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.
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.
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.
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.
