Hello, Please a pre buying question. Can your plugin create a landscape page for a team member like this https://about.me/shannonsnow
Hi! Thank you for your interest in the plugin. The single pages for each team member will depend more of your theme and the templates they provide. With my plugin you can only control if you have the team member information at the bottom or on the left side of the single page, it’s not capable of controlling the content of the sidebar for example. Greetings, Carlos
Hello, I’m having problems with the Ajax pagination. When I click on page 2,3..etc, the team profile fades but there are no profiles showing up. When I inspected, there were no errors, however, the console log showed ‘clicked0’. I am using Wordpress 4.7.2 and the plugin version is 1.7.7. I have tried to deactivate all my other plugins but did not help. Could you please help? Thanks.
Hi! Thank you for using the plugin and I’m sorry for this issue. Can you write me a message via the contact form on the support tab with a link to the page where you are using the team layout? This way I can check what could be happening and we can follow up via email. Greetings, Carlos
is there a way to showcase the single page member information on a page with short code? I’m using the divi theme and i am having a hard time with the single-showcase.php setup. i also want to add items from divi modules to the page, is that possible?
Hi! You can follow this tutorial on how to enable the divi builder in custom post types: https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/divi-resources/how-to-add-the-divi-builder-to-custom-post-types-divi-nation-short
Basically, you would need to add something like this to your child-theme:
function tshowcase_et_builder_post_types( $post_types ) {
$post_types[] = 'tshowcase';
return $post_types;
}
add_filter( 'et_builder_post_types', 'tshowcase_et_builder_post_types' );
This will allow you to use the divi builder in the team single pages.
But answering your original question, you can have a shortcode to display only a single member, using the ‘IDs to display’ option and using that to display only one entry. You can use the shortcode on divi’s text modules for example.
Hope it helps. Greetings, Carlos
this worked like a charm! thanks a ton 
Is it possible when using the “Isotope Hide Filter” option to NOT show “ALL” on initial load of the page the shortcode is on? We have 49 Team Members and have them all sorted out in their own “Group”, but I cannot figure out how to not show the “ALL” tab on a page load. This makes the page way too long.
One approach could be to simulate a click when the page loads in a menu option, to set a ‘default’ open category. Try adding this to the custom js field in the settings:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#ts-CATEGORY-SLUG').click();
});
Where you need to replace the category-slug with the slug of the category you want to open by default.
Check if this works. Greetings, Carlos
That didn’t work.
Write me a message via the contact form on the support tab, with the link to the page where you’re using the layout, so I can check what could work better. Greetings, Carlos

Instead of adding #ts-CATEGORY-SLUG, I instead added:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery(’#ts-id-1771’).click(); });
And this worked. But this wasn’t the only issue we are having. The Shortcode Generator is very glitchy and doesn’t refresh the generated shortcodes appropriately.
Also, is it possible to add jQuery to specific pages and not have it universal so we can add to multiple pages and not have the same Category opened by default on all pages?
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('.page-id-17704 #ts-id-1771').click();
});
Adding the page-id-17704 says it will only simulate the click on page with the id 17704, which is the id of the one you shared with me via email. Greetings, Carlos
Awesome! Thanks again Carlos! This is hands down the best looking Employee/Team Member Showcase Plugin I’ve found so far. Now I just need to find a good plugin that’ll allow me to insert custom JS per page. 
Thank you for the positive feedback! 
Hello. I just purchased your plugin, installed and activated with no issues. But there is no link in the admin area to take me to the settings or add new members. It was uploaded and activated successfully, but I have no link in my admin navigation, or anywhere. Our WordPress, theme and all plugins are up to date, so whats up?
/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=tshowcaseto see if the plugin is working and the page exists? It could be a rare scenario where wordPress is not adding the pages to the menu correctly, or some other plugin is taking their place. Go to plugins > editor > open Team Showcase > tshowcase.php file and locate this line:
//'menu_position' => 17,Remove the initial // and save the changes. Check if it makes a difference. You can change the number to see if there’s any particular number that would work, in case 17 doesn’t work. Check if it helps. Greetings, Carlos
The edit.php?post_type=tshowcase works. Let me try changing the menu position.
