CPT – Speakers

This plugin creates a custom post type for event speakers. Includes speakers page and single-speakers page templates.

If you are upgrading from an earlier version, you will need to manually move the template_speakers.php and single-speakers.php files from the /wp-content/plugins/cpt-speakers/ folder in to the folder for your active theme. If the file already exists in your theme folder, overwrite it with the new one.

1. Upload the cpt-speakers folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Two template files will be added to your current theme folder
4. Create a new page and select the Speakers Page template
5. Add your speakers from the WordPress dashboard
6. (optional) Add speaker snippets (via shortcode) to your schedule page (example).
   Shortcode format: [speaker_snippet id=”3″] “3” would be the ID for the speaker you want to display

7. Add custom CSS to your theme’s style sheet to format the speaker’s page. You can use this as a base and tweak as needed:

   speakers {

   font-size: 12px;
   min-height: 300px;
   

   }

   speaker_image_section {

   width: 150px;
   float: left;
   height: 300px;
   margin-right: 18px;
   

   }

   speaker_image img {

   margin-top: 5px;
   border: 1px solid #333;
   padding: 3px;
   background: #0099cc;
   

   }

   speaker_name {

   font-size: 18px;
   font-weight: bold;
   margin-bottom: 10px;
   

   }

   speaker_url {

   text-align: center;
   

   }

   speaker_twitter_url {

   text-align: center;
   

   }

   speaker_pres_title {

   margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
   font-size: 13px;
   

   }

   speaker_pres_description {

   font-size: 12px;
   font-family: arial, helvetica;
   line-height: 16px;
   

   }

   speaker_session_description {

   font-size: 12px;
   line-height: 18px;
   

   }

   speaker_image_section_single {

   width: 150px;
   float: left;
   height: 600px;
   margin-right: 18px;
   

   }

   speaker_image_section_single img{

   margin-top: 5px;
   border: 1px solid #333;
   padding: 3px;
   background: #0099cc;
   

   }

   pres_url {

   text-align: center;
   

   }

   .speaker_snippet .thumbnail {
   float:left;
   display:inline;
   margin-right:10px;
   border-bottom:0;
   }

   content .speaker_snippet .thumbnail a {

   border-bottom:0;
   

   }
   .speaker_snippet .name {
   font-weight:bold;
   line-height:16px;
   }
   .speaker_snippet .title {
   font-size:0.9em;
   line-height:15px;
   }

Why am I getting a page not found error when trying to visit the single speaker’s page?

The Permalinks page needs to be re-saved. Go to Settings -> Permalinks and click the Save Changes button.
