Shortcodes — Plugixa Team

Plugixa Team ships two shortcodes:

• [plugixa_team] — display team members.
• [plugixa_team_form] — frontend submission form. PRO

Quick start

[plugixa_team]

Displays all published members using the default view.

[plugixa_team] attributes

Defaults are the plugin-wide defaults — they can be changed globally in Settings, overridden per-view, or overridden per-shortcode via the attributes below.

Data source

Attribute	Default	Values	Description
id	0	int	Load a saved shortcode configuration by ID.
view_id	0	int	View ID — overrides the saved shortcode’s view.
view	""	slug	View slug (alternative to view_id; resolved to ID).
group	""	slug(s) / ID(s)	Comma-separated group slugs or IDs.
department	""	string(s)	Comma-separated department names.
limit	-1	int	Max total members fetched (-1 = all).
orderby	display_order	display_order, created_at, first_name, last_name, hire_date	Sort field.
order	ASC	ASC, DESC	Sort direction.
featured_only	0	1 / 0	Only show featured members.
language	auto	language code	Force a language (overrides Polylang detection).

Display toggles

An empty value means “use the saved view config”. A 1 forces on; a 0 forces off.

Attribute	Default	Description
show_photo	(view)	Show member photo.
show_name	(view)	Show name.
show_job_title	(view)	Show job title.
show_department	(view)	Show department.
show_bio	(view)	Show bio / short bio.
show_email	(view)	Show email as mailto: link.
show_phone	(view)	Show phone as tel: link.
show_social	(view)	Show social icons.
show_skills	(view)	Show skills bars.
show_ribbon	(view)	Show ribbon badge.

Groups nav

Attribute	Default	Values	Description
groups_nav	(view)	yes, no	Override view’s groups-nav enabled state. Uses the view’s displayStyle (tabs/pills/dropdown), defaulting to tabs.
show_member_count	no	yes, no	Show per-group member count badges.

Dark mode

Attribute	Default	Values	Description
dark_mode	disabled	disabled, enabled, auto	auto follows prefers-color-scheme.

Pagination

Attribute	Default	Values	Description
pagination	1	1 / 0	Enable / disable pagination.
pagination_style	(view)	numbers, load_more, infinite_scroll	Visual style.
per_page	8	int	Items per page.

Pagination is automatically disabled for carousel layouts (Swiper handles paging).

Schema / SEO

Attribute	Default	Values	Description
schema	1	1 / 0	Emit JSON-LD Organization + ItemList schema for this instance.

Per-shortcode schema combines with the global enable_schema setting — both must be on.

[plugixa_team group="engineering"]
[plugixa_team group="engineering,design,marketing"]

The visual Shortcode Builder

Instead of memorizing attributes, use the builder at Plugixa Team → Shortcodes → Add New.

Configure through tabbed sections:

• Shortcode Details — name, slug, description.
• Query — view, groups, department, ordering, featured-only.
• Display Options — show/hide toggles.
• Dark Mode — three-state Light / Dark / Auto.
• Pagination — enabled, style, per page, load-more label.
• Schema — per-shortcode JSON-LD toggle.

A sticky live preview on the right shows the rendered output with your chosen view and filters, using real published members.

Save and reuse

Click Save Configuration to store the shortcode under a name. Access saved configurations from the list ([plugixa_team id="7"]).

[plugixa_team_form] PRO

The frontend submission form. See Submission Form for the complete setup (reCAPTCHA, photo upload, approval workflow, inline vs modal).

[plugixa_team_form]

The form respects the plugin’s Submission Settings:

• Which fields are shown.
• Which fields are required.
• Inline or modal display.
• Photo upload enabled / disabled.
• reCAPTCHA v3 on / off.

The Gutenberg block

See Blocks — the block exposes the same options through a visual sidebar, no shortcode typing required.

Settings cascade

When a setting appears in multiple places, this is the priority order (highest wins):

1. Shortcode attribute — e.g., [plugixa_team show_bio="0"].
2. Shortcode config record — saved via the builder (loaded when id="…").
3. View config — the view selected via view / view_id.
4. Global settings — Plugixa Team → Settings.

Use in PHP / template files

<?php echo do_shortcode( '[plugixa_team group="leadership" limit="5"]' ); ?>

For programmatic rendering with type-safe PHP arguments, call the class directly:

echo \PlugixaTeam\Frontend\Shortcodes::render_team( [
    'view_id'       => 3,
    'group'         => 'engineering',
    'featured_only' => true,
    'per_page'      => 8,
] );

Use in widgets

• Appearance → Widgets → add a Shortcode widget.
• Paste [plugixa_team] or [plugixa_team id="7"].

Troubleshooting

The shortcode is printed as text

• Confirm the plugin is active.
• Check that quotes are straight ("), not curly (""). The WP visual editor sometimes converts them — paste from a plain-text editor.
• If you’re using a page builder, use the builder’s Shortcode widget, not a raw HTML block.

“No members found”

• Check the group slug — typos are the #1 cause. Compare the slug in Groups to what’s in your shortcode.
• Confirm members are published, not draft or hidden.
• If multilingual, check the current language matches the member’s language. Try language="en" explicitly.

Design looks different from the view preview

• The shortcode overrides the view. Check whether you’ve accidentally set dark_mode, show_*, or pagination inline.
• Theme CSS conflicts — use browser DevTools to find the overriding rule. Target .pxt-custom-team-root specifically.

Carousel flickers or doesn’t slide

• Make sure the view’s layout is carousel.
• Check that Swiper loaded (look for plugixateam-swiper in network requests). If a caching plugin is deferring scripts, add an exception for swiper-bundle.min.js.