Line 273 in Team Showcase > tshowcase.php
Original: //’menu_position’ => 17, Replaced With: ‘menu_position’ => 17,
Now I can see the “Team” navigation link on the left admin navigation with its corresponding sub nav links to “Add New Member”, “Groups”, “Shortcode Generator” and “Settings”.
The menu_position parameter should be optional, WordPress handles the order of the menu entries automatically. But probably there’s some other plugin manually taking the position attributed automatically to the Team menu. With this workaround we can fix this. Glad it’s working now! If anything else comes up let me know. Cheers, Carlos
Hello
I’m using the Divi 3 template. How do you change the font color from black to white on a signal page?
Hi! Thank you for using the plugin. If you share the link to your page I can check better what CSS will work. You can send the link to me via the contact form on the support tab. Greetings, Carlos
Having a bit of trouble opening the page. Not sure it’s my internet provider. But try the following:
.type-tshowcase * { font-color#FFFFFF; } It’s a generic rule that should make all the content of the single page with white font color. Greetings, Carlos
Hello, I had problems when using the plugin. It does not work for me the shortcode I generated is left as in the image …. And I can not do it keeping changes, since I need several different lists (More than 10).
http://i.imgur.com/1S3fMmI.pngI have already solved it. There are problems with the shortcode in Firefox, since everything Chrome is good
Hi! Thank you for using the plugin. It could be a simple copy/paste issue, where the characters of the shortcode were changing when being pasted in the editor. Pasting it on the ‘text mode’ of the editor usually it’s safer. But glad you managed to find a workaround with Chrome. Greetings, Carlos
Hello! We want to use your plugin in a multi-site installation which is going to have child sites for each location of the same company. Is there any way to keep ONE instance of the staff bios so that we can update them centrally instead of updating them for each site? Thank you!
Hi! Thank you for your interest in the plugin. The plugin will work on a multisite, but each site will have it’s separate team system, it’s currently not possible to have only one for all the different sites. Sorry for this limitation. If you have any other question let me know. Greetings, Carlos
Hello, nice plugin fits in my requirement perfectly! Just 1 issue can I display the groups in this format http://prntscr.com/dqlegf
I know using your plugin I can display in table format with a search option on top. But will I be able to display them in separate group tables instead of 1 huge table (all grouped into 1 table) as in image screenshot link?
I just noticed for each group there’s a new class (group name) within
Through CSS I can write category/group name on top. Was wondering if after purchasing the plugin you could help me out with separating groups in table layout?
Hi! Thank you for your interest in the plugin. You can have a layout shortcode set to display a single category, so you can have a shortcode for each of the categories and this way they will display separately. Hope it makes sense. If you have any other qustion let me know. Greetings, Carlos
I need a search on top. will that search through all categories?
I’m trying to create members directory. Members are sorted based upon different county. I get that I can display members based upon different category but while searching will it show members from other tables?
I need 1 main search bar on top, not an individual search bar for each table. I hope I’m making sense here.
You can have a unique search bar at the top. The limitation is that the search results won’t be able to display the same way, they will be merged in a single table. You can for example setup a page with a search bar on top (maybe with the county dropdown filter) and then the different tables for the different counties. If the search is used, the results can display on a single table (setup on a different page) with an extra column for the county, displaying the results across all counties or just from the county selected in the dropdown filter. This would be the possible workaround. This is because we can’t order the entries by ‘category’ and display the titles on a single layout shortcode. We could using javascript, but it would require a custom script, which is outside the scope of support. Hope the info helps! Greetings, Carlos
by unique search bar you mean, something that’s rather custom built (bootstrap HTML) with the search results linked with the URL ??
I saw on plugin demo that there’s a new URL that’s been generated with each search request. Perhaps if I attach a URL link with each county on my custom built search dropdown.. will this work?
I tried to follow your advice and create page with different county’s table and magically just 1 search bar showed up on top.. This is good!
Now as soon as I made a search request on county list dropdown, I was redirected to another page with search results BUT i saw more than 1 result.. multiple results from each table as I had built. Can you let me know a script or perhaps if I could hide through CSS the multiple search result other than the one showing on first table?
Seems you already have the plugin then. Write me a message via the contact form on the support tab with the purchase code for the plugin and I’ll give you instructions on how to display just one table with the results. Cheers, Carlos
That’s the thing I do not have purchase code. I’m a developer/designer you see. I’m unable to login from my client’s account, it keeps asking for security pin & my client is never around on time to respond with the fresh security code.
