A simple plugin to build and display a staff listing for your website.
The Simple Staff List plugin allows you to build a staff directory for your website. You get an easy-to-use interface
which allows you to edit the following fields for each staff member: Name, Photo, Position, Email, Phone Number, and Bio.
There’s also a drag-and-drop interface to set the order of your staff members.
You’ll use the [simple-staff-list] shortcode within a page or post to display the full staff listing in the order set
on the “Order” page. You’ll be able to customize the information shown for each staff member on your website by editing a simple template. You can add your own custom CSS to style your staff list as well.
Use the Simple Staff List support section to post any problems/comments!

My Staff List won’t show up on my site!
Alright, here’s a few things to try:
* Be sure to make sure you’ve included the [simple-staff-list] shortcode somewhere in a page or post.
* Double check the “Staff Loop Template” on the plugin’s “Templates” page. Make sure all of your tags are located between [staff_loop] and [/staff_loop].

2.2.0
- FEATURE: Use the
id shortcode parameter to show a single Staff Member block

sslp_enable_staff_member_archive filter to disable the /staff-member archive page. This filter defaults to true – pass false to turn off the archive page. You will need to flush the permalinks for this to take effect.
