This plugin creates a custom post type for event speakers. Includes speakers page and single-speakers page templates.
If you are upgrading from an earlier version, you will need to manually move the template_speakers.php and single-speakers.php files from the /wp-content/plugins/cpt-speakers/ folder in to the folder for your active theme. If the file already exists in your theme folder, overwrite it with the new one.
- Upload the
cpt-speakers folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
- Two template files will be added to your current theme folder
- Create a new page and select the
Speakers Page template
- Add your speakers from the WordPress dashboard
- (optional) Add speaker snippets (via shortcode) to your schedule page (example).
Shortcode format: [speaker_snippet id="3"] "3" would be the ID for the speaker you want to display
- Add custom CSS to your theme's style sheet to format the speaker's page. You can use this as a base and tweak as needed:
