A WordPress Person is a custom post type that stores associated information like someone’s name, email, phone, address, etc. in one record.

To add a person’s profile to a website, you first need to create a record for that person. Do this by mousing over New in the black admin bar of the site and pick Person from the drop-down options.

  1. Type the person’s name in the “Add Title” field.
  2. Fill in all the First Name, Last name fields.
  3. Fill in any other fields that you want displayed for this person.
  4. In the right sidebar, select a Category for this person, if applicable.
  5. Also in the right sidebar, select or upload a feature image for this person.
    1. Consult the image best practices when working with images.
    2. The recommended photo size is 640 x 640 pixels

Once a person’s record has been created, it can be displayed on any Page or Post using the People block or the Single Feature: Person block.
