_in_esc_url');

Lastly, I added a feature request for it.

I hope this helps and let me know if I can assist you further.
