I should have included that this is a Divi themed site.

I just tried another site I manage, no Divi, and it’s working.

Seems to be the combined effect of Divi and Yoast, which is supposedly a new integration feature.

Hmm, I look at my CSS to see if the calendar is picking up my standard table.

I have cells set to align in the middle by default. Sounds like the calendar is picking up my default table layout.

Thanks for the tip. Let me see if I can create a calendar specific table style.

Switching to the TwentyFourteen theme, I find visually it’s not a problem.

Yet looking at the HTML, the problem I described above is still there.

So the missing style after the div is the bug.

It just seems to only be visible depending on the theme.

Ah – I see.

Download the plugin, and take the two missing files from your local copy.

Then upload them to the site, replacing the empty files.

Nasty bug!

I just updated, and got into this same problem.

But I don’t have a backup available with those files (long story not included).

How can I get this working again without those files?

Now search is broken again. Every search produces “no results.”

How is it that it works, but then completely fails?

The site is hosted at WPEngine. Is there some problem with that environment? I was working fine during development. Now that it’s in production, I enabled the CDN.

My only guess is somehow their caching environment is effecting Better Search.

I can’t explain it. I deactivated the plug in, tried another search enhancer, and gave up on it. Reactivated Better Search for a second time, and this time it stayed working. Bizarre.

BTW – I did find these errors while it wasn’t working.

I first reported the problem over a month ago (which is more than a “few days”).

The “simpliest way” doesn’t address the problem. I can add a shortcode, or modify the template page, but this only determines where to add a row. The problem is not adding, but DELETING the RANDOM rows that are appearing.

I’ve currently got the Shareaholic buttons hidden, but if you inspect this page (e.g. Firebug) you’ll find them (after every testimonials-text class).

Then, another example is this page. There’s a second row of buttons appearing just before the Google map. I’ve had to hide them on this page as well.

https://main280website.wpengine.com/calendar/event/optimal-product-management-and-product-marketing-2014-05-12/

I’ve tried disabling Shareaholic within the WP editor for the first page, but that only hides the last one at the bottom. The one appearing within the testimonials are not within my control.

The other example is a php template I’ve written. There’s dozens of these “event” pages. I cannot control the second (random) row that’s appearing in the middle of the page. I can add the template tag, and that inserted the row where I specific but the second row in the middle of the page still appears.

Those can be customised in the your theme of choice by creating a “single-team-member.php” file.

Can someone share the code necessary to actually build this template?

For example, how to show the team member’s details (especially the role).

How about controlling the image too. It’s a square and cropped. How do you control that?

This is why this plugin is more trouble than it’s worth. It’s easier to just create your own pages than write all this missing code.

I’m using the current version of the plugin, Version 7.3.0.1

Soon after posted my question I found the “wrapping” option in the settings.

I tried adding that but this forum gave me an error with the message “topic closed.”

I also get tossed to the main page when trying to edit a previous response.

I’d really REALLY like to know how to solve my other problem.

Matt, as the Chief Product Officer I’d think you’d want to show your role on your own individual page. You can see the problems I’m talking about on you team’s own site here:

https://www.woothemes.com/team-member/matty-cohen/

Note that it’s a completely generic post. It’s not a template for the actual team member. It doesn’t include any of the information from the team member’s record, like their role, which is the intent of using this plugin.

The member’s page is a generic, incorrect, and un-formatted page. It even has the posted date, which is silly.

Worse still, it has the wrong photo! I suspect it’s displaying the info from the post’s author, and not the team member. That’s pretty silly, right?

This page would be valuable to have. Say I mention a member on the site, such as an author of a book or article. I want to link to that member. That would mean the member needs a page properly formatted.

This is the problem with the Our Team plugin, and it’s a pretty obvious one I would think. This problem is not mentioned in the documentation. Without docs to help me, I spent too much time digging through the code to find how I could great the single post template, and gave up in frustration.

After all that, I think it deserves just 1-star. Help me create the single post’s page, and I’ll up the rating. I don’t need the single page template designed for me. I just need enough docs or sample code to get started. My suggestion is to include the single post template in the plugin.

Odd how my requests for support went unanswered, yet I quickly get a reply after this review.

The CSS is not the problem. That wasn’t as easy as it should have been. The content is designed to output it’s CSS to a widget class, rather than a page. Still, I was able to deal with that. It just was an unnecessary hassle (and the only example of this I’ve ever seen).

There’s no documentation on the individual team members page, nor is there a template that comes with the plugin. This plugin doesn’t support anything for properly rendering that page. I spent a few hours trying to write the PHP template, and didn’t get it working.

The lack of documentation, missing template, and my unanswered request for this plug in is why I gave it 1 star. If this plugin were written by an unknown author, I would have skipped even writting a review. Since this is coming from WooThemes I expect much more.

I’d change this review if I could get the individual team member page working. How do I control what appears on that page?

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.

This seems to work, but given my limited amount of coding with PHP this could very well use a code review. If nothing else, it’s a working sample ??

I create the shortcode [eo_venues] which takes no parameters. It simply lists all the venues into a list sorted by name. It’s up to the user to create their own title for this list.

if ( ! function_exists( 'handle_venuelist_shortcode' ) ) {
	function handle_venuelist_shortcode () {

		$cat_args = array(
				'orderby' => 'name',
				'hierarchical' => false,
				'taxonomy' => 'event-venue',
				'id' => 'eo-event-venue'
				 );

		ob_start();
		echo '<ul>';
		$cat_args['title_li'] = '';
		wp_list_categories($cat_args);
		echo '</ul>';
		$list = ob_get_clean();

		return $list;
	} // End handle_venuelist_shortcode()
}
add_shortcode( 'eo_venues', 'handle_venuelist_shortcode' );
