There are various parameters that can be used to specify which profiles display and in what order. These are used by inserting them into the [profiles] shortcode. Note that you must use double quotes (“) for these parameters to work.
- id - displays the excerpt version of the single profile with that id. To get the id of a profile, edit the profile and find the number in the URL, e.g. /wp-admin/post.php?post=7820&action=edit. To display the profile with id XX, type the following: [profiles id=”XX”].
- tag - displays all profiles with that tag, e.g. [profiles tag=”engineering”].
- view=”grid” or view=”list” - Displays a grid view or list view of profiles. Omitting the ‘view’ parameter defaults to a list. E.g. [profiles view=”grid”] to display a grid of all profiles.
- sort=”name” - sorts alphabetically by name as originally input into the CAEN profile. Omitting sort will display profiles chronologically by creation time. E.g. [profiles sort=”name”]
- role=”faculty” or role=”staff” or role=”student” or role=”alumni” - displays all profiles with that role. E.g. [profiles role=”faculty”] displays all faculty profiles.
Parameters can also be combined. For example:
[profiles tag=”engineering”]
[profiles tag=”EE” role=”faculty” sort=”name” view=”grid”]
will display a grid view of all faculty profiles with the tag EE sorted alphabetically by name. Or:
[profiles role=”faculty”]
[profiles role=”staff”]
will display a list of all faculty profiles followed by a list of all staff profiles.
