WebTend — Team Profiles
for Elementor

What is WebTend Team Profiles?

WebTend Team Profiles gives any WordPress site a dedicated, structured way to showcase its people — founders, staff, consultants, or support agents — with proper job titles, departments, social links, and contact details. It is entirely self-hosted: no SaaS subscription, no phone-home telemetry, no external service is contacted by the free, WordPress.org-distributed build.

The plugin ships a custom Team Members post type, two taxonomies (Departments and Job Roles), a one-click vCard (.vcf) export per member, native Gutenberg blocks, Elementor widgets, shortcodes for any builder, and an optional WooCommerce tab that links a product to the team member who handles it.

System Requirements

The plugin enforces its minimum WordPress and PHP versions on activation and shows an admin notice instead of fataling if they aren't met. Elementor and WooCommerce are both fully optional.

Installation

Method A — WordPress Plugin Directory (Recommended)

Method B — Manual Upload

Quick Start

After activation you'll find Team Manager in your WordPress admin menu, with a built-in "Getting Started" page that mirrors this flow.

• Go to Team Manager → Departments and add a few departments (Engineering, Marketing, Sales…)
• Optionally add some Job Roles too, if you want a second way to group people
• Go to Team Manager → Add New and create your first member: featured image, job title, bio, social links, and skills
• Display your team with the [webtend_team] shortcode, the Team Grid block/widget, or anywhere else — see the Shortcodes section
• Go to Team Manager → Settings to fine-tune layout, visibility, schema markup, and URL slugs

Team Member Profiles

Each team member is a custom post (wttm_team_member) with its own edit screen, organised into focused meta boxes:

Details

Job title, email address, and phone number. Email and phone are stored either way, but only rendered on the front end if the corresponding Display setting is switched on — see Display & Privacy.

Social

Ten built-in social network fields, filterable via webtend_tm_social_networks:

Skills

A simple tag list rendered on the card and single member page — useful for "Skills: WordPress, PHP, Figma" style summaries.

Display order

Members can be manually drag-ordered; this custom order is used as the default sort everywhere (shortcode, blocks, widgets) unless you explicitly choose a different orderby.

Photo & bio

The post's Featured Image is the profile photo, and the standard content editor is the bio — no separate custom fields, so any block or the classic editor works for writing it.

Departments & Job Roles

Two independent taxonomies ship with the plugin — Departments (wttm_department) and Job Roles (wttm_role). Assign either, both, or neither to any team member.

Each taxonomy gets its own archive page automatically, and on the main team archive you can turn on front-end filter tabs powered by Department, Job Role, or both — configured under Settings → Archive.

Display Options & Privacy

Everything about how a card looks — and what personal data it's allowed to reveal — lives under Team Manager → Settings → Display.

Gutenberg Blocks & Elementor Widgets

Two ways to place a team display visually, in addition to shortcodes — both read from the exact same settings and member data, so a card looks identical no matter which one you use.

Gutenberg blocks

Both are server-side rendered (render.php), so they always reflect your live settings and content — there's no separate "save" step that can drift out of sync.

Elementor widgets

The Elementor integration class is only loaded when Elementor itself is detected as active — if you don't use Elementor, that code never runs, and the Gutenberg blocks plus shortcodes still work normally.

Schema & SEO

When enabled (the default), the plugin outputs JSON-LD structured data on each single team member page, typed as either Person or Employee — configurable under Settings → Schema & SEO.

If Rank Math is active and already configured to manage schema for the Team Member post type, this plugin's own schema output automatically steps aside to avoid duplicate or conflicting markup on the same page.

WooCommerce Integration

Entirely optional and auto-detected — nothing in this section runs at all if WooCommerce isn't installed.

From a product's edit screen, set a team member in the product's "Webtend Team" field. The plugin then adds a tab to that product's front-end page (default title "Your Account Manager", filterable via webtend_tm_wc_tab_title) showing that team member's card.

The plugin declares compatibility with WooCommerce's High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and Cart & Checkout blocks, so it won't trigger compatibility warnings on modern WooCommerce setups.

Shortcodes

REST API

All routes live under the webtend-tm/v1 namespace. Public routes never expose email or phone unless the site owner has switched on "Show email address" / "Show phone number" in Settings → Display.

List endpoint query parameters

All Settings

Every option, grouped by the settings tab it lives under (Team Manager → Settings).

Display

Archive

Advanced

Tools

The Tools tab doesn't store settings itself — it lets you export your current settings as JSON, import a previously exported JSON file, or reset everything to factory defaults (team member content is never touched by a reset).

Hooks & Filters

For developers and agencies who need to customise behaviour without editing core plugin files.

add_filter( 'webtend_tm_wc_tab_title', function() {
    return __( 'Your Support Contact', 'my-theme' );
} );

Privacy

Team member email and phone number are stored as regular post meta on your own database — never sent anywhere — and are hidden from the public front end by default. They only appear on cards, in the REST API, or in a downloaded vCard if you've explicitly switched on "Show email address" / "Show phone number".
