Parameters for get_the_author_meta()

[milana_cap]

In docs for get_the_author_meta() some parameters are deprecated (yim, jabber) and some are missing (facebook, twitter etc).

@milana_cap, Can't find googleplus, twitter, facebook in user meta.

[mukesh27]

Remove "aim" as it is also deprecated.

Replying to mukesh27:

@milana_cap, Can't find googleplus, twitter, facebook in user meta.

Ah, you're right. That was a plugin. Only url should be added then.

It's worth noting that the aim, jabber, and yim fields were removed as default user contact methods for new installations. See wp_get_user_contact_methods(). That means old sites potentially still have these fields, which makes these totally valid arguments for get_the_author_meta().

[mukesh27]

@swissspidy, Yes aim, jabber, and yim are use for backward compatibility for old WordPress installations so it is not required to remove that from get_the_author_meta() function documentation and @milana_cap said that those new fields(facebook, twitter etc) coming from plugin.

So i am going to close this ticket as it was not required any action. Feel free to open ticket again if i miss understood anything.
