<p>The plugin gives users the oportunity to embed a directory of Members of a site within any page.<br />
When using the shortcode [blog_members] when<br />
writing in the content of any page, the user includes in the page, a<br />
list of all Members of that site.</p>
<p>I am working on adding the ability to set options, such as hide_admin, hide_empty, etc…</p>


Blog Members Directory shortcode

The plugin enables any page or post author to include a Blog Members directory by using a shortcode.

<p>Maya Team Directory lets you create and display a clean, fast team directory on your WordPress site. Add team members with profile photos, positions, departments, contact details, and bios, then display them with a simple <code>[maya_team]</code> shortcode.</p>
<p>The free plugin is intentionally lean and focused. It ships with everything you need to publish a working team page: the custom post type, group taxonomy, a responsive grid layout, search, group filtering, pagination, and a single-member template.</p>
<p>This plugin makes no remote calls, has no license key, no in-plugin upsell prompts, and never asks for your credit card to unlock built-in features.</p>
<p>Optional companion add-ons (CSV import/export, REST API endpoints, extra layouts, sidebar widget, custom CSS, accent color picker, social-network fields and icons — LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Instagram, GitHub, YouTube — featured-member highlighting, per-group layout overrides, and more) are available separately at https://mayanaikotech.com/maya-team-directory/. They install as their own plugin and are 100% optional — this plugin works fully without them.</p>
