Creating Staff Profiles

Each staff member is a staff post: a name, a biography, a photo, contact details, and department assignments.

Setting Display Order

Staff lists sort by Order, then by name. A lower Order appears first. Matching Order values sort by name.

1. Open the Staff list.
2. Click Quick Edit for the staff member, set Order, then click Update.

Use gaps such as 10, 20, and 30 so you can place someone between two people later.

Assigning Departments

Assign departments in the Departments panel:

1. Select one or more departments, or click Add New Department.
2. Click Publish or Save.

A person assigned to more than one department is listed under each of those departments on the archive page.

Department setup is covered in Departments.

Bulk Management

1. On the staff list, click a department in the Departments column.
2. Select the staff members you want to change.
3. Choose Edit or Move to Trash in Bulk actions, then click Apply.
4. Edit includes a Departments checklist.

Best Practices

• Use photos that are a similar size and quality.
• Keep biographies a similar length.
• Review profiles so names, roles, and contact details stay current.

Singular Label and Plural Label are set in Installation.
