 * Hi, user profile includes too many fields (AIM, Yahoo AIM, Jabber / Google Talk,
   etc.)
 * How can I disable or hide them?
 * Thanks!

       function filter_user_contact_methods( $methods ) {
           // To remove a method
           unset( $methods['aim'] );
   
           // To add a method
           $methods['twitter'] = 'Twitter';
   
           // To remove them all
           $methods = array();
   
           return $methods;
       }
       add_filter( 'user_contactmethods', 'filter_user_contact_methods' );

 * Either in your theme’s `functions.php` file or create `wp-content/plugins/theme-
   my-login-custom.php` (if it doesn’t already exist) and put it there.
