 * Hi.
 * This is my site: [http://www.piquezine.com](http://www.piquezine.com)
 * I thought I followed your directions for adding additional social networks correctly,
   but I’m getting this error:
    Missing argument 2 for add_pinterest_link() in/home/
   content/e/k/z/ekzarkhov/html/piquezine/wp-content/themes/supreme/functions.php
   on line 258
 * Following is the code I put into my functions.php. I have not yet added the pngs
   the social networks to the directory you specified. (I have added a second instance
   for website because I don’t want the default website field to link the author’s
   name to it.)

 * Also, I’m not able to get the author box to show up in the sidebar, unless I 
   put in the widget and then below that I put a text widget with the following 
   shortcode in it.

       [wp-biographia]

 * There’s a syntax error in the second call to `add_filter` in the code you’ve 
   used (this is a documentation error in the current version of the plugin; it’s
   fixed in the [plugin’s documentation](http://www.vicchi.org/codeage/wp-biographia/5-filter-support-and-usage/)
   and will be fixed in the `readme.txt` for the next version of the plugin). The
   syntax should be …
 * `add_filter($tag, $function, $priority, $accepted_args);`
 * … but your code is missing the `$priority` argument, so if you correct it to …
 * `add_filter('wp_biographia_link_items', 'add_pinterest_link', 10, 2);`
 * … it should work.
 * I’m not quite sure what you mean by
 * >  Also, I’m not able to get the author box to show up in the sidebar, unless
   > I put in the widget
 * The plugin’s widget is designed to be put into the sidebar; I don’t follow what
   you mean by the Biography Box (author box) not showing up? Is the widget showing
   in the sidebar at all, or are there sections of the Biography Box not showing
   up in the widget’s output?

 * Thanks for the prompt reply. I’ll have to check it out when I get home. Massive
   help! 🙂
 * On the second point, when I’m home I’ll investigate so I can be more specific
   in my question. It’s working, but not as it should be.

 * Hmmmm… So this is what happened:
 * Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument
   is expected to be a valid callback, ‘add_website_link’ was given in /home/content/
   e/k/z/ekzarkhov/html/piquezine/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 199

 * This is the code I inserted with your syntax change. Did I do that right? Apparently
   not. :\

 * I think the problem is that you’re using multiple versions of the filters, one
   per contact link that you want to add and that’s confusing the plugin. If you
   batch up your contact links, as below, this should work (I’ve just tested this
   on my local install and it’s working fine for me)
 *     ```
       if (!function_exists('add_custom_links') && !function_exists('display_custom_links')) {
       	add_filter('wp_biographia_contact_info', 'add_custom_links');
       	function add_custom_links($contacts) {
       	    // contacts = array (field => array (field => field-name, contactmethod => description))
       		$custom = array(
       			'pinterest' => array(
       				'field' => 'pinterest',
       				'contactmethod' => __('Pinterest')
       			),
       			'tumblr' => array(
       				'field' => 'tumblr',
       				'contactmethod' => __('Tumblr')
       			),
       			'goodreads' => array(
       				'field' => 'goodreads',
       				'contactmethod' => __('Goodreads')
       			),
       			'amazon' => array(
       				'field' => 'amazon',
       				'contactmethod' => __('Amazon')
       			)
       		);
   
       		return array_merge($contacts, $custom);
       	}
   
       	add_filter('wp_biographia_link_items', 'display_custom_links', 10, 2);
       	function display_custom_links($links, $icon_dir_url) {
       	    // links = array (field => array (link_title => title, link_text => text, link_icon => URL)
       		$custom = array(
       			'pinterest' => array(
       				'link_title' => __('Pinterest'),
       				'link_text' => __('Pinterest'),
       				'link_icon' => $icon_dir_url . 'pinterest.png'
       			),
       			'tumblr' => array(
       				'link_title' => __('Tumblr'),
       				'link_text' => __('Tumblr'),
       				'link_icon' => $icon_dir_url . 'tumblr.png'
       			),
       			'goodreads' => array(
       				'link_title' => __('Goodreads'),
       				'link_text' => __('Goodreads'),
       				'link_icon' => $icon_dir_url . 'goodreads.png'
       			),
       			'amazon' => array(
       				'link_title' => __('Amazon'),
       				'link_text' => __('Amazon'),
       				'link_icon' => $icon_dir_url . 'amazon.png'
       			)
       		);
       		return array_merge($links, $custom);
       	}
       }
       ```
   
 * Note that I haven’t included your `website` link … this is already part of the
   standard set of contact links that appear in the user’s profile (with a key of`
   web` in the `user_contactmethods` filter’s arguments) so it looks to me like 
   this is just duplicating what’s already in WordPress. If you do need a secondary
   website link, then you can just (re)add the applicable entries to both filter
   hooks.

 * That worked! And I did want to have that second instance of “website.” The standard
   website link ends up linking the author name in the post details to that external
   site, and we didn’t want that. I ended up adding a “publisher” link for the authors
   too.
 * This plugin is great! And your support has been really helpful. Thank you!
