Single Staff Member page

Same issue! driving me nuts. The only possible solution I can think of right now is creating a group for each individual but…. that is just ridiculous.

In a 3 monthago post, the creator offered a possible update later using an ID to generate the single page…

Excerpt:
“for example: to show the list you use [simple-staff-list]

maybe something like [simple-staff-list id=”1″]”

That would be perfect. I am trying to allow professors be selected and searched (SEO) on their own away from their groups.

Mintymurray’s attempt is close, but this might help more:
These calls get all the fields, but they can be placed in the entry-content area of your single-staff-member.php template.

I copy/pasted my page.php (using twenty thirteen theme) and used your variable setting, then echoed out those values in the content area.

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying staff member pages
**/

get_header(); ?>

	<div id="primary" class="content-area">
		<div id="content" class="site-content" role="main">

			<?php /* The loop */ ?>
			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

				<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
					<header class="entry-header">
						<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() && ! post_password_required() ) : ?>
						<div class="entry-thumbnail">
							<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
						</div>
						<?php endif; ?>

						<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
					</header><!-- .entry-header -->

					<div class="entry-content">
		<?
                //GET THE VARIABLE CONTENT FROM STAFF LIST
		global $post;
		$custom 	= get_post_custom();
		$name 		= get_the_title();
		$name_slug	= basename(get_permalink());
		$title 		= $custom["_staff_member_title"][0];
		$email 		= $custom["_staff_member_email"][0];
		$phone 		= $custom["_staff_member_phone"][0];
		$fax 		= $custom["_staff_member_fax"][0];
		$bio 		= $custom["_staff_member_bio"][0];
		$prof 		= $custom["_staff_member_prof"][0];
		$fb_url		= $custom["_staff_member_fb"][0];
		if ($custom["_staff_member_tw"][0]) { $tw_url = 'http://www.twitter.com/' . $custom["_staff_member_tw"][0]; }
		$li_url		= $custom["_staff_member_li"][0];
		if(has_post_thumbnail()){

			$photo_url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id() );
			$photo = '<img class="staff-member-photo" src="'.$photo_url.'" alt = "'.$title.'">';
		}else{
			$photo_url = '';
			$photo = '';
		}
		$email_mailto = '<a class="staff-member-email" href="mailto:'.antispambot( $email ).'" title="Email '.$name.'">'.antispambot( $email ).'</a>';
?>
	<div id="wrap">
		<div id="content">
<?
//HERE ECHO OUT THOSE FIELDS, ONLY IF THEY EXIST
if ($title){ echo 'Title: '.$title.'<br />'; }
if ($email){ echo 'Email: <a href="'.$email.'">'.$email.'</a><br />'; }
if ($phone){ echo 'Phone: '.$phone.'<br />'; }
if ($fax){ echo 'Fax: '.$fax.'<br />'; }
if ($bio){ echo 'Biography: '.$bio.'<br />'; }
if ($fb_url){ echo 'Facebook: '.$fb_url.'<br />'; }
if ($tw_url){ echo 'Twitter: '.$tw_url.'<br />'; }
?>

		<?php comments_template(); ?>

	</div>
						<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links"><span class="page-links-title">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentythirteen' ) . '</span>', 'after' => '</div>', 'link_before' => '<span>', 'link_after' => '</span>' ) ); ?>
					</div><!-- .entry-content -->

					<footer class="entry-meta">
						<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'twentythirteen' ), '<span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
					</footer><!-- .entry-meta -->
				</article><!-- #post -->

				<?php comments_template(); ?>
			<?php endwhile; ?>

		</div><!-- #content -->
	</div><!-- #primary -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

This shows the name, the image as a thumbnail, and all fields if they exist.

Hi jilleryfregan, thanks for sharing your input on this topic.
I’m looking for the same thing: just to display the staff info on single person page,
but I’m not entirelly sure what to do with the code you posted.
I know where to place it and such, but I’m not that good with PHP – could you please just point me in the right direction? Do I just copy-paste the solution you provided into the said template?
Thanks in advance!
