    Hi all,

    After *much* investigation, I’ve given up on there being a plug-in to do this — so I’m asking hat-in-hand whether anyone has a hack to get rid of the default user profile fields.

    Specifically, I would like to get rid of all the personally identifiable information on the profile page — the bio, last name, etc., — as my site is an educational/game site for kids that I’d like to have users log on to for the games and contests, but not reveal any personal information for security reasons.

    Thanks!

    One user should not be able to see another user’s information anyway, except for administrators of course. I’m not sure what the problem is.

    The default user information form is hardcoded into wp-admin/user-edit.php so, no, you can’t really do anything with it directly.

    For WP 2.9.1, you can add the following PHP code to your “functions.php” file in your active theme directory:

    function add_twitter_contactmethod( $contactmethods ) {
  unset($contactmethods['aim']);
  unset($contactmethods['jabber']);
  unset($contactmethods['yim']);
  return $contactmethods;
}
add_filter('user_contactmethods','add_twitter_contactmethod',10,1);

    Works like a charm… and actually removes the fields in a clean and neat way.

    Hope that helps? 😉
