Can you auto assign members to a team or designate them? I want to use wp all import with this plugin and automatically put new members into one team. I just want one staff page that auto updates when I import new data

Hi! If I understood correctly your question, yes, this is possible. If you only need to have one team page, then you won’t need to use groups to separate the different members. This way, when you import new entries, they will automatically display in the team page yes. The team entries are stored as a custom post type, so it should be easy to import new entries with an import plugin. If you have any other question let me know. Greetings, Carlos

Hi! we found out that one of your media query is never closed and it was causing an error when generating critical css :

https://www.itc.edu/wp-content/plugins/team-showcase/css/table-odd-colored.css

can you fix this?

Great catch. Thank you for reporting this. Will update the plugin soon. If you want the fixed version straight away, write me using the ‘contact author’ option in the support tab and I’ll send you the updated version. Greetings, Carlos

is there a way to reorder the information under the name and photo?

Hi! Thank you for using the plugin. Currently there isn’t a way to reorder the information from within the plugin options. In future versions I’m going to implement something to help with this, probably it will follow the order of how they are added in the shortcode parameter. But until that option is available, there’s a simple code snippet you can apply. Write me using the ‘contact author’ in the support tab with more details on how you want to order the information and I can provide more instructions. Greetings, Carlos

Can I add a custom link so when someone clicks a headshot it goes to a custom link rather than their profile?

Hi! Yes, this is possible. There a field to add a URL to the profile and you can set that URL to open when you click an entry, instead of opening the default single page. Greetings, Carlos

Hello—Pre Sales? Can members login and create/edit their own profile?

Is there a way to prevent users from being able to create unlimited users? They should only be able to edit their own info, not add other users or have access to other users info. Please advise. Thx

The option to add/edit team members will not be in the profile, they will be in a separate menu entry. You should see the ‘Team’ menu entry. The entries work as posts. If a user has enough capabilities to create posts, they will be able to create team entries. User roles that have access to other users posts will also be able to edit team member entries form other users. Usually the ‘Author’ role can create and edit only the entries they created for example. The dynamic will depend on the capabilities like I mentioned initially. There are ways to limit the users to only be able to create one entry. Write me using the ‘contact author’ option in the support tab and we can follow up via email. Like I mentioned initially, the plugin is not a user/profile management system, it has limitations, but there are workarounds and things that can be improved. Greetings, Carlos

Hi! Your questions prompted me to develop some small additional features to make this process a bit easier. If you want to try the new version with these new small features send me a message using the ‘contact author’ option in the support tab and I’ll send you this new version. I added an option to only allow users with lower capabilities to only add and edit one entry associated with them. Greetings, Carlos

Hi, I was wondering why I can’t find “Round Icons” from the dropdown list on the settings page?

Apologies, the comment seems to have been posted twice.

Hi! Earlier versions of the plugin had the social icons as images and there was the option to have them squared or rounded indeed. However to make the icons work better across all devices, including retina screens, in recent versions I left only the vector icons option, which use the fontawesome icon set with the rounded corners squared icons. Hopefully in future versions I’ll include an option for vector round icons. In the current version, if you want to force the round icons, we can do it with some custom css. Write me using the ‘contact author’ option in the support tab and we can follow up via email. Greetings, Carlos

Hi, I was wondering why I can’t find “Round Icons” from the dropdown list on the settings page?

Apologies, the comment seems to have been posted twice.

Hi! No problem. I answered to the question in the other comment. Greetings, Carlos

Hello, Is it possible to use a different image for the custom post image and the thumbnail? (found this by googling: http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-add-multiple-post-thumbnails-featured-images-in-wordpress/) Also, it seems the image is used twice in the custom post. Thanks.

