Meet the Team-page

  • Hey guys, I have a bit of a problem. I’m using WordPress as a cms for my company, but I ran into one problem: I cannot figure out exactly how to do my “Meet the team” page. I have a layout I would like to make, but I simply can’t figure out how to.
    Basically, what I want is a layout like here: https://www.cxpartners.co.uk/who-we-are/ (three columns and as many rows as needed). Under the picture, I’d just like name and title. Then, if you click on picture or name, I’d like something like what happens here to happen: https://www.aprirose.com/team.html
    I think I need two plugins for this: One that lets me add content in rows (it has to be fairly easy, in case my collegues would need to update themselves) and another that displays a post in a lightbox-like way when you click on image/text link.
    I’ve been searching and looking for plugins, but I can’t seem to find any that works for this particular task. Alternatively, I’d make it so the images/names links to the post with description on a page on it’s own.
    Any pointers in the right direction are welcome!

    Not sure about content in rows, but lightbox effect there are many plugins to choose from.

    Your web site https://romowind.com/wp/ is based on Twenty Ten and you have created a new directory with the data (that’s good, editing the old files in the /twentyten directory would be bad).

    What you are doing is working, but you may want to review the child theme document especially if most of your changes are just CSS alterations.

    The lightbox-thing is the smaller of my problems, sadly. The rows is my biggest worry atm. I’ve tried a few lightbox plugins, though I have yet to find the exact right one, but that’s the sort of thing I can play around with later on – my deadline for this webpage is soon, and as you can see, I still have a lot to do.

    I’m aware that I’m not doing 100% by the book with my editing of the theme, I’m still pretty new with wordpress and self-taught, so I’ll look over the link you posted.

    No no, you’re doing fine. Most people edit the theme directly and self-inflicted wounds are the worst. I suggested child themes as a way to keep the heavy lifting down, but what you are doing in your own directory is just as good.

    Oh, ok. Good! XD There’s a lot of unused code atm, though, but it’s the sort of thing I’ll clean up after everything is in place, when I have time to sit and go through every line of code on its own. If you go to the root domain, you see why they’re in a hury to get a new webpage.

    I’ve now somewhat gotten the effect I want with wp-table plugin (Urgh, I hate tables, but for now, it’ll have to do)

    I’m not exactly sure how to actually get the posts to display in a lightbox-like way. Basically, what I want is that when the image is clicked, a post with heading, picture and text (but no header/footer) is displayed in a lightbox effect. I’m almost sure there must be an easy solution to this, I just can’t find it. I tried a few lightbox plugins, but no luck there.
