Add a new staff member through Staff → Add New Staff in the WordPress admin panel.
Basic Fields
Staff use the same basic fields as standard posts:
- Title — The staff member name or heading.
- Editor — The main content area. Use the Gutenberg block editor to add text, images, and other blocks.
- Featured Image — The main image that represents this staff member in archive listings and the single page header.
- Excerpt — A short summary displayed in archive listings.
- Categories — Assign to one or more staff categories.
Staff Member Options
Below the editor, you will find the Staff Member Options panel with settings specific to this content type. If the options are not visible, check the Screen Options at the top of the page.
Important: Save the post first before editing the staff member options. Some fields only appear after the initial save.
- Position — The staff member’s job title or role (e.g., Executive Director, Volunteer Coordinator).
- Featured Image — Choose to display or hide the featured image (profile photo).
- Social Media — Add up to 5 social media links with Link Text, URL, and Font Awesome icon class.
