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.csscan 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?
Hi! Thank you for your interest in the plugin. The plugin was not developed to be a user/profile management system, so it has some limitations. However, If a registered user have the correct privileges, they can create a team member entry that only they can edit. This is something I want to improve in future versions also, make it easier to use the plugin as a profile management system also. If you have any other question let me know. Greetings, Carlos
Hi Carlos…thanks for a quick reply. When you say correct privileges are you referring to privileges coming from the plugin itself or wordpress. We are a magazine and our authors have very distinct privileges based on their role and we can’t change those. Can you eleborate a bit more please.
The users need to have the capability to ‘edit_posts’. If they can create posts, they will be able to create team member entries also. Since it’s a magazine, I imagine they are authors and can create posts. This should be enough to also allow them to create a team member entry and edit it. Hope it helps. Greetings, Carlos
Yes, this helps. Thank you.
I purchased Carlos. Do you have an instructions guide on how my authors can create their team member entry or what I need to do? Thanks.
Thank you for purchasing. Your users that have the capability to create posts, should also have the option to create a team member entry, they should see the ‘Team’ menu entry in the administration. If you prefer, you can create the entries yourself and associate them with the existing user (both in the option of the member information and the entry author option that wordpress has available). This way the users will already find their entry when they go into the ‘team’ admin archive and can edit it. Greetings, Carlos
Do you have any documentation at all? I’m in admin and see nothing under my profile settings that seem about the plugin.
Also for member image I get an error that say’s: Sorry, you are not allowed to upload files.
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.
Hi! The addon you mention claims that it’s compatible with any plugin that uses custom post types and metadata, which is the case of my plugin, so it should work. You’ll just need the IDs for the information fields, which are available here: https://codecanyon.net/item/team-showcase-wordpress-plugin/4936368/faqs/23808
Hope it helps. Greetings, Carlos
Thank you!
Do you have any step by step written or video instructions for setting these kind of things up?
Unfortunately not. But this would depend totally on the form plugin to do most of the work. You should check with the super forms plugin author if they have a tutorial to setup frontend submission for a custom post type. But it should be easy. Cheers, Carlos
Thank you!
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’]
Hi! When using pagination you need to set a limit of entries to display, so the plugin knows how many entries per page to display. Set the paramater limit=’4’ for example, and the pagination should display. If the problem persists, let me know. Greetings, Carlos
Its working! Thanks!
Another issue w/ pagination when using Grid layout clicking on page 2 just reloads page 1. You can see it at this link: http://itc.bezahosts.com/academics/faculty-academic-staff/
And here is the shortcode we’re using: [show-team limit=’9’ pagination=’true’ ids=’4761,4785,4786,4787,4789,4790,4791,4792,4793,4794,4795,4796,4801,4810,4816,4817,4820,4821,4824,4825,4832,4834,4835’ url=’active’ layout=’grid’ style=’img-square,img-white-border,text-left,img-above,3-columns,badge-theme’ display=’name,photo,freehtml,position’]
You’re using the ‘ids’ parameter which specifies which entries to display and this overrides the pagination parameter. The correct way to do it, would be to not use the ids parameter and set a ‘orderby’ parameter. If you want a specific order for the entries, use the ‘drag&drop’ in the administration archive and use the default order by. Otherwise use the orderby date or IDs so the plugin knows what order to follow for the pagination. Hope it helps. Greetings, Carlos
Thanks for the info but the reason we are using ‘ids’ parameter is we couldn’t get a way to show all “Faculty” plus only some “Staff” instead of all staff. Any suggestions on how to display 23 users and have it paginate 9/page that can display all faculty and just some staff?
In the settings page you can enable the second taxonomy and use it to create a new group to associate those entries and use it to filter them in the shortcode generator. This should work well. Let me know if something doesn’t work. Greetings, Carlos
Hi, is there any way to have the email be replaced with an icon?
http://itc.bezahosts.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/email.jpgYou 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
.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
