Thank you for downloading our Simple Schools Staff Directory plugin. Here is a quick primer on the installation and setup for installing our plugin-in. Upgrade at
http://www.simpleintranet.org/simple-schools to the full version of Simple Schools for more features and functionality.
- Download and unzip the plugin and copy/extract the "simple-schools" folder and upload all of its child files to the "wp-content/plugins" directory of your WordPress.org installation.
- You will then need to activate the Simple Schools Staff Directory plugin in the "Plugins" area of the Dashboard.
- It is advised that you name pages URLs after their post names (vs IDs), so go to "Settings / Permalinks" in the Dashboard and select "Post name" under Common Settings.
- For showing the Staff Directory (with a custom search bar to find people by name) you can include the [staff] shortcode in the HTML of any page you wish to create yourself. The recommended size for the Staff Photos is 100 x 100 pixels.
