This plugin provides a way to query Parliament’s database and return a profile of an MP in the House of Commons, using a shortcode. All you need is their constituency name or postcode, and the magic is done for you! Possible usage for this includes:
<ul>
<li>Campaigning for an issue and offering a way for readers to contact your local MP</li>
<li>Providing basic information on an MP relevant to your content or news story</li>
<li>Raising awareness about who to consult with regarding local issues </li>
</ul>
This plugin relies on the data offered by the third party service of <a href="http://www.data.parliament.uk/" rel="nofollow ugc">UK Parliament Data</a> to return the information and portrait in the profile based on a constituency. This data is licensed under the <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/site-information/copyright/open-parliament-licence/" rel="nofollow ugc">Open Parliament Licence</a> – there are no additional Privacy Policies from UK Parliament Data relating to this plugin. In order to find your parliamentary constituency based on your postcode, the third party service of <a href="https://github.com/ideal-postcodes/postcodes.io/" rel="nofollow ugc">Postcodes.io</a> is used.
<h4>Instructions</h4>
In order to render a profile, use the following shortcode structure: [profilemp constituency=”Leeds Central”]
Or with a postcode: [profilemp postcode=”LS1 4DY”]
Ensure that you replace the constituency/postcode with the one of the MP with the profile that you wish to render!
If you’re using a parliamentary constituency, you’ll need to use the exact name of it, and this can be inserted directly into the shortcode, even if there are characters such as brackets. For example, [profilemp constituency=”Richmond (Yorks)”] would work.
Using a shortcode can be done through the Shortcode Gutenberg block, or in the Classic Editor. You can render as many on a single page as you want, even with different MPs!
