  Hello

  I need to be able to assign / display a team member(s) to a post / portfolio.

  Done a quick search, surprised that this hasn’t be requested before? would be a great feature.

  Is there a shortcode i could use – to display a member(s)?

  Many thanks

  David

  Hi

  No never had anyone request this before, posts can only be linked to WordPress users, not team members

  You would need to use the team member asset, but to display only 1 you would need to assign them each a category so you can select that category in the asset options

  yes, thats my problem.

  What I’m trying to do: When I create a post (all posts are about a piece of work) – I can display which team member(s) worked on it – which will then link to there team profile.

  Does that make sense? or is that insane!
  If its not do able, Is there a way of creating a selectable list of buttons to each team member (via a plugin or something) – Its for the enduser to just click ‘assign john doe’ to that project

  Thanks Kyle, appreciate the time.

  Ok

  I know I can produce a work around. But It leads to another question!

  I’d like to create a menu that uses ‘team’
  But when I go to create a menu, I can’t select it from the options.
  Its Strange that it allows you to select ‘FAQs’? why not team?

  Any chance I could add something to functions.php to allow teams into the menu selection?

  Many thanks

  David