I should have purchased the plugin instead of asking her to do it. Anyways I do not mind paying $16 for the support. Can I still contact you?
With a valid purchase code I can provide the included support. Contact me via the support tab and we can follow up via email anyway. Greetings, Carlos
Hej, any chance to substitute the social icon images with font awesome icons?
Best, OhC.
Hi! Yes, fontawesome social icons are included. It’s the default on latest versions. If you have any other question let me know. Greetings, Carlos
I would love a way to auto-update this plugin. The envato plugin works OK, but not a fan of adding more plugins. Thanks.
Hi! Thank you for using the plugin. Currently the only way to update the plugin is indeed through envato’s plugin is which a lightweight plugin and works well. But for the future I might try to implement a solution integrated with the plugin. Thank you for your feedback! Greetings, Carlos
Hi,
I’m using the plugin to showcase my team – now i want to showcase partners too, so my question is: how to create another slug for partners?
Thanks,
Hi! The plugin is only able to create have one slug, since it only creates one custom post type. You can use categories to group the different entries and filter them on different pages. But the best might be to use a different plugin. I have a ‘Logos Showcase’ plugin that works in a similar way to Team Showcase, but it’s more simple, developed to display partner logos. Hope it helps. Greetings, Carlos
Hey! I really liked the plug-in, it is exactly what I’m looking for! However, I do have a question: I want the “Team home page” to be the last entrys, but I would love if I can have an index by letters.
Like, if someone wants to check all members starting with the letter A, there’s a page with only those members.
If I create a category to each letter would it be possible to have a page by each category? And would be possible to create the index page or is it something outisde of the plugin’s limits? Hope I have made myself clear!
Congrats on the plugin again!
Hi! Thank you for your interest in the plugin! The plugin doesn’t have an automated way to build a letter index, so you would need to use the categories to do this. You would create a category for each letter and then associate the team members accordingly. Then you have different ways to implement that. You can have all entries display and use a live filter to filter the letter, or you can place each category on different pages and create a menu linking to them. Another way would be to create a menu with ‘search’ links for specific categories, for example a link like
http://cmoreira.net/team-showcase/search-results/?search=&tshowcase-categories=cSo basically although the plugin doesn’t have a builtin feature to do it, with the categories you can create a workaround. If you have any other question let me know. Greetings, Carlos
Thank you for such a quick answer! It looks like I’ll be able to do this with no problems, so I’m probably buying the plugin soon! 
Just a noob question: Do you think it would be too much if I have the two ways you talked about? The letter menu would be a separate page (It has to be the “main” filter, but the live filter sounds like a good idea cause it could filter the entries not only by letters, but by others detalis. What are you thoughts about it? Thanks again!
If I understood correctly, yes, you can have both ‘systems’ in place. Cheers, Carlos
Carlos, one more question. sorry. What exactly is the “Groups might have URL if added in description” added on the last update?
Is there a live example of it?
Another doubt: On the Hover Grid with Group Filter live example, you can filter the groups by department. That’s what I want to do with the letters. Is it possible to put pagination in this case and yet, when someone click the letter A in the menu, ALL of the people with names starting with letter A show up? Or is it only going to show me the people that are in this actual page? Thank you!
I don’t have a live example, but it works like this: When you add categories, if you add a URL in the description field of that category, in the team layout, if you decide to display the categories of each entry, the categories will be linked to that URL. Take these layouts for example: http://cmoreira.net/team-showcase/circle-images-grid/ If “HR Assistant” was the category, it would link to the URL in the category description. I don’t think this feature will be totally useful for you, because I’m not sure it makes sense to display the category ‘A’ or ‘B’ together with the team entry, since it would be just for filtering purposes, but hope the explanation makes sense.
About the live filter and pagination, unfortunately it won’t work as you describe. The live filter will only apply to the entries displaying in the current page.
Greetings, Carlos
Thank you so much for the very good explanation. I really liked the live filter of your live example, so I’m thinking I may not use the pagination. This way the live filter will be good to use.
If I end up with something between 800-1000 members, do you think the page will be too heavy to be used?
What would you sugest? Use the filter and no pagination or work with some of the other two solutions you gave me before? Sorry to ask that much, just trying to figure out the best way to use the plugin on my site!
