WordPress for Women's Derby Bios?

Hi – You might want to look at using pages and featured images.

Here’s a relevant example:

https://www.hellionsoftroyrollerderby.com/hellions/active/

You could have a page structure like;

Skaters
– Skater 1
– Skater 2
– Skater 3

etc…

Then on the main skaters page you can do a query to show children pages with their featured thumbnails and title, linking to their individual page, where you can have larger image(s) and full bios / stats.

Hope that helps.

hello madjax,

thanks so much for the reply. i’ve created something of a gallery to start (still need to modify the theme, etc. for site aesthetics). My problem is that I can’t change the link URL on the picture. In this example ( https://assault2.justinlewis.me/?page_id=26 ) I have created the beginnings of a gallery. Next I need to link each image with a static profile page (like you mention above i think. . . ); however, I can’t change the image URL to link to the individual skater bio page (in this case Shakra Tease: https://assault2.justinlewis.me/?page_id=37 ).

I think my misunderstanding lies in the “do a query to show children pages” command. Any help? Thanks so much for your reply. I really appreciate any help you can provide (or links, I can read too! ??

Now that I’m googling around, I’m sure that I’ve misunderstood. Going to see if I can’t work out the query info myself, but feel free to post. Thnx!

OK, so I was really off base. I’ve created the subpages (children); however, I don’t know how to create a query to grab the thumbs of children pages and display them (as linkable) on the parent page. Any suggestions? THnx!

Try this… You may want to create a new custom page template if you don’t want all your pages to show their children in this fashion:

<div id="children">
<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=-1&post_parent='.$post->ID.'&post_type=page&orderby=title&order=ASC&caller_get_posts=1');
	while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<div class="child-page">
		<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
			<?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?>
		</a>
		<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
	</div>
	<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>

WOW! That almost has everything! I really, really appreciate it. Here’s what we’re looking at now:

https://assault2.justinlewis.me/?page_id=26

and here’s what the code looks like:

<?php
/*
Template Name: skatergallery
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=-1&post_parent='.$post->ID.'&post_type=page&orderby=title&order=ASC&caller_get_posts=1');
	while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<div class="child-page">
		<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
			<?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?>
		</a>
		<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
	</div>
	<?php endwhile; ?>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

First time I’ve ever done anything like this before. . . I’m beginning to work out the calls/commands/syntax. Any idea why the thumbs aren’t showing up above the Title/Permalink? Thnx so much for everything again.

Did you enable post_thumbnails in your theme?

You need this in your functions.php file:

add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');

Then of course you need to make sure the pages all have “Featured Images” selected. Pages>Edit>Featured Image (in right column).

PS – You are calling get_footer twice in your code…

I need exactly the same thing as jlewis004 posted….I am doing a wakeboard company website and they need a page that shows their team riders/athletes…..

I’m a bit confused on exactly how you got it to work from reading this post….I did see that you got it dialed.

is there a chance you could break it down step by step….I’m new to this wordpress stuff…
