Select “Add New” next to Profile in the WordPress dashboard, or from top menu under “+ New”.
Fill in the following sections:
Add title: First and last name.
Type / choose a block: Click on this area and add the person’s bio. You can include hyperlinks to articles, or a button to return to the awards page.
Profile name: First and last name.
Subheading: This will be what shows up under the person’s name. Could include the award name, program of study, year of graduation, etc.
Quote: Feel free to select a short quote (less than 25 words) from their bio or article to include on the page.
Banner image: This will be the image that shows up if the bio appears as a larger rectangular box on the website, for example at the bottom of a Programs page. Crop this image to showcase the person’s face as well as part of the background, approx. dimensions: 1000px by 400-600px landscape. Click here for an example.
On the right-hand side, select the top gear (Settings). Scroll down in the Profile area to select the required Profile Groups. Set your featured image here too—this will be the image that shows up as the profile image (in the circle). Crop this image to showcase the person’s face close-up, 500x500px. Click here for an example.
Always check the page to ensure the links hyperlink correctly and the photos are cropped correctly.