I would say 800-1000 might be to much for the live filter to handle. Mostly because loading the 1000 members at once might take time. If the numbers are that big it might be better to separate them in different pages. Or start with the live filter and maybe one day the plugin might be able to have pagination and the live filter working together across pages. It’s something I might implement in the future, but can’t say when. Cheers, Carlos
Hey Carlos! If I use the pagination and a search box above the member’s miniatures, if I search there or filter by department, as an example, it would show all members of that department or just the ones of that specific page? Thank you agian!
Hi! Sorry for the late follow up. When using the filter in the search form it will search for all members, not just the ones on the current page. So it will show all members of that ‘category’. Cheers, Carlos
I have a small problem with the categories filter. I have 2 (2015, 2016) categories with 3 subcategories (let’s call them A, B, C). Unfortunately the subcategories are not in alphabetical order. Is there a way to reorder them to my liking?
Otherwise this plugin is very useful.
Hi! Check if this technique helps: https://codecanyon.net/item/team-showcase-wordpress-plugin/4936368/faqs/22640 Greetings, Carlos
d’oh, so simple, could have thought of that myself. thank you.
Hello, I find no place for the purchase code in the „Team Settings“ or somewhere else, is there no automatically update possible with the plugin? Thank you
Hi! For automatic updates, consider using this envato tool: http://envato.github.io/wp-envato-market/ you’ll be able to setup automatic updates with that addon. Cheers, Carlos
Thank you very much, I did´t used it till now, works fine.
Hello again
So my boss decided to buy this plugin to his website and now im helping him working on it. However we have stumbled upon a small issue with the search function that we need help with. When ever we search for a name Ex. Johnny Cash it comes up in a new page with the information and a small picture of the person which is what we want. But it also shows a big picture of the person that we dont want there. Is there anyway to remove that big picture or is it stuck there for all eternity?
Hi! Please write me a message via the contact form on the support tab with a link to your page and the purchase code for the plugin. We can hide that image with css, we just need to look at the page to see what css would work. Cheers, Carlos
Hello Team,
i like your extension for the Testimonials.
We like to have the extension on our webshop Prestashop 1.6 For now, at the time we cannot find a decent testimonial module to work with. (it can be maybe also a bissines for you, if there will be a version adaptable to Prestashop)
Our question is: how can we make your extension work at our store?
We look forward to hear from you.
kind regards, alex
Hi Alex! Thank you for your interest in the plugin! Unfortunately it’s only available for WordPress and I currently don’t have plans to develop a Prestashop version, I’m sorry. Sorry for this limitation. Greetings, Carlos
Hi there, We were hoping to use this plugin to create a media blue book. Is it possible to have a public visible form that our users could fill out to voluntarily add their information to a media availability list, or can “staff” only be added through the wordpress admin panel?
Hi! Thank you for your interest in the plugin! Currently only someone with access to the backend can add entries to the team showcase. My other plugin, ‘Testimonials Showcase’ does have a frontend submission form. Maybe you could adapt it to your needs? Greetings, Carlos
Thank you for the quick turn around, I will check it out.
Also, could you supply more information on how I can create or customise the individual bio page more? Your documentation does mention the creation of the template php file, which is fine, but what code do I call to retrieve individual rows like the name, category, etc?
Also, how to increase the size of the bio pic used on the individual layout page? Its using the thumbnail in the code, I would like to specify a larger size.
Hi! For the single page template, if you want to create a custom template and fetch the content in a custom way, you’ll need to use the get_post_meta function from wordpress and these are the ids of the fields. For the image would be the same method if you want to load a custom one, you would use for example the_post_thumbnail function.
If you use of the layouts available (columns or info card) for the single page, the image that is fetched will have the size you set in the settings page. If you have any trouble with this you can contact me through the contact form on the support tab. Greetings, Carlos
Hi another question, do you support infinite scroll, or, can I setup infinite scroll if I am using “Ajax Load More” with your plugin? I am setting this up for a client and they have 50 or so people, and I dont want the page that lists them all to list all 50 in one big hit. Would be much nicer to load , say 12, and then have a load more button, or, once you scroll down, load in the next 12, etc, etc.
Hi! Thank you for using the plugin. The plugin currently does not have an ‘infinite scroll’ feature. What you can do is enable the ajax pagination would be the most similar feature. Sorry for this limitation. Greetings, Carlos
