Staff listing

[Kem]

Hi,

I am currently updating the staff list but once the members have exceeded the first page I get this message when you click onto older posts “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.” and at the top is says “page not found – 2/0”

Please can you advice

Thanks

Kem,

Let’s try this. Go to Settings and select “permalinks.” Click save at the bottom. Wait for the page to refresh. Click save one more time.

That usually will clear out a not found error for a staff member.

Let me know if you run into any trouble,
Bill

Sorry Bill,

Before you close this topic, is there anyway to rename the staff group?

It shows as websitename/staff-group/name of post but I am listing exhibitors and sponsors not staff, can I change this in a setting?

Thanks

Kem,

Great question. You can do that. If it was possible to add that to the theme options I would, but since it’s not, we can change it manually. Here’s how:

1. Go to Plugins in your WordPress dashboard and select “Add New.”
2. Search for WP Editor and install/activate the plugin.
3. Go to the Appearance section and select Theme Editor.
4. From the list of files on your right, click “includes” to open that folder and then “post-types” to open it. Then click on the staff.php file.
5. Look for this spot (line 59):

   
   'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'staff-group', 'with_front' => false )
   

6. Change staff-group to exhibitors and save your changes.
7. Then go back to Settings > Permalinks and save your settings again.

That should change the URL structure to use “exhibitors” instead of “staff-group.”

If you have any trouble, let me know,
Bill

Thanks Kem! I do appreciate it.

Hey Bill,

Is there any way to split the staff listing in two ie exhibitors and vendors?

I set them into two different staff groups thinking it would show separately on the site as I added it to the menu via the staff group but it still merged them.

Thanks

Kem,

I see what you mean as that’s the way it’s intended to work. Let’s do this. Go to the Appearance section and select edit. From the list of files on your right, choose taxonomy-staff-group.php. Replace everything there with the code below and save your changes. See if that works out better for you. If you have any trouble, let me know.

Hey Ben,

I have notice one thing. When I click a staff group from the menu and it lists all my exhibitors the changes you suggested work 🙂

But when I click on an individual exhibitor the url is domain name/staff/company name

Do you know how I can correct this to say domain name/exhibitor/company name

Thanks

Kem

Kem,

You can change that too. Go to the Appearance section and select Theme Editor. Open up staff.php again. Right below this line:

'show_in_nav_menus'		=> false,

add this:

'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'exhibitor' ),

and save your changes. Then go to Settings > Permalinks and save them again so you won’t end up with any not found errors.

That should change the URL’s for you to match.

If you have any trouble, let me know,
Bill

Hey Bill,

I had a look but I cant find the staff.php file

[Bill Robbins]

Kem,

You’ll have to use the same WP Editor plugin that you used to edit that file earlier. Once the plugin is active, go to Appearance and select Theme Editor. Look inside the “includes” folder for one labeled “post-types.” You’ll be able to find the staff.php file there.

Let me know if you have any trouble,
Bill

[Kem]

Fab 🙂

All sorted.

Thanks Bill
