How Do I Use Staffer’s Shortcodes?

Follow this format for shortcodes:

[staffer]

The above example would output all of the staff listings in default order.

To fine-tune, you can use parameters:

[staffer number="5" department="slug" layout="grid"]

In the above example, “number” refers to the number of entries to retrieve, and “department” refers to the department name slug. For instance, if you only wanted to show a list of members in department term with the “management” slug, you would pass “management” as a parameter. Layout can be either grid or list.

Other parameters include “order” and “orderby” — and all parameters are optional.

Using the extra parameters, you could reorder the entries using WP_Query’s order and orderby parameters.

For example, if you wanted to display 50 staff members, ordered by name alphabetically, you would do the following:

[staffer number="50" order="ASC" orderby="name"]

How Can I Set the Order of Staff Profiles?

For now, use a custom ordering plugin, such as Post Types Order, available in the WordPress plugin repository. I plan on adding this functionality to Staffer in the future.

What Size Should the Staff Images Be?

When you upload an image, a custom thumbnail for Staffer is automatically generated, so feel free to use any image size for your Staff profiles.

Lisa December 14, 2018

developer made major changes with last update that left us out in the cold. hasn’t addressed the issue at all in the support and there is no more updates.

Developer doesn’t know what he’s doing

Two years without an update to this plugin, but when the author does decide to provide one, it’s a completely new plugin with changes that lock you into a style that is neither appealing nor adds to the overall function of the post type.

Simple, effective, elegant

Marty November 2, 2016

After using on a new project, very impressed with this plugin. Only concern is no updates in awhile, hopefully the dev will continue to improve and build upon the plugin (for example, implementing built in order capability).

Nice staff plugin
