WordPress plugin that adds a custom post type for staff.

This plugin registers a simple custom post type for staff. I wrote it for WordCamp Nashville 2014.

If your site is running a Genesis Framework child theme, this plugin includes a template for the archive page. If you're not running the Genesis Framework, you can create your own templates for these in your theme. If you don't like my templates, comment out lines 80 and 101 in simple-staff.php file. This will remove the style, script, and template loaded by the plugin.

Alternatively, if you are running a Genesis Framework child theme and want to make your own template, the plugin now handles this better. Add your template (archive-staff.php or single-staff.php) to your theme and the plugin will use that instead of its own template, so you don't need to comment out any lines at all.

• WordPress 3.6, tested up to 3.9
• Genesis Framework (templates will not work with other themes)
• an HTML5 theme because I was too lazy to add XHTML support back in.

Check out the Codex for more information about installing plugins manually.

Using git, browse to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory and clone this repository:

git clone git@github.com:robincornett/simple-staff-genesis.git

Then go to your Plugins screen and click Activate.

I've used variations of this code in several iterations--doing it wrong (by hand), as part of a theme, and in plugins for clients. Since I'm using it as an example for WordCamp Nashville 2014, I'm writing it up as its own plugin.

1.0.0 initial release 1.1.0 reworked archive template so widget would be more gracefully placed; also set up better conditionals for plugin templates.
