I need to add a large number of items to the ‘our team’ page. I can see that I can format them exactly as I please, which is great, but I need to add the ability to sort them. Is that possible? I know they are manually created items but when I have created similar items in html it has usually been simple to add filters to them. With this theme I’m not sure how to do it.
Thanks for your help.
Hey brian7454!
To be able to sort them you would have to create them as posts (or a custom post type) and then add categories or tags to filter them by. You can do this with our Masonry element.
Or there may be a plugin out there that has this functionality, https://wordpress.org/plugins/.
Cheers!
ElliottHm. Okay well that sounds like creating something else rather than what I wanted to do. If you have a large number of employees you might want to be able to filter and display by department, country of whatever, not just have a long list. I actually wanted to use something like the ‘our team’ page and format for this, just with items being filterable. I would have thought that was a logical function on a staff listing page unless you only employ half a dozen people.
Hi!
As Elliott said it would be best to have these as a Custom Post Type + a Custom Taxonomy (you can use this plugin for that) and then use one of the available Enfold elements to create a sortable Grid or Masonry.
Best regards,
JosueOkay, I’ll look at that.
Just a thought though; I have never seen an ‘our team’ section in any theme that is actually useful for more than a very small business. Maybe someone should think of adding that as a future item? I mean, imagine you have an organisation based in more than one country or with multiple departments.. finding what you want with standard team pages isn’t so easy or pretty. Also, with each country, you might want different languages or country-specific content, or with each department, specific material for that. It would be invaluable and would also be easily editable for other applications. I have a dozen sites that are on html because none of the themes I’ve found have that sort of functionality – it may be the case that if I learn how to deal with and display custom posts I could work it out, but themeforest isn’t for coding experts, is it?!
Anyhow thanks for the suggestions.
