How it works
- Go to GS Team > Add New Member. Enter the name, bio and job title, set the photo as the featured image, add social links and choose a group.
- Go to GS Team > Team Shortcode, create a shortcode and pick a design. The live preview updates as you change settings.
- Copy the shortcode, for example
[gsteam id=1], into any page or post, or use the GS Team block or widget in your page builder.
Each shortcode has three tabs:
- General: design, carousel, columns per device, link type, image size and which details to show.
- Style: fonts and colors for names, roles, bios and cards, plus carousel arrows and dots.
- Query: how many members to show, sorting, and which groups to include or exclude.
Under
Preferences you can change the profile page slug and layout, rename any front-end text, turn lazy loading off and add custom CSS.
Shortcode usage
[gsteam id=1]
In a theme file:
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[gsteam id=1]' ); ?>
See
how to create a shortcode for every option.