“Also, it seems the image is used twice in the custom post.” Never mind this I found the option. I have an additional question: Is it possible for the Groups to be displayed under each other? So that, not all team members are listed next to each other even though they are in different groups. So group A would be at the top of the page then team members in group B would be under them. Then group C would be under group B. etc…

Hi! Thank you for using the plugin! The plugin is not ready have have multiple featured images and there isn’t an easy way to implement it. You can write me using the contact author form on the support tab explaining better your needs and I can check if there’s a workaround. As for the groups, one simple solution could be to have one shortcode for each group and stack the shortcodes, maybe even with a title for each group. This way you would have more control. Hope the info helps. Greetings, Carlos

Hello. I’m on V 1.6.2. I have a place to enter the link to the vcard, but I can’t get it to show up on the profile or the team showcase page. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi! Make sure you have the option to display the personal url activated in the shortcode generator and settings page. If the problem persists, write me using the ‘contact author’ option in the support tab, sharing the url to your page and purchase code for the plugin. Greetings, Carlos

hello in new versions is it possible for members to register and the administrator authorize them?

thank you marcello

Hi Marcello! The plugin doesn’t have a frontend member register option, sorry. Greetings, Carlos

Hi, what is causing the staff image on the staff page to load really big and then get reduced in size. For example, viewing the page source code, I show there is an image being loaded that is sized with width=1080px:

Take a look at this screencast video to see the issue which is happening on all staff: https://www.screencast.com/t/ed9wkLv9

And here is an example staff page: http://itc.bezahosts.com/directory/dr-lisa-allen/

The bigger image is the featured image added automatically by your theme in the single pages. It’s being hidden with css, that load in the footer, so that’s why the image is seen for a split second. In the plugin settings you can try changing the ‘page template’ from post to page, which might remove the featured image from the top, depending on your theme settings. I see you’re using Divi, which has the option to remove the image from the single pages in the settings. If you go to ‘Options > Layout’ you can also disable the image from there. Hope it helps. Greetings, Carlos

thank you that fixed our issue!

Hi, how do we customize this auto generated page: http://itc.bezahosts.com/directory/ and http://itc.bezahosts.com/directory/page/2/ ? We thought about doing a 301 redirect from http://itc.bezahosts.com/directory/ to http://itc.bezahosts.com/about/directory/ but then realized that users pages (ie http://itc.bezahosts.com/directory/the-reverend-dr-b-leslie-robinson/ ) all reside under the /directory/ url so the 301 redirect option won’t work as that would cause a 301 redirect loop.

Any suggestions on how to fix the /directory/ page without impacting how we display our blog posts?

Hi! Thank you for using the plugin. In the settings page of the plugin there’s an option to set a custom archive page. The plugin will handle the redirect without affecting the single pages. Check if it works as expected. Greetings, Carlos

Thank you Carlos! That did it. Much appreciate your prompt reply and help as always!

Hi Carlos, how do we add image alt tags for all of the photos being generated by the plugin. Checkout w3c validator errors: https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fitc.bezahosts.com%2Facademics%2Ffaculty-academic-staff%2F

Hi! When you setup the featured image for each member entry, in the window where you choose the image, there’s a field for the ‘Alt Text’. If you add content there, the plugin should use it as the alt tag. Greetings, Carlos

It seems the staff pages generated don’t have a Canonical URL.Is there an option to activate this or add this? The wordpress pages & posts have canonical but not the pages generated by this plugin. Ex:

<link rel=”canonical” href=”http://www.site.com/directory/john-doe/” />

Hi! Thank you for using the plugin. This would be a feature for the theme, but I think most SEO plugins will also handle this. You can check if changing the ‘page template’ in the plugin settings would make a difference. The plugin will check for the available templates of the current theme and try to load the team member content using that theme template. It could be that some templates have the canonical others have not. I could include code on my plugin to add the canonical URL, but since most themes already do this, it shouldn’t be necessary. If you have a SEO plugin you can also check the settings. Hope it helps. Greetings, Carlos

Hi Carlos, thank you for the reply! We do use All In One SEO and found where we can add canonical url.

