You can use PHP’s includes like this: include dirname(__FILE__).’/components/authorSocials.php’; but you should remember about providing the data to your component. Since the idea is that you will you use it in different places, not always the default values will be available and will be the right ones, so you should add some more code to … Read more
Yes, you have to get the url by user’s meta: <?php if ( get_the_author_meta(‘url’) ) { // Author has website url $author_url = get_the_author_meta(‘url’); } else { // Author doesn’t have website url, so get Author Posts Page $author_url = get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta(‘ID’) ); } ?> <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/273597/<?php echo $author_url; ?>” target=”_blank”>Author’s website</a>
