Remove Google+ from profile settings

[tibor]

I noticed Genesis is adding a Google+ profile field to the profile page, but is there a hook available to remove it?

Thanks in advance.

Here's the function you need to remove

function genesis_user_contactmethods( $contactmethods ) {

	$contactmethods['googleplus'] = __( 'Google+', 'genesis' );

	return $contactmethods;
	
}

Yep, I know 🙂 Question is how to do this in a Child Theme... I tried:

remove_action('user_contactmethods', 'genesis_user_contactmethods');

But that doesn't work.

I have a client who would be very happy if there is an answer for this...anyone?

Found it:


/** Remove Google+ field from profile */
remove_filter( 'user_contactmethods', 'genesis_user_contactmethods' );

Thanks for that.

You could also use:

remove_action( 'user_contactmethods', 'genesis_user_contactmethods' );

Indeed...weird thing is I did try that before, but it didn't work then.. Must have made a typo or something.