Do you support RTL?

Hi! Some users are using the plugin on RTL layouts successfully. So the plugin will work on RTL yes. Greetings, Carlos

Hi,

Just bought the plugin. I have 2 questions:

1. On a Team Member’s personal page, is there a way to remove author box? Right now, every team members page has my admin author box below, which looks weird.

2. Is there a way to remove that small arrow next to Job Title section under the team member’s photo?

Thanks!

RE: #2 – found it. So just curious about the 1st question, and also if it’s possible to remove Italics on the “Job Title” text. Thank you!

Another thing: I can’t seem to display team members by ID. I’ve assigned IDs to each member (Post Attributes > Order), and chose to Display by ID, but they do not display in order 1, 2, 3. They’re displayed randomly still.

How do I display these people in specific order? Thanks!

Hi! Thank you for using the plugin!

1) In the settings page of the plugin you’ll find an option to choose the ‘Page Template’. Select the ‘Page’ template to see if the author box disappears. By default the ‘post’ template is chosen, which is why the author box most likely displays.

2) To remove the italics, you’ll need to use custom css:
.tshowcase-single-position { font-style: normal !important; }
You can add this in the custom css field in the settings.

3) The option to order by ID will order the entries by database ID – which is basically the order in which the entries are created. To have a custom order, set the order field (or use drag&drop when viewing all the entries) and select the option order by ‘Default (Order Field)’.

Hope the info helps. Greetings, Carlos

My client is using your Team Showcase plugin and we need for it to have the ability for the users to be able to submit their data from a front end form and have it populate their Team profile.

Will this add on plugin “Front End Posting” to the “Super Forms” plugin allow people to submit profile data using the form.

Super Forms Main Plugin https://codecanyon.net/item/super-forms-drag-drop-form-builder/13979866?s_rank=9

Add on Front End Posting plugin – https://codecanyon.net/item/super-forms-frontend-posting/17092502?s_rank=8

I know there is a way to do it with Gravity forms….but if I can use this one that would be great.

If this plugin will do it, instructions or a link to instructions would be great!

Thank you in advance.

Do the ID fields get added to the Team Plug In or the form plugin?

The fields with those IDs already exist in the team entries. When you build your form, you’ll probably need to map your form fields to the existing fields on the team showcase entries. You’ll need to use those IDs when building your form. Greetings, Carlos

Hi, do you know why this page is not showing the pagination?

Screen Shot : http://itc.bezahosts.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Pagination.jpg

Page : http://itc.bezahosts.com/about/directory/

Short Code : [show-team pagination=’true’ category=’faculty,staff’ url=’active’ layout=’table’ style=’img-square,text-left,odd-colored’ display=’name,photo,groups,position,email,telephone’]

You can use the ‘email’ field in the ‘social networks’ section (it’s the last field). This will add the email link as an icon instead of text. Greetings, Carlos

is there a way to stop the word break of the phone number on smaller screen? or maybe reduce the size of the position.

http://itc.bezahosts.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/telephone.jpg
You can use this css rule:
.tshowcase-single-telephone{ white-space: nowrap; }
Greetings, Carlos

Hi, can the mysite.com/team page be edited?

Hi! Thank you for using the plugin. In the settings page there’s an option to add a redirect from that page to any URL – usually to the page where you place the team shortcode. You can also change the team slug in the settings, if you want to use the slug /team/ for a different page. That page itself is created automatically as an archive page and is controlled mostly by your theme. It is possible to edit it, but would require a custom template page in your theme, so it’s not so trivial. Hope the info helps. Greetings, Carlos

Is it possible to make this stack the cards for responsive?

Hi! Thank you for using the plugin. The ‘cards’ should already adapt according to the screen size. If you’re having issues we can improve the css to work better with your page. Write me using the ‘contact author’ option in the support and share the link to your page and I can check how it can be improved. Greetings, Carlos

thanks very much :)
