Getting Started - Plugixa Team
Plugixa Team needs WordPress 6.5 and PHP 8.0. Install and activate it the usual way, and a Plugixa Team item appears in the admin menu. The database tables are created on activation; there is nothing to configure first.
1. Add a few members
Open Members and press Add Member. The only field that is really required is a name. Everything else is optional, and a member with just a name, a photo and a job title already looks right in every layout.
A member you are not ready to show stays a draft. Only published members appear on the front end, which is also how the submission form works: a new starter submits, and the record waits as a draft until somebody approves it.
2. Group them
Groups are departments, offices, project teams, anything. A member can be in several. Groups are what the group navigation and the filter layout use, so it is worth adding them early even if you only have two.
3. Pick a design
Views is where the design lives. Open the default view or create one, choose a layout, and watch the preview beside the settings. Nothing is published until you save, and nothing on the site changes until a page points at that view.
4. Put it on a page
Open Shortcodes, pick your view, and copy the tag it builds:
[plugixa_team view="your-view-slug"]
Paste it into any page or post. In the block editor you can use the Plugixa Team block instead and choose the view from a dropdown, which does the same thing without the tag.
Troubleshooting
| What you see | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The page shows nothing | Every member is still a draft | Publish at least one member |
| The shortcode prints as text | It is inside a code block, or the tag is misspelled | Retype it in a paragraph block |
| The layout is not the one you chose | The shortcode points at a different view | Check the view attribute against the view’s slug |
| Only some members appear | The view has a group filter or a limit | Open the view and check its Layout panel |
