To build a staff directory or team page, add a profile for each person once, with a headshot, job title, and contact details, then place one block that lists everyone. Visitors can filter the list by category, such as department. When someone's title or phone number changes, you update one profile and every page that lists them follows.

The steps below use the Dirigible People plugin and its People block.

Add a person

  1. Go to People → Add New Person.
  2. Enter the person's name where it says Enter Person's Name.
  3. Set a Featured image for the headshot.
  4. Open Person Information and fill in Job Title, contact details (Phone Number, Email Address, address, website), and social profiles.
  5. Add a short bio in Excerpt and a longer bio in the editor if your layout shows them.
  6. Assign Categories, and Tags if you use them.
  7. Click Publish.

Add the staff directory to a page

  1. Edit the page for your team or staff list.
  2. Insert the People block.
  3. Under Appearance, choose Display (Directory, Headshots, Blocks, or Minimal), Columns, the Headshots shape, and name and title styles.
  4. Under People, choose Show All, By Category, or Handpicked, then pick the categories or Handpicked People.
  5. Turn on Enable Filtering to show category buttons visitors can click to narrow the list.
  6. Under Fields, set Labels (Text, Icons, or None) and check the details to show, such as Phone, Email, Address, and Socials.
  7. Publish the page.

To feature one person, such as a director above the rest of the team, insert a Person block, choose the Person, and turn Name, Title, Link, and the other options on or off.
