adding bio to team member page

  • To create a page specific to a team member, I’ve duplicated “single.php” and named it “single-team-member.php”

    I can verify this template file is called to display the page, but now I need to write the code to display only what I want.

    I’ve look at the docs, but I’m not finding any clues. I’ve been reading the code, and still not seeing what I need to do. I even been reading the code for the theme, and going even deeper into WordPress code. Now I’m just banging my head against the monitor.

    The entire page is pretty much created by this one line.

    woo_get_template_part( 'content', get_post_type() );

    So how to I make that call do what I want, or what new code do I need to replace it with?

    I want the member’s photo, and their bio, added to the page.

    I also need to disable the meta data from being displayed (posted by, categories, read more, add comment, etc.) This is the stuff that’s added by the Canvas theme by WooThemes.

    I’m coming to the conclusion this plug in isn’t worth the time it takes to get it doing what is should.

    Given the lack of documentation and support from its author(s) I can’t find what it takes to do something obvious.

    How do you get the member’s role to appear on the individual member’s page?

    It appears on the team page, but not the individual’s page.

    Hi Jim, I may be able to help as I have been working with the plugin myself recently.
    If you take a look at the Other Notes page, you can find some documentation that you can use to add to your single-team-member.php.

    You should not need to worry about the theme code, just the code that you want to add specifically for the plugin.

    So, to display the team members image:

    'display_avatar' => true,

    So it would look like this with the php on your ‘single-team-member.php’:

    <?php do_action( 'woothemes_our_team', array(
		'before'         => '<div class="widget_woothemes_our_team">', //this adds a div before the content so you can easily style
		'after'          => '</div>', //closes the div

		'display_author' => true, //Shows the name of the team members
		'display_avatar' => true, //This is the featured image, that is how you can display the team members image
		'title'			 => 'Whatever You Want The Title To Be',
		'before_title' => '<h1>',
		'after_title' => '</h1>',
		'size' => 200  //Size of the image
		 )

 ); ?>

    Note that there are more options and you will want to edit them appropriately for your needs.

    I hope this helps you. It looks like you posted a while ago so you probably figured it out.

    Best.
