About Team Members & Staff Profiles — Our Team
From the official readme · v1.1.2Description
Team Members & Staff Profiles — Our Team lets agencies, law firms, clinics, and corporate sites showcase their team professionally — without writing a single line of code.

Four Card Style Presets
Choose from Classic Card, Overlay (hover reveal), Horizontal, and Minimal — all configurable from Settings → Display without touching any code.
Accessible Profile Modal
Enable a full-profile lightbox popup on card click. The modal is fully accessible — focus trap, ESC to close, ARIA roles, keyboard navigation, and in-memory caching for instant second opens.
Privacy & Public Data
Email and phone fields are hidden from public display and the REST API by default. They are only exposed publicly when the site administrator explicitly enables them in Settings → Display. The vCard download endpoint honours the same setting.
Compatibility
Tested alongside Astra, Kadence, GeneratePress, OceanWP, Blocksy, Hello Elementor, Storefront, and Flatsome themes; Elementor, Elementor Pro, Gutenberg, Spectra, Kadence Blocks, and GenerateBlocks; WooCommerce (including HPOS); Rank Math, Yoast SEO, and AIOSEO; WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, and Perfmatters; WPML, Polylang, and TranslatePress; Wordfence.
External services
This plugin does not connect to, send data to, or receive data from any external service.
All functionality — including team listings, Schema.org markup, the REST API, and vCard generation — runs entirely on the user’s own installation. No analytics, telemetry, license checks, update pings, or remote API calls are made by this build.

webtend-team-staff-managerfolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu.

Frequently asked questions
Does this work with my theme?
Yes. The plugin ships with its own lightweight, theme-agnostic templates and CSS that adapt to any standards-compliant theme, including all major business themes (Astra, Kadence, GeneratePress, OceanWP, Blocksy).
Can I override the templates?
Yes. Copy any file from /templates/ into your-theme/webtend-team-staff-manager/ keeping the same relative path, and the plugin will use your version automatically.
Does it slow down my site?
No. All CSS/JS is loaded conditionally — only on pages that actually display team members. No assets are loaded site-wide.
Is it GDPR compliant?
Yes. Email and phone number are hidden from public display and the public REST API by default. The site administrator explicitly opts in to publishing them via Settings → Display.
Does the plugin call any external services?
No. All functionality runs entirely on your own installation. No analytics, telemetry, license checks, or remote API calls are made.
